Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best handhelds on the markets still, with a lot of mods to improve battery, internal storage, ergonomics. Travelled with this thing around the world, gaming on a plane or train - and can say that it is totally worth it. Battery life is manageable - just keep your power bank around for longer sessions.

I love then thing , literary replaced my PC fir most of my week. Play every lunch Break i get at work. More powerful then the steamdeck and plays my whole steam library with no issues . Battery life isn't a issue and screenis amazing. I upgraded tje Ssd to a 1tb took maybe 4 mins. Asus has a windows cloud recovery that install windows back with all the Ally drivers.

I’ve had the Rog Ally for a couple weeks now, and love it. I originally purchased the Steam Deck, but Linux was way too comolicated for me to figure out. I got tired of having to watch youtube vidoes just to do something simple like mod The Sims. Enter the Rog Ally-I’m much more comfortable with Windows as we use it for work, and I used to have an asus computer. This little mini computer is powerful, and I can easily play The Sims anywhere, and modding is so easy as well. The battery life could be improved, I do find myself having to leave it plugged in while I play. Which should be fine even for travel, since each plane seat has their own plug now adays. Overall, I’ve wanted a hanheld for The Sims for years, so for me this is worth the money. It’s also a lot smaller and fits more comfortably in my hands then the Steam Deck.

I was overjoyed as soon as I unboxed the ROG Ally. It has a perfect size dsiplay for handheld gaming and it runs on windows which makes it perfect to take on other tasks besides gaming like Aimlabs and what all in one system. I was especially interested in the specs. It was full HD and 120hz refresh rate with I believe was also a 1ms response time. Any hardcore would love gaming on this handheld and not have to worry about specs. ASUS really delievered when they introduced a handheld with this specs to game on the go. Makes up for gaming on the go! If there were 10 stars to rate it. I would do just that. Get you a ROG Ally if you frequently travel. Its portable superiority!

The power it provides is unimaginable to me in this form factor. I use it for gaming , browsing and watching contents and it delivers excellence through vision and sound quality. Battery backup works well for my needs. Every device drains faster when you push them really high. It even hits 53 APU WATT while playing high end games on plugged turbo mode. Comparing the performance ,the price is really cheap. Its feels like something from future as I wasn't ready for this masterpiece. It can run everything smooth enough to convince you to buy one. I love my rog Ally.

This is a very cool system. It runs games great screen is really clear. The only down side is the battery life. You almost cant play it without having it plugged in. If they could get the battery life down it would be a 5 star for sure

Honestly, one of the best purchases I've made. While it's marketed as a 'Gaming Handled', it's truly a compact ASUS ROG computer, loaded with Windows 11 and full desktop functionality. It's great for gaming, but it really is a PC that has a controller as it's housing. It runs games like BO6, Rivals and Fortnite seamlessly, while bigger more intensive games struggle sometimes if you're playing through Cloud. If you download them however, it runs just like a PS5 or Xbox. Would definitely recommend the purchase, grab an adapter and a monitor and have some fun.

easy to use, works great, runs World of Warcraft no problem which is my main reason to buy for travel and couch play.

It does what it's supposed to. Great hand held PC gaming experience. Battery life isn't the best and you'll find you may need to upgrade your internal SSD. As the micro SD card slots can fry your external cards. Otherwise it's an awesome gaming experience

As a first gen, this thing absolutely hits all the bells and whistles. I'm coming from a laptop running an i3 from like 10 years ago and desperately needed an upgrade to something modern that can run anything I throw at it. This device is so worth it. If you're not docking it and just running handheld, maybe save for the x due to poor battery life if that's a concern of yours. Otherwise, you'll definitely be happy with your purchase.

This product is really good! I haven't played on my computer since then, it feels really good being able to play while I'm lying on the bed. One thing that I have to say: if you're not good at computers, you're going to have some issues after a while. This is not a plug & play device, it requires some tweaking so you can get the best out of it. If you're willing to learn Windows and you like computers then go ahead. I've been able to play some MMOs like New World, WoW, ESO; and of course some other games like Euro Truck, Bus Simulator, which work great with the gyroscope. For RPGs it is amazing, I haven't had any issues with any game so far. * Cons: - Battery life is not too good, although I don't mind because I play plugged to the charger all the time. Those 30W in turbo require constant power. - Windows, Armoury Crate and AMD can give you some headaches if you're not a regular computer person. * Pros: - Beautiful 1080p screen, it's not an OLED but it looks truly beautiful. - Performance is decent enough to let you play whatever you want to play at least on 30-60 FPS. Less demanding games can hit way above that.

This Handheld is literally the best gaming item I have bought it forever, don't get me wrong I love my Xbox series X and PC, but they ease of literally just grab&go play is amazing! Asus really put out a great product especially since it's a windows interface, the capabilities are just right for those gamers that want full customization as well as capabilities.. I got smooth gameplay with good frames for a hand held (60fps pretty consistently), the ability to change the wattage output higher for those tripleA titles or lower for the indie games makes a huge difference. You can upgrade the storage without voiding the warranty (very easy install or even easier in-store with the total tech membership [totally worth it]). I bought one for myself in June 2023 and have done soooo many things to it but to be honest haven't got to play it as much as I would like because my GF who isn't much of a gamer is literally obsessed with it (I ended up buying her one too). All in all I got a great product and my GF is gaming along with me more often! #MustBuy #GetTotalTech

So much better than the steam deck, sold it the day after receiving the ally. Windows can be a hassle sometimes but the screen is amazing and plays most triple A games around the medium settings. Battery is terrible but that’s the only negative

Just what I needed and wanted. Perfect for playing games away from my main desktop and I’m still able to do everything I want on my main computer on my Ally. Emulation, modding older games, as well as playing a couple of AAA games is neat. I don’t see this machine replacing my gaming desktop completely, but it is an ease of access that allows me to use my computer without being stuck to a desk and worrying about a laptop’s air vents from being blocked and causing overheating.

Overall I think this is a great device. My only complaint with it is the battery life, but since I play it at home or in my car, I’ve always got a charger nearby anyway. I wish these handheld PCs gave us 1TB instead of half that. Other than that this thing is phenomenal.

I got this specifically to play PS exclusives, indie games on steam and to emulate my switch and ps3 collection. Needless to say that I am not disappointed. This thing runs everything you can throw at it. Battery’s a bit sucky but that’s the tradeoff and its also a lot more portable than the legion go.

One of the best investment i could have made not only can i take it wherever i want and its easy to transport no hassle the battery life is okay could be better but its like a laptop with a built-in comptroller plays everygame I've tested from call of duty to fortnite everything runs smoothly

I am blown away with the Asus ROG Ally. I am coming from the Switch OLED and the Steam Deck and I can honestly say the ROG Ally is better than both. It is a little bit of a learning curve because we have to remember, this is essentially a laptop without a keyboard...but after a few hours of updates and just basic practice of using the device, you will end up loving it. For those of you who have the XReal AR glasses, yes - it works flawlessly. Do not listen to the fanboy Steam Deck haters. I myself will be selling my Steam Deck because of the ROG Ally.

I have the high end Steam deck and seen that Asus Rog Ally 7 was available for preorder at Bestbuy. The selling points for me were better specs, better graphics, and that it runs Windows 11 vs Linux right from the get go. So far I haven't been disappointed. The game I like to play on Steam runs on the Rog but not on the Steam deck, so big win there. Secondly I like having a windows based system that is a handheld. This will take some getting use to in order to use windows the way I do on a P.C.. Doubt that will ever happen but atleast its an alternative for portable Windows, and my guess is Windows runs better on this device vs Steam deck. I dont plan to test this theory. I also think the feel of the Rog is a little better vs the Steam deck, possibly because it is lighter but maybe its the control placement or both. Both systems are very good portables but I feel the Rog can be used more easily for more things outside of Steam. The batteries on both systems seem to drain quickly but Im always sitting or laying down when I use these devices so as long as Im near a plug Im good. Internal Storage capacity is also bad on both 512gb is not enough nowdays but there are options to add more space on both. Until the Steam deck 2 comes around it appears the Asus Rog Ally will be my go to handheld.

I also, own the Steam deck. While I understand that the Windows experience is not as easy in some aspects as Steam OS there are other aspects where it's easier. Installing alternative launchers doesn't require a YouTube video. You just download the launcher from the website and go. The screen is way better than the Decks passable 800p screen. The performance is better but it's not a massive boost especially at 1080p. The Ally is not as comfortable but it's alright the software feels cobbled together. However once you get into a game it's amazing! The beautiful vrr screen at higher framerates is awesome when it's possible. Mw2 plays around 80fps and looks great! The battery life isn't great but I don't know when I won't be near an outlet or have a battery bank when gaming for hrs. The buttons and sticks are fine. The sound is amazing. The sd card issues need to be fixed though. The bios issue was fixed so you can update if you want. I love it. I have no issues with my unit.
