Customer Ratings & Reviews

This ROG Alley is first gen Z1E so it has proprietary egpu port and only 16gb of ram. But all that aside it’s a solid device you can play many of you old school Steam favorites although it struggles on new AAA titles.

Simply put, the ASUS ROG Ally is a game-changer. From the moment I laid hands on this gaming handheld, I knew I was in for an exceptional experience. Its versatility is unmatched, allowing me to access a vast array of games across different platforms seamlessly. Whether I'm diving into Steam classics, exploring Xbox Game Pass gems, or even utilizing cloud gaming services, the ROG Ally handles everything with finesse. The flexibility to switch between handheld mode and connecting to a TV for a larger-than-life gaming session is a game-changer. What's even more impressive is its transformation into a full-fledged gaming PC when paired with the ROG XG mobile eGPU and dock. This feature, supporting a range of peripherals from mouse and keyboard to monitors, adds a whole new dimension to gaming convenience. Performance-wise, the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor coupled with the brilliant 7-inch 1080p 120Hz touchscreen, featuring AMD FreeSync technology, delivers an immersive and buttery-smooth gaming experience. The intelligent cooling system ensures that even during intense gaming sessions, the device stays cool, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay. In essence, the ROG Ally redefines handheld gaming. It elevates the entire experience, offering power, versatility, and portability without compromise. If you're looking for a handheld gaming device that goes above and beyond, the ASUS ROG Ally is undoubtedly the pinnacle of innovation.

So this thing is crazy!! Its NOT, REPEAT NOT stream lined like the deck(own both) to be console like. This is a gaming laptop with contollers attached. It does have ita issues but so far I have none that are major and easily fixed. In the end so far...worth every dang cent! Grab yours if higher end AAA games are what you want to play without limits

Wonderful item. Open box quality was excellent. Very fast in and out of the store with friendly employees. Simple, easy, pleasant process. Runs much better than I first anticipated. This thing is powerful for what it is. Thanks!!!

Pretty solid device, battery could be better but it does play any game you can think of very well.

ROG Ally runs my PC games smoothly without any issues. The battery life is short, but I knew that before I bought it. I solved that problem by purchasing a 50000 mAh battery pack. I also knew about the heat issue with the SD card slot, I don’t need to use it so that is not a problem for me. If I want extra space I will upgrade the SSD, instead of using SD cards.

If you have a pc 100% recommended, but besides that I wouldn’t get this one because of the space. The games run great tho gta5 online and story mode on turbo fill 60 with some dips, indie games are awesome too.

Got this on an open box deal while working away from home and cant be happier with it. If your familier with operating a windows system you wont have any issues as long as you keep everything updated. Runs pretty much any game and usually get 2+ hours of gameplay on a full charge.

To start off i have had 2 units, the first one killed a brand new 1tb A2 card from Silicon Power(brand) ordered from amazon. The first one would also put the screen in a sleep state that the units screen wouldnt wake from, i could hear the sounds from the games but the screen wouldnt turn back on. Unit 2 has been mostly ok but in the case no pressure on it or anything the entire analog stick cap came off and would not go back on, the only way is to replace it internally. STILL I would like to say as far as gaming power and capability all in all when all is working THIS IS THE BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVER even over all of my other more powerful systems, it has the best sound ever in a handheld,best screen quality,the hi def vibration is great, and when you put all of those things together you get a sense filled experience while gaming, that said, I have large hands and the ergonomics could use some work on the next iteration. It feels ok but not great in my opinion.

I love it. Its powerful beautiful screen. I love that its portable and yet still powerful. Its great

Works great as promised only issue is battery life it doesn't last very long you pretty much have about 45 min to an hour before you have to charge it but performance wise it works great. Also maybe storage but you could always just add more.

This thing is awesome as long as you understand its limitations. I can play all of my games on it just don't expect 60 fps high settings. First thing is make sure you get all of the updates, YouTube is your friend please watch all the tutorials you can on setting it up my favorites are videos from RetroGame Corp and ETA Prime. Once you have it all setup and games downloaded please use Google to find the best settings per game.

Love this thin, my wife also uses it and enjoys the heck out of it. Fair warning though, battery life isn’t great no matter how you run it. Runs gamepass stuff without an issue, ran remnent 2 and it runs pretty good overall. It’s not going to be running it in high settings but for a current console game to run at 60fps with some tweaking of the settings, can’t complain all in all.

Only Real Gripe is its convoluted setup process and failure to hide the fact that its a windows based machine with UI problems. Otherwise when you get past all that stuff its a Great Device! Runs Most modern PC games beautifully and is lightweight and feels good in the hands

overheating issues 512 gigs is not enough storage for 5-10 games

I was debating between this and the Steam Deck and ultimately decided on this due to the colors, brightness, and resolution. I have since used both and am able to say that this is better than the steam deck in most regards. It is a little more expensive but definitely worth it if you don't want the track pads the steam deck has. That is the only factor the steam deck wins at comparing the two.

really great machine. only complaint is battery life. outside of that, it's super.

Bought this when my pre-order for a lenovo legion go got back ordered and I dont regret it one bit. Powerful enough to run most modern games well. Only 2 drawbacks are that the hard drive isn’t that big (upgraded mine to 1tb), and the rog allys have issues with the SD card reader causing them to fail.

Great device, works well and looks brand new even though I purchased open box. Only issue is battery life.

I did return this since I was able to get the legion Go open box for a $110 less than the original price. But yea…. After updating and some tweaking it was working well. Control game ran with 60+ FPS at 720p with medium settings easily I barely heard the fan go off. It can go up to 1080P but not every game will run at this setting…. The ROG ally software doesn’t compare to the steam deck but I do like it better than the legion go for now. Battery is what you would expect from this type of handheld…. Not very good so keep a Powerbank with you. Sound is the best compared to the legion go and steam deck and I do mean way better!! So if you’re planning on getting one this would be a great time…. Open box items are close to $150 off. Just manage ur expectations though and you will enjoy this wonderful piece of gaming device.
