Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted something I could play video games more on the go and not be tied to a desk. I tried the switch and that didn’t do it for me. I enjoy the ergonomics of the device, the screen is sharp and bright, speakers are great. Yes the battery life isn’t great but for the performance and capabilities of this device that’s to be expected. The fact I can play games seamlessly but also use it like a portable windows machine for my streaming services it’s a very capable device.

I switched from using a Steam Deck to the ROG Ally so I could have a handheld that worked better across different launchers such as Epic, EA, and GamePass and have not been disappointed at all. I have not had any issues with the micro SD reader and the Ally has been able to run every game I've installed on it without any issues. The onboard speakers have great sound quality as well. The biggest thing I miss from the Steam Deck is the trackpads, but that's something I can live without.

Been using this device for a while now and can honestly say that it’s fantastic, it handles AAA games like Elden Ring very well for a handheld. 4 stars because the battery is a little short and if you plan on using this with out plugging it in then it might be worth going for the new model.

Excellent handheld. Love the portability but would love a better battery and more storage

I have this and was one of the first ones thst was able to get the Steamdeck within the first year launch as I was on Q2 for shipment. I played thr Deck a ton as well. Since I’ve gotten an Ally, I havent touched my deck since. The Ally is more powerful for sure. I’ve compared both systems for gamss and the Ally outperforms it on every game I’ve tried. The screen looks amazing too. It is a windows so it will require a little on the users end to get it updated and such. A lot of bad revoews are coming from console users moving onto a windows system and its not user friendly. Im used to windows so setupand navigating was easy for me. 10/10 purchase for me

great product! i love the rgb lights behind the joysticks and it runs games great! however, the battery life is pretty low so i have to play games with it plugged up to the charger.

I mainly use this for work on my lunch break or if I am at home with the kids and don’t have the luxury to enjoy myself at my desk on my actual gaming computer. It’s very convenient for traveling or for Just on the go use. The only drawback I have is the battery life went running at 25 Watts. It’s not that long but you do get decent time out of it when running some of the older games that only require 10 W or less the battery life is very impressive. I have a steam deck and a Lenovo legion go. I would definitely put this at the front of the three.

Love the Conveneice of playing anywhere around the house I want.Pretty much use this to play with my son,so for me it serves its purpose.Works excellent and the screen looks amazing.

Bought the rog ally to be able to game on the go and i couldn't ve more happy. I'm a few weeks in and so far zero complaints. It is literally a handheld pc with wondows 11 on it. It is technically my first gaming pc as I have always been a console user so if the idea of switching to pc scares you don't let it stop you if your on the fence. Some of the triple A games i have run are beyond the ps4's capability and almost on par woth the ps5 and its a handheld! The obly down side is battery will drain fast when playing demanding games but if you buy a 65w battery pack you can extend playtime quite a bit. Overall 9/10

I love this hand held gaming device. I can play my games remotely. I have a portal as well but the online multiplayer was choppy using my PlayStation portal. I didn’t have that effect with the rog ally. I would recommend this product . It also is like a hand held computer allowing me to install apps and watch videos.

This thing is a beast. The only downfall is of course the battery life. But it was designed to be used while plugged in. The right settings will net you 2 to 3 hours of play time on one charge. Or you can pick up a power bank.. this thing will run any game thrown at it, ps5,steam,xbox. Overall, myself being an xbox user,this makes it easy to travel to and from work and the ability of remote play means i do not have to lug my series x with me every where 2 times a month when i fly to and from work. Must buy.

Preordered this after many weeks of debsting between this and the steam deck. Definitely glad i went with this option as it was totally worth it. Plays every gamr ive thrown at it just fine. Yes Windows 11 isnt exwftly designed for something like this so thr UI can be irritating but what rlse do you do? The battery life is mediocre but honestly this is a handheld gaming pc…you cant have Nintendo Switch battery life with a device this powerful and versatile. If you dont have a handheld pc and want one get this over the steam deck. If you have a handheld pc already such as the steam deck there isnt a reason to get this unless you just want to.

At its price point it can play most PC game good at 1080p. But even when the frames dropped it wasn't a bad experience because there was no screen tearing or skipping. AMD did a good job with this one.

The hardware is great but the software still needs some work. There are a lot of shortcuts that help deal with the fact that Windows isn't fully ready for a device like this. Armory Crate is better than I thought it would be but it's annoying that you can't see your entire game library. Software jank aside, once you're playing games this thing is amazing. Great performance, a great screen, and the Ally stays fairly quiet. Hopefully future software updates will improve the out of game experience.

The ROG ALLY stands out as an excellent handheld device for gaming. While I don't game on PC frequently, I thoroughly enjoy playing on my Xbox, and the ROG ALLY complements my gaming experience, especially with access to all the games in the Xbox Game Pass library. Its performance at this price point is remarkable, offering a satisfying gaming experience. The only drawback I've encountered with the ROG ALLY is its battery life, which could be improved to enhance the overall gaming sessions..

Good for on the go gaming battry cuoukd be better but overall i enjoy it

I really enjoy the handheld, can game anywhere feel. The screen looks nice and crisp. And so far everything plays smoothly

Fantastic system, with so much support from the vendor and the community. Fast processing and impressive graphics most emulation use. Innovative software from Asus to turn from gamepad controls to mouse controls. Battery life sucks basically 1.5 to 2 hours. There are loads of weeks to get the system to run even faster along with front ends for game collections. Some issues. 1. Sleep mode fails often so I have to power off and on again 2. Have contact issues with the display not outputting to the TV or showing on both the TV and the main screen. Needs more control of windows in docked mode limited so you have to have a keyboard and mouse

This thing is great, i dont get alot of gaming time and needed something to be ultra portable and allow me to play my games, thus fit the bill perfectly and runs everything. But then, i bought a dock and started using it as my everyday desktop. While its not as powerful as the laptop its replacing its powerful enough to play all the games i want and br s dedicated pc. So. I sold my laptop and now i have an ultra portable pc/ gaming rig i can take anywhere and play what i want.

The ALLY runs windows which means you will run into a lot of finicky stuff with the OS. Sometimes the controllers work, sometimes you have to get them to work. Runs games well and has a pretty good screen. Personally, extremely uncomfortable to hold in my hands and has very poor battery life.
