Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros +powerful gaming handheld +can multitask while gaming +cool looking and decent ergonomics +can run emulators like a boss +can play pc games 1080p (30fps on AAA) Cons -software a bit buggy and awkward at first but might get fixed -windows might not be for everyone -not a full console experience like the psp , ps vita or nintendo switch -still needs software updates since its a bit of mess

This is a great device for on the go. It can handle quite well with newer games! Highly recommend!

It was a great gaming machine. But battery was disappointing.

This is one of the best handhelds i have used. Battery life is ok but everything else is great

Solid upgrade performance wise from the steam deck. Play at 720p, upscale to 1080p and it runs mostly everything with medium or higher settings /30fps. Vrr low cap can also be changed easily from 45fps to 30fps. Battery life isnt great, as to be expected 1hr 25w. Display is excellent, controls feel very nice, and the machine is about as lousd as a gaming laptop under medium load.

After readijg all the reviews both positive and negative i decided to give this a try. I absolutely love it. I didnt run into any issues with my device. Its been a blast and i sold my gaming laptop. I travel a bit for work so having this on the go has been a real treat than lugging my laptop around with all the components as well. If you are familiar with gaming on desktop/laptop windows then this should be a rather easy product to use. For what this product can do the price is actually decent.

System runs great, plays most games at decent fps and settings.

This has gotten much better since release. The updates helped with performance and now it turns on and you can just play. Runs games very well and medium settings. I'm very impressed with the hardware and screen. I wish it had quick resume like the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update.

I haven’t tried it with a micro SD so I can’t say if it’s true that they are damaged by the rog ally, but the the controller feels really comfortable (I thought it wouldn’t be by the looks) And the power is really good in general. The only ugly thing I haven’t liked so far (beside some software bugs) is the battery, it drains very fast. You will have around 1 hour of playing in mid - high games.

I find myself using it everyday. Areas of improvement would be better ergonomics and better battery life. The sharp edges can be uncomfortable to hold for a long time.

Worth every penny in my opinion but the “sleep” feature sometimes freezes my game and I get reverted to my last save. Which can be a lot or not that much so it can be inconvient. As far as battery life, its okay, best I can put it, like it drains depending in what you are doing about a percent a minute and it’s dissappointing but I never have 100 minutes to play everyday and I play for 15 min-30 min increments and thats where the processor really shines because boot times are less than a minute I love that, but 600$ is a lot of money at the end of the day and the question being is it worth it is honestly up to you the buyer to decide because it’s use for various settings and I personally use it for work and at night sessions when the mrs is asleep so its good for me but it has its pros and cons.

Incredibly happy with the ally. Its a cross between a laptop and a gaming tablet. Its very obviously geared towards PC gamers, so if you arent familiar with steam or windows gaming, it'll be a little difficult as its not made like a nintendo switch. If youre willing to put the effort in to learn it, its an awesome handheld that you can also use as a mobile PC if you connect a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Great piece of tech, few bugs out of the box, but a few updates later, it runs great

I have had this device for over a year now and have had no issues at all with it. Almost perfect. Looks better in my opinion over the new X version. For the price this can now be had, this a the best bargain in handheld gaming PC anywhere.

Overall a nice device. Lower rating is due to the fact that windows on a handheld is really not fun. It’s not designed for a handheld touchscreen. Build quality is solid. Fan noise is ok on 15-18w but at 25w gets a bit loud. Screen is fantastic. Performance is great at 30w plugged in.

This is an amazing product, however, the major issue at the moment is the micro SD card reader. ASUS has acknowledged this issue, but unfortunately my first rog ally’s micro SD card reader stopped working after about 11 days. I’m hopefully that it’s more of a firmware issue so I have ordered a replacement. Other than that, it is an excellent gaming device if you have a bit of technical expertise.

Very fun and perfect to PC games on the go! Had my eye on this for awhile and finally got one. Not disappointed.

In great condition works like new and awesome handheld love being able to play games away from my pc!

I imagined this product 15 years ago when Xbox 360 was out. I wanted it to be a reality so bad. When the switch came out it was the closest thing to it, but this blows the switch out of the water. I have 2 young kids so finding time to sit down in front of a tv or computer to play games is nearly impossible. Now I play this thing all over the place at the house, at work, or if I go out for lunch. I haven’t been able to game in years and I love this!

This thing is powerful and a joy. Only bummer is battery life but well worth the trade off for power.
