Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good portable for gaming I think this is the best portable gaming solution on the market right now. Excellent build quality. I tested several games and everything is fine. There was one problem that the back button creaks sometimes. But other than that I highly recommend

Great device, plays my games smoothly most of the time and it looks great! There are some quirks navigating windows 11 on the small screen and the sound seems to crackle for no apparent reason. The battery life is okay, but you need to bump the settings down to keep the fans from being loud and to stretch the gameplay time. I'm happy with it, but it is not perfect.

Spent a lot of time and research into this decision and held off from a review for the first couple months after the purchase. This is an excellent device and brings a lot to the table for starts. I am an avid pc builder and have built close to 10 high end pcs for either myself, friends and relatives. I own game consoles like the xbox series x on top of that for a more casual set up. So experience laid out, ive done and seen a lot. The Rog ally is no slouch, Asus has done alot since the launch of the device and product support seems strong. Repair-ability is also strong. Easy to change things internally and for the most part those changes dont void your warranty. The device itself is a strong preformer on any title i have thrown at it. For reference getting triple digits in fps on games like fortnite, cod mw2, tiny tinas wonderland and more. I did do some things to debloat windows for preformance gain and have set the vram allocation to 6gbs across the board. This thing is SNAPPY, very speedy when it comes to maneuvering the windows interface. The cpu in this thing is a monster, amazing how so much is packed into such a form factor. And it shows itself when it comes to gaming. It has tons of cool features built in and really makes it a whole experience, never feeling like too much of a drag away from an actual desktop. I havent used my pc in about a month since ive truly converted to main use being this. I can play xbox games via console stream with hardly any difference from my console while on the move. Same for pc, you can stream your pc via steam to the device and control it. The ability of this thing improves almost weekly and Im gonna be the first to say it, i think this is an impressive direction for gaming. I highly recommend the device.

So convenient to use, and super portable. Some games require some tinkering to maximize quality, and I do recommend playing with it plugged into the charger, for better battery life and quality. I got this along with Elden ring, and it runs fantastically. As someone who travels for work, sometimes you just want to lay down at the end of the day and get comfortable, and this is the perfect device. I would also advise you to purchase more storage separately.

Very good for when you are on the go or just want to sit on the couch to play your PC games. I would not personally aim for high GB games, because you will run out of space so quickly. Singleplayer games shine here. Dead By Daylight is my main game, and it runs amazingly.

There is always room for improvement, so I want to be clear that software is not 100% perfect. Armory crate can be buggy and running windows on a small touch screen poses some extra difficulties without a keyboard. Initial setup was confusing since I did not setup an additional keyboard which is needed to create a virtual keyboard to access the wifi which is required on windows 11. Excellent screen, nice controls, very quiet, and it is compatible with windows games!

Is this device perfect? No. Is it better than its competitors? Yes. I sold my Deck a week after buying this and I have to say, while it can be frustrating at times, the hassle is worth it to have full Windows on a gaming handheld. When this thing works well, it is a game changer no pun intended. The screen and ability to play true AAA games on the go is reason enough to buy. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that is more tech savvy and looking for a gaming device!

Powerful but it doesn’t have good battery life. Love the system but the battery life is a total fun killer.

The ROG ally is the perfect middle ground between the Steamdeck and the Legion Go. The 120hz screen makes playing PC games a joy, the size is great for easy travel, the hall joysticks are very nice and produce almost zero drift. The main thing missing is a track pad. Navigating windows is a bit of a pain but ROG has their own software overlay that uses maining the control pad.

Works great and is portable cant complain! Wish it had better battery but its totaly fine!

The ROG Ally is a great on the go gaming system for those who dont have a gaming laptop. This console is fully supported Windows 11 PC and I can install other gaming apps on here. I was able to install Final Fantasy 14 and play it on the ROG Ally with no issues. I did upgrade the SSD on it to get more storage space.

I got it so I could play games when I'm away from my main desktop computer. I have a laptop PC I use for non-gaming stuff when away from the desktop, I have a main desktop PC I use for everything, and I use this ROG Ally for games when I'm away from my desktop PC. What can I say? The ROG Ally is awesome. It uses Windows which is the best thing ever. Having Windows means I can play millions of games I can't on any other device. I can play DOS games all the way up to today's games. That's 40+ years of games. I can use the controller in the ROG Ally for DOS games. I can set-up the controller to use for any game. I can use the thumb stick for mouse driven games if I wanted to play any. It's not as good compared to an actual mouse, but all you do is move a cursor around with a thumb stick, it's easy peasy. It's not rocket science. The software that comes with it is easy to use. Windows itself is easy to use. Windows has been around for almost 40 years now. Everyone should know how to use it. The Armour Crate it comes with it also easy to use. It's really great how it put all your games into one place so you can easily start them up. On a bonus plus side, this can also be used for anything, from Photoshop to video editing to anything else. It's not as powerful as a desktop PC can be, but if I ever wanted to use it as desktop PC, I could easily do that. I just plug it into a monitor and add a keyboard and mouse. All of a sudden I have a pretty competent and powerful PC I can use for anything. I didn't buy it for that, but I have that option if I ever wanted to. It's like a small portable PC I can use for literally anything. Really cool device. I'm super happy with it. Experience has been awesome. Windows is the best. Armory Crate is the best. Hardware is top quality. Performance is awesome.

One of the best Gaming Devices I owned, i have been away from gaming for couple years now despite owning very high spec PCs and laptops, but life and work is keeping me busy. With the Asus Ally i was able to get back on gaming easily and on the spot, very nice display( wish it was Oled tho) and overall nice controls. I really like that it's using windows too, as i can access my OneDrive files and do quick updates here and there anytime i need to, it's my mini PC.

I love this thing. It was a little rough setting it up and updating it. Once that was done this thing runs everything very well, and quietly. Battery life isn't the best when running AAA games but still a few hours. A nice battery Pack the give 65W really helps.

The best purchase i've ever made. Solid 1080p 60fps dedicated gaming, Driver Support is awesome and the only gripes i have is the speaker could be better and the battery life is trash however it is a handheld PC so you'd need a 65w portable charger. The only thing i'd suggest over this is the Legion if you really want Joy Cons,

Works great! Its compact and mobile. Runs every game i could want and also has the versatility of a desktop pc!

I could not wait for this item to release. I have an ROG gaming laptop that I absolutely love and have never regretted purchasing. When this was announced I knew I would purchase on day one. The first couple of weeks were great and I loved playing Xbox game pass games as well as PC version of games like Overwatch and League of Legends. As time went on update after update I noticed that things were starting to get a little laggy. It got so bad at one point that I ended up having to factory reset the whole unit to see if starting from scratch would bring back my joy. The unit performed very well overall but over time starting again to lag on certain things. I was never able to achieve close to 120hz frame rate on games. Sound is absolutely incredible. I think this item was a little premature or still has some time to work out the bugs. The concept of it is great and I hope Asus continues to improve this category as I am a big fan. I ended up returning it in the long run due to the issues I faced and that in order to make this perform I would need to add more and more money to it to get anywhere close to my gaming laptop. I would recommend it you don’t have a gaming laptop already and are wanting something that is truly portable.

I have a steam deck and i can easily say that the performance of the ally is amazing, while the battery life isnt as good as the steam deck, i still find myself taking my ally over my steam deck when going on a lengthy trip, and if you have the ally pluged in or docked the performance is far greater than i expected initially especially in 1080p, definitely a good buy.

for $50 more than the top spec steam deck, you're getting so much hardware for your money. a much better screen, higher resolution, higher refresh rate, double the CPU cores, more and newer GPU cores - all this amounts to about 50% more performance when compared to the steam deck. @720p, this thing will get 65-70fps compared to steam deck's 40fps in red dead redemption 2, and 45fps @1080p. if own a steam deck and always wanted more power, this thing is for you!

Excellent fo factor , excellent for the tinkerer because if something goes wrong u guys buy parts super easy to replace . It runs pretty much all games fairly well . A very very sturdy device . It's the closest thing to steam deck just windows .
