Customer Ratings & Reviews

This little thing is a beast. The only downside is battery life. It’s quick and easy to use. The upgraded processor is the way to go if you can splurge that much more.

The specs for this device are amazing. When it works, it works great! I understood buying a Windows device would have some learning curves, but ASUS doesnt do any favors with its software packages. I shouldn’t have to use three or four apps to update the entire system. Battery life is decent considering games like Elden Ring run at 40+ fps. You can tweak things around and obtain longer battery life. Several YouTube videos and third party apps later all the settings line up to make the device perform like ASUS software should have. Overall, if you dont mind to tinker this thing is great. If you want “console like plug and play” the Steam Deck would be better.

Solid portable pc! Battery life is somewhat lacking, but that’s to be expected with handheld gaming pcs.

If you need a gaming PC that can run every game at minimum 60 FPS plus being extremely portable then you should buy this. Incredible product that needs some firmware updates to be perfect.

Great product, battery is a draw back but it still worth the money for the great screen and specs it has.

Getting around at first is a learning curve, but all in all I prefer this over the laptop that I had at the time. I use this when my steam deck dies.

The best Windows-based gaming handheld on the market. VRR, 1080p, small and light. Awesome little device, especially if you're familiar with gaming on Windows PCs.

The asus rog ally is good for AAA games and really good performance. The downfall is the battery life 1 hour last.

Great device for gaming, it doesn’t necessarily make gaming ‘portable’ because you will want it plugged in for the best performance and to play longer than an hour.. I use mine for a few different games Beamng drive, world of Warcraft …it works really good for most games however games like wow that aren’t fully optimized will occasionally freeze, do a black screen and resume eventually but it can be really frustrating ..addons like consoleport make it a seamless experience outside of that though..

Great console, easy to play, well build, very good sound and handling.

It's a very good product it just had a few minor inconveniences. One being having to configure the controller scheme on every single game, you really have to fine tune it and mess with alot of buttons just for one game so when you go to another you have to configure it all again. It does save two profiles, gamepad and desktop but it seems like you can't even switch between each or it's really finicky. But besides that it has it's **** near as powerful as my desktop w/ DL speeds of almost 1g a second so very good there and the screen looks amazing. Also the joysticks and buttons feel great and are nice to use it's only the configuring I have a problem with.

got it open box and i has been amazing, runs games nice and since its windows you can play basically anything on it.

Fun. Agile. As promised. Very pleased. I do get concerned about possible over heating, but haven’t had any issues.

A fantastic handheld PC, it plays all of my games at acceptable settings. The screen looks fantastic, especially when 120hz is enabled.

I will lead with my final appraisal of this device while it was working as that feels more fair than just the bad end result of my purchase. After several hours uninstalling, updating, tweeking, learning, and then finally gaming I loved the Ally. I pulled down a consistent 90+ fps in Diablo 4 with some of the settings maxed but most low or off. No heat issues, no lag, no stutter. Ran well and is more than acceptable for a portable PC gaming experience. Marauders would always crash after a few seconds in the menus, Rocket League played well with no issues, Hell Let Loose seemed serviceable and looked fine to me with no crazy FPS dips or tearing. All in all the devoce is more than a solid portable gmaing option. At the price point and with the AMD eGPU total cost gets up to a gaming laptops. Whether a laptop is a better fit for you than this device is up to you? I wouod say that if the Ally has an inch or 2 more of screen real-estate I'd be in love. Heck its probaly not too hard to get a 3D printed mount for a ln iPad or tablet to sit ontop of the Ally and still hold the controller part behind it to game on a nicer bigger screen? Idk. Gotta return mine unfortunately. 1st impression was that I was returning the Ally because it didnt meet my expectations off the rip. Fast forward about 8 hours of hands on playing and tweeking while connected to the supplied power source in a 65° AC with the onboard fans wide open. I get an error message while playing Diablo at 1080p that says I "ran out of memory." It forces a restart and thwn my device simply never powers back on. No leds when plugged in or docked, non when not. No button combination forces a reboot or anything. Just a brick now. There are non in stock within an hour+ of me and the Best Buy I shop at is already 45 minutes away. Also the storage is lacking. The SD slot did work with no issues for me but is an outdated medium if you ask me.

Works like a charm, but needs additional battery bank that is not hard to find, because battery holds for about 1 hour of continues play. Small and powerful, perfect idea for travel.

Got the rog cuz I wanted to play PC games in handheld mode. It was alright. Ran great. But the console was heavy and needed constant charging. Didn't last more than a little over an hour running on battery. Also wrists started hurting from holding it for a short period of time. Ended up returning it.

Love this gamer. It's strong point is it's hardware and that it has windows 11. It's weak points are it's battery life and that it has windows 11. I know I know but it's true. Having windows means I can run any game in my steam library. But because it has windows means it can be a bit quirky at times. That being said the lil quirks from windows isn't enough to detract from how great this handheld is. Would absolutely recommend to any pc gamer who wants a handheld. Be prepared to have it plugged in most of the time though.

Other than windows being jank, it's a great pc handheld! Played my games well and I didn't run into to many issues. The battery could be better and the asus interface needs some finessing, but if it's on sale and you don't already have a pc handheld then this is a great option.

Sure, there's some updates and setup needed out of the box (it is a PC, so that was expected), but that all went rather smoothly. It feels good in the hands, control layout is great, and the screen is just amazing. I installed a new 2tb ssd upgrade. This was also very easy to do. Asus has how-to videos online, just make sure to update everything thru the MyAsus app first. Then you can use the automated cloud recovery to reinstall everything. I also own a Steam Deck but this will be my new go-to when I wanna do some handheld gaming.
