Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing can run any game at a stable 30-60 FPS. I played through the entirety of RDR2 and never went under 30, sometimes hitting 60. Incredible. Battery life is the only negative, but that was expected.

This thing has a ton of power inside of it and has great performance for many games that I’ve tired. In my opinion it’s the best way to get games in the go with having a laptop or a giant desktop with yiu

Was able to buy an open box model. However after a couple days of tweaking/updating it and trying out some of my favorite games, I have decided to return it. DISCLAIMER: this thing is AWESOME. It is a full fledged computer in every sense and even better! I already own a perfectly fine gaming PC, and don’t care to go through the necessary setup with this, just to occasionally play it. PC gaming is still very keyboard/mouse dependent, but from what I’ve seen with docks the Rog Ally is 100% capable of that. Something like this (perhaps a newer version), May very likely be my next PC. The 4nm chip architecture has half the performance of my gaming PC, and with less than 50watts to power it!! Absolutely amazing! Again, just not for me at this time.

Works really well and love the game play. Can get hot if you’re not letting the air flow. It’s a handheld pc so it’s awesome. Photo is compared with a switch light. Much bigger screen yet not heavy

Rog Ally is a next generation when compared to the Steam Deck. Although, Windows is buggy and annoying at a times but you get so many options to do with your handheld without the need of dealing with errors if you choose to install games from various platforms (GOG, Epic, EA, etc). However, if you like using docking stations (TV connection), Rog Ally isn’t seamless compared to steam deck. An update could fix that. For me, the screen itself in Rog Ally is a worthy upgrade. I upgraded the 512gb to 2Tb before I even started using it. It’s the best handheld gaming device in the market.

Looks cool, works great. Has ran every game i have thrown at it so far, with little to no tinkering with settings. Battery life is short, but thats expected with so much power in a small package.

ok, I have both the Steam Deck and the Rog Ally. Both are similar in size, and have the same screen size, resolution, and storage. that's where the similarities end. Here is where the Rog Ally excels over the Steam Deck. 1: ability to adjust and customize the GPU settings. can't adjust the GPU settings on the Steam Deck. 2: ability to play all Steam games. Steam Deck is still having compatibility issues. 3: recognizes external storage devices like thumb drives. Steam Deck does not. 4: full version of Windows 11 all in all a much better and more versatile unit than the Steam Deck.

Bought this juat so I could play Genshin. It plays flawlessly. Also bought an external battery since battery life isnt great.

Coming from a Steam Deck OLED this for me is a much better device. It is basically a small laptop/tablet. I have no worries of games not being compatible, No fiddling or workarounds. Windows is much more familiar than Linux for the majority of users as well. Storage is enough as well, just manage your games, I don't play that many at once, just select few or I would lose focus. You can always upgrade the internal storage. The SD card problem is a thing but I am fine with it, Asus gave an extra year pf warranty by registering the device. 36 months total! I will just use the SD slot sparingly or not at all. I can move items via the USB-C option or wirelessly. Also, you can use One Drive or other similar cloud option to work with files. All in all, this is a great device but only if you get it on sale, not the full retail price of 600-700ish. It may go down in price permanently with the competitors coming out with new devices. You could definitely give it a try first and see if it fits your likes and needs.

The good - it's a nice piece of hardware for the price. It quite literally will run aaa games usually on low-mid settings (still looks great on the small screen) windows is not as bad to deal with on the handheld as some say (if you're not looking for the console experience the steam deck provides). The bad - the buttons and joysticks don't feel aaa, they feel like a well built but generic brand controller, think powera or whoever makes the decent off brand Nintendo stuff. And as everyone else has said, setup is a pain to get everything updated and running correctly.

For the price this thing does it all! I was seriously impressed at how well games run on the Ally. Everything from RDR2 to Hogwarts legacy have all run super smooth. Pair this with a good docking station, a wireless keyboard, and a good controller this portable gaming console can do everything you need it to, plus more with its windows 11 built in. I will reccomend a larger micro sd card if you plan on downloading a lot of games, or upgrade the ssd to the 1tb or 2tb

100% would buy and recommend. Only downside is battery life, but bought it knowing for higher level games I’d probably need to have it plugged in, so I can’t really complain.

Very cool handheld PC. It really is a PC. The unit does get a little hot after an hour or more of usage. Very cool for getting your gaming fix while on the road. Great for frequent travelers.

Where do I start? This thing really has been my ALLY since I purchased it. I was waiting for Dell to drop the UFO but Asus got the jump on them and made all the things I wanted about a handheld come true that the steam deck just didn't have. Full windows 11 with microsofts blessing + support, constant driver upgrades to enchance the performance, inverted thumbsticks, beefier hardware, a 1080p 120hz freesync display with 100% SRGB coverage, and all the AMD goodies baked in like like the 720p to 1080p resampling that gives you insane fps boosts on a handheld like this. I've had a blast using a mouse and keyboard with this thing at work on my breaks, and often I use itas my main work PC! Can't recommend it enough!

Ive been in the market for a handheld like this for quite sometime.. Ive done much research on the ROG Ally and the Steam Deck and you cant compare it to the steam deck the steam deck is a linux based handheld that runs specific games basically SteamOS. However the ROG Ally is running a full version of windows 11 and that alone tells you what kind of games you can play. Its also running a Z1 Extreme processor and withs its built in APU I’m running Starfield at between 30-50 FPS on medium settings. I love this purchase.. so long switch.

ROG Ally is the best gaming handheld ive owned. I have the Steam Deck and the Ally and i pick up the Ally almost everytime for handheld gaming. The Steam Deck is a more comfortable grip but the Ally is so much more versatile. I play all kinds of games and the Ally can handle all of them. It takes some tweaking to get your games set up right but there are so many guides out there for specific game settings. 10/10 would recommend. Cant wait to see what ROG will do next for handheld gaming

I LOVE THIS THING! The ROG Ally has replaced my Steam Deck this will be my DAILY DRIVER for a long time that's how good it is. ONLY downside to this device is the battery so come-on Asus get it together!

Absolute blast! Really great device. Have had zero issues. Surprised by battery life after watching YouTube Reviews. Plays Wildlands, Diablo 4 and Far Cry 5 extremely well.

Purchase rog ally because i can play my Xbox games online anywhere anytime when i go on long road trips and i differently recommend you guys to get one. This thing run amazing and also super fast.

I have used the Ally about 10 times over the course of the last 4 weeks. When it loads up a game, it looks great and runs fast. The battery life is lacking for a "portable" device. It has needed an OS update every 2-3 uses. It hasn't caused an issue in some games, but I have had issues running a couple of games. Controls feel a little clunky and I have bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with it. I would probably purchase it again, but not at this price point.
