Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought to play on different games on different launchers. Works great with both epic games and steam. It is the perfect handheld.

Battery runs out fast it works really well but that’s my only complaint

Good device, though battery could be better along with heating

After owning a Steam deck for the past year, I’ve been extremely pleased with the ability to play games that were off limits on the deck. I’m familiar with Windows for gaming, but mostly a Mac user. I’ve been very pleased with how well the Rog Ally works given the normal exceptions you need to make for Windows. Yes, there are more updates and tweaking necessary than a more closed platform, but as usual with Windows, you get maximum flexibility and ALL the options. I’ve enjoyed my time with the Rog Ally so far, and would definitely recommend it.

The Ally is a pretty neat little device. As more updates roll out this thing will have the optimization I think many gamers are looking for. Compared to the Alienware or the ROG Big Rig I custom built it can handle solid 1080P graphics and I average 70-80 fps on the really GPU intense games like Dead Island or CP2077. The option to dock it and connect keyboard and mice through Bluetooth is nice. If you are trying to game on a budget I would recommend this. If you are looking for something a little more powerful for the price point stick with a Ps5.

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present. Short of the long, she loves it. It also works as a handheld PC

Wish the battery life was better but outside of that it performs as advertised. Great product.

This is a great handheld computer that you can also play gamesand movies on. Excellent responsiveness of controls during gaming. No lagging or stuttering noted. Great device all the way around

Ran perfect for me and runs all my games perfectly. I use it as my travel PC and does everything I need.

Great competition for any other handhelds out there. Great battery, great frame rate, great graphics!

The ROG Ally is a great little device. Whats keeping this a 5 star product is the hardware issues. Asus poorly designed this device. It fries SD cards, with mine i had to RMA after two months because the left thumb stick only inputs up and does (known defect). The process to get this swapped out is terrible. If your device defects past the 14 day return window, bestbuy will not help you even though they have a deal with ASUS to handle RMAs. Best Buy will only send it to Geek Squad and you wont see your device for 15 days. Geek Squad was rude and was angry that I followed ASUS instructions to wipe my device before sending to them. They asked "how are we to test it if you wiped your device?". Just beware the head ache of your device defects.

This is a machine that is going to age like fine wine. Amory Crate still needs work but Windows is not a hindrance. Just keep expectations in check. Its not going to run Cyberpunk full blast but Im not looking to play a game like that on a 7 inch screen anyway. Its nice to know that if I tone it down I can though. Ive had absolutely no problems with my Ally that would have damaged or corrupted the system in any way. Been using it since day one. Armory crate is the only thing that really needs work still as of 7-19-23. Buy it and game away.

I had an absolute nightmare trying to setup the Ally. Initially couldn’t get the keyboard to pull up in the window setup. After restarting it worked. Then when I was setting everything up I kept getting armoury crate errors during the windows setup. After finally making it into windows everything was good….. until it wasn’t. After updating the Ally I went to enter my pin and it gave me an error saying my pin was unavailable and to setup a new pin. I just changed my number on my microsoft account so it was asking me to enter a code sent to my old number to setup a new pin… My only option was to reset the ally because everytime I pressed the back button to try and login to a different microsoft account to setup a new pin it would kick me back to the enter pin screen. I ended up having to hook up a keyboard and getting to the recovery screen to reset the ally. After finally going through everything for the second time. I installed updates and the ally kept going through a continuous boot where the thumbstick leds would keep turning on and off. Had to hold the power button and manually power it on to get it to boot correctly. Once it booted guess what happened AGAIN! I got a message saying my pin was unavailable again befofe I even got the chance to try entering it. Needless to say I’ll be returning the Ally. What a massive uneccesary headache and waste of 5hrs of my time trying to get everything to work.

Good for the money runs fine will play most games good

Fantastic little power house however don’t expect much of the battery life… i recommend external power bank when on the go

Bought this for my son after he and I saw the prices for the Switch 2. He's been getting more into steam games and purchases most of the games he has himself. Seeing the prices of the Switch 2 games, he immediately wanted something like this instead. He's constantly using it everywhere and has setup his desk so he can use it with a keyboard and mouse hooked up to occasionally to even play League of Legends on it. He's had no complaints about it and we plan on installing Bazite OS so we can dual boot Windows along with it for a smoother experience for him. Worth the price for sure with how much joy he has and how much more he's outside his room with it and spending time with the family.

If you're looking for a nice handheld that plays pc games and functions as a mini handheld pc this is an amazing device to have, you can play simple indie games, or play all your triple a games such as god of war, spider man, or anything inbetween, not just that but you can also set it up as a desktop. All you need is an adapter, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and you're all set to do school work or browse the web. Theres alot you can do with this device, i wouldnt recommend it for children since it really is just a portable handheld laptop/pc

Device worked amazing overall, the only complaint I had was the battery which led to its return.

Very impressive for the price. This thing is a hand-held beast. I have had no issue running any games I've tried, and they've all run well. I also use this as my only desktop PC now in docked mode and it runs fantastic. The only reason I gave it 4 starts was I found it to be quite frustrating to setup. Out of the box it does not register either thumb stick as a mouse control until you manually go into settings and tell it to.

I Love it, i also have a steam Deck really like both, I'm afraid of using an SD card though, but i only bought it to play Destiny & COD MW2
