Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is exactly what the video game market needed. Powerful, affordable, and game changing. This Ally is great. Now, i won’t nitpick. It’s a first generation device. It won’t be perfect. But people complain just because they love To complain.

Great handheld device. Only thing i dont like is the battery life but its not so bad that i cant rate it 5 stars.

Amazing device, if you are comfortable in a windows environment this is the creme de la creme of handhelds. It can be a bit fussy navigating windows with a touch screen but if that's something you can handle I can't recommend this enough.

Just picked this up great price. Very happy so far i am new to the gaming p. C world

Excellent product. Like all Windows products, you have to be patient and work around some quirks. Overall the performance is great for the form factor.

This is not just a gmaing handheld but gaming pc and could preform tasks on the go thqt u would need a full blown laptop for .. hook it up to a monitor or just a docking station with prepherials and u r set

If you're in the market for a handheld PC, I'd hold on a little longer. Installing/managing software here is a pain, performance takes a ton of tweaking for every game, and battery life is embarrassing. I could see certain use-cases for a device like this in its current state, but I think your money is best saved for a more streamlined device that will likely see the light of day sometime soon. Perhaps the SteamDeck 2 whenever that lands.

Great device, the specs far outmatch the competition for the price, but SD card issues abound and mine has completely stopped working. This is something acknowledged by ASUS.

Great hardware but the software experience is still lacking compared the Steam Deck. Once you iron things it out it plays anything you want well.

Honestly I love this thing but it is a first gen device with all the bugs that entails. I returned it and will be revisiting this in a year or two after theyve refined the product.

So far this thing is amazing! But you do have to tweak a few things for certain games to run well but overall its great!

Great performance, runs AAA games snd performs great with emulators!

The ROG ALLY is absolutely amazing. Love this device. It has its issues but it is definitely a nice alternative to the steam deck and other handhelds especially at this price point. Definitely would recommend if your into the handhelds.

I preordered and couldn't wait to get it. I love being able to do so many things on it at once. I've bought all the accesories for it and I use it like a pc. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won't regret it.

Just like a gaming PC, full Windows 11 and the speakers sound amazing! I wish it had one addtional usb port and support for ethernet networking.

Excellent hand held PC love it. Game play is good no freezing or slowing down loads fadt and easy to setup.

Still have my steam deck- first game on the Rog Ally - MW2 - ran at 90-100 fps 1080p Turbo mode. Setup is not that bad- relax people.

Luckily mine was in the return window when the sd card reader went bad. You may want to get the extra warranty. Otherwise a beautiful system

Great handheld gaming unit, but even a decent desktop PC depending on how you utilize and accessories it

It’s unfortunate I have to give the Ally One Star because I was looking forward to it so much. They hyped it up beyond belief and honestly it was a blast while it worked for a week. If you want to have a handheld device with the standard 512gb of storage and run AAA games or emulators, you may have to offload and load a few games at a time but this will do it for you. It was great while it worked. It was a real shame when I took all the time setting up my emulators, even bought a very expensive 1tb SD card, and then after a few days of playing, the Ally fried my SD card and everything on it. Completely FUBAR. Not only that but Asus support was no help and told me I am SOL on the SD card despite them admitting the Ally has thermal issues doing this to a majority of users. This isn’t just my unit, EVERY ROG ALLY DOES THIS. If you play a game off your SD card and use a higher Watt power profile, it will destroy your SD card. So now what, I am out the 100$+ on my SD card, and Asus will RMA my device but it’s still not going to fix the failure every device has. Such a bummer because I was truly looking forward to using the Ally but I might as well return it and get a Steam Deck which I know works. And the customer support of Steam is actually helpful. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool device and I was willing to look passed all the software glitches and imperfections but Asus may want to cut their QA department after this one because they didn’t test the Ally well. They relied on paying YouTubers to test and review it for them, who obviously missed some key issues. My advice if you’re keeping the Ally, get a 2TB m.2 to upgrade because Asus completely neglected the SD slot and there is nothing they do to fix it.
