Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s been pretty awesome having this all my friends and I have been playing hell divers too and fallout four on it. It is amazing. I’ve steam on it and I’m also able to play all of my Xbox titles on it. It is a fantastic portable gaming device and if you’re ever on the go or traveling, I definitely recommend it!

It is a great device with full access to muliple different libraries. The battery life isnt the best especially when you play games like cyberpunk 2077 but its the norm with these kinds of machines. The Veriable Refresh Rate really makes the difference between other hand helds the inbuilt speakers actually sound pretty good especially if you use Dolby atmos.

I've been using this for about 3 weeks now, and man is it great. I use it at work as I have several rounds of downtime 30-90 minutes long. It has been playing D4, POE, Battlefield 2042, and BG3 wonderfully. The screen is crisp and vivid, I have had no issues running at 1080. D4 I am averaging around 70-90 FPS, no stuttering, no issues. This thing has been amazing so far playing the games I like on a mobile device.

I got a great deal on this, Black friday + Open box. Amazing price, I am enjoying the ally except for the SD card slot. It was a defect I was aware of before buying but didnt really believe. It worked for a while and I was able to emulate games etc but then one game crashed the system got hot and the sdcard was no more. This was dissapointing but besides that, I love my ally, it lets me game closer to the wife and if she wants to play something in the car we have that option. Be aware of the flaw, it is real, But so are all the other great things you hear about this device.

I have the steam deck and have played the same games on the rog and higher capacity games that even the steam deck cant fully run and i can most definitely say that this is worth it. Only downside is it dies pretty quick when it comes to playing high end games just like the steam deck.

It was too easy dealing with these guys! I walked in walnting an ROG Ally and walked out with one easy! Great customer service, great outlook!

Great performance and great portability. It is easy to carry than Steam deck and have windows 11 running smoothly. With latest update of Bios firmware and software update, you can pretty much customize all config based on your need per game. I can set up 920p with 18w for Baldurs gate 3 and can run medium setting smoothly and play over 1.5 hr. Going to sold my Steam deck.

The Ally delivers into what is meant to do. A powerful mobile machine. I can take this thing everywhere, it’s a computer and console that plays runs and looks super smooth. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring with Asus Mobile devices. Excellent work here! Highly recommend, I’m a busy parent that can’t afford to sit for hours in front of a PC with this I can whip it out anytime and get some play time!

This device is great for gaming on the go. You should not expect this to play games on ultra settings. The battery life is hit or miss, and this not for non-technical. Highly recommend getting a technical friend to help set this up

This little gaming PC is a beast! I am not a PC user and have used MAC OS most of my life and to be honest, it’s frustrating to do all those PC updates. Don’t expect this thing to work like a plug and play thing because you will need to do LOTS of updates for it to function right. (For beginners reference) You’re gonna have to update the 1. System 2. AMD 3. Armory Crate I had to admit it, it was a pain in the butt but once you do all of it, you’re all set. (Just need to check for updates once in a while.) I own a Steam deck OLED, because I hate doing lots of tinkering and I LOVE my steam deck but now, I find myself picking this up more to play if I am at home or somewhere I could plug it because this thing eats up batter fast and that’s a disadvantage. If you’re a player who loves graphics, PICK THIS UP. You won’t regret it. Refresh rate is 120fps you’ll get that smooth fluid graphics you will never get from the steam deck. (Well, 60fps vs 120fps is incomparable) LIMITLESS GAMING library. After I did an SSD upgrade I LOVE this thing even MORE. This is perfect for PC users but if you hate lots of tinkering and updating, get a steam deck.

I bought this on launch day and am super impressed with the screen, interface and performance however am having tons of issues running updates (whether they fail or pass, they pass installing and the updater doesnt realize it), to games randomly crashing or not installing. This really needs more time to be ready and should have been delayed instead of pushing for the initial release date. I will be returning mine this evening and going back to my Steam Deck for now. I'll reevaluate in a few months whether or not to upgrade then. For $700, this thing should be performing near flawless and it is not.

I really love the Asus rog ally. I had bouyit originally to play games. But found out you can do everything you can on a PC. Gaming performance is dang good, I have only played Diablo 4 and cod mw2 on it so far and both play extremely smooth. The controls are comfortable as well. The screen on the Asus is amazing! Games show off their bling and movies are great as well.

Im a Steam Deck fan-boy that LOVES the concept of handheld gaming. After having the Deck for over a year I have to say, the ROG Ally is better in almost EVERY way. While I actually prefer the ergonomics of the Deck, the Ally blows it away with performance, compatibility, and style. WHY AREN'T MORE REVIEWS MENTIONING THE SPEAKERS?? The Ally has 10x better sound! I'm loving the Ally and couldn't recommend it more.

I use this thing on a semi nightly basis. This thing does everything. A great bedside companion. Plays games well, just have a good power bank on you or an outlet and you'll be fine. Display is nice and it's way more portable than a laptop. Nice when it's paired with a monitor/TV and peripherals.

I was debating between this and the steam deck after doing some research I decided on the rog ally, and I’m not disappointed at all. Ease of use was insanely easy was able to import games (which was mainly the reason for the purchase ) for steam gog epic and Amazon with no problems. Couple that and the fact it is basically a decent handheld pc emulation was a breeze to set up. Another plus was the ease in which the storage can be upgraded (in my case from a 512 to a 2tb ssd). ASUS provides tool to not only make the process seamless but operation to optimize the rog ally are literally at your fingertips (it has a touchscreen). Definitely glad I purchased th rog ally especially since I got it on my Best Buy card 12 month no interest. If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase a pc handheld the rog ally is a good way to go. Definitely consider buying a 100 w charger depending on the operation you are performing the battery will drain fast. Optimizing some settings (watched a couple of videos) help w the fast battery drain. All in all great purchase.

Great product for gamers on the go! The setup was, as expected- for a windows 11 based handheld. Beyond setup and the constant need to be on charge- it’s honestly a fun little hot pocket. If you’re fluent with win11 and Armoury Crate- you’ll be fine. No issues with either of the two we’ve purchased this year!

Processor is lovely but battery life not so great.

My son’s love the mini pc system they can do their schoolwork on it and etc..

I see a bunch of people knocking this device and always comparing it to the Steam deck. I owned a Deck and got tired of always searching the Net to figure what script I needed to get to work with my LG. To get it to recognize docks NVME drive. The straw that broke the camels back was novel voice over wouldn’t work and I was told to contact the game maker when it work on my PC and Mac. Steam deck is cool but a lot of Hupe. I dumped mine and got the ROG Ally. I’m so happy I’m not having to go to desktop enter in text to get functions to work. When did I become an employee of Steam? The Ally works really good for. Instead of having to tinker to get stuff to work I can actually go play. And because of the Windows OS I haven’t had a game not play. I don’t have to typ in scripts to get Xbox cloud to work. I just long into Battlenet x loud etc and it works. Yes the battery drains fast if you have the performance setting cranked up. To me the ROG Ally is a better experience than the Steam deck. I came to play games not work on a handheld. Put in the first day to do updates and downloads then after that just play. I feel the display quality is awesome. I’m just really happy with this unit so far. For me it is way less frustrating than the Steam Deck. They are two different handhelds with different strengths and weaknesses. But for me the ROG Ally was more fun and enjoyable to use. The only thing I don’t like is cost. And lastly Best Buy shipped this thing mad fast. I’m starting to really enjoy Best Buy again

I already owned one and needed a second one for my brother. These things are awesome, and now they're cheaper than ever. I would definitely recommend for a portable PC that's even more powerful than most laptops
