Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is amazing, I am able to play all my games on steam and on 1080p and everything looked crisp. I have the steamdeck but since steamdeck can only do 800p things look grainy so the ROG ally just looks better and is more powerful I love it!! The only drawback is the ergonomics are not as comfortable as the steamdeck and the battery.

This is a amazing product. I was able to use it right away simple to ugrade m.2 drive. Asus makes it easy once u have the latest bios up date done to down load the os image from the cloud right from there bios interface. Plays games it works for me the controller and everything. It runs very cool right out of box. Does not get hot. Diablo 4 runs amazing at about 60 fps at med seating for me. Has steam and xbox installed right off the bat.

This handheld is awesome l, my inly complaints are the dead zones in the joy sticks thay took some tweaking to get right and the storage is really low, other than that it can play all aaa games in medium settings, this console shines with older games lkne cod zombies black ops 2 or 3 runs those games max settings smooth.

Had my doubts based on reviews and the Lenovo Legion Go dropping but definitely glad I went with the Rog Ally. I love the screen size and rarely ever play handhelds with the controllers detached. Battery life could use improvement but its to be expected with a device like this running all these programs. 512Ggb isnt really enough to do much with. Consider an SSD upgrade to 1TB minimum.

Its a great handheld . It performs well for majority of games i have tested but only flaws ill mention is the the thumbsticks , Feels like back in the old days of the ps3 controller very loose no tension on the sticks and also battery life not the best almost 1 hour but overall great handheld for those who have the money for it

Decently powerful system, plays any of my games. Battery life isn’t great.

Compact and powerful enough for lots a good games, great option if you travel or need it on the go… just don’t expect it to be a full blown gaming pc, it does have its limitations, especially batery life if you push it to turbo mode.

Right now this is the most powerful windows gaming handheld on the market and can handle most AAA games with no problem. The battery life is pretty bad, if you are running turbo mode, you can see your battery % decrease by the second. You have to put in some work to get the things working but this is definitely worth it. Wish the internal storage was larger but from youtube videos, it looks like its pretty easy to upgrade yourself.

Love this thing. If you know how to operare a gaming PC you should have no problem enjoying this device. Don't expect this to be as simple and user friendly as something like the Nintendo Switch. It's full Windows, so expect a good bit of setup and occasional troubleshooting. Plenty of power for its size. You'll probably want more storage. Thankfully it's simple to expand.

Picked this up June 21st and I'm loving it so far. Plays most games in my Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox libraries. Even newer AAA games that advertise requiring 32 gigs of RAM like Forspoken are able to be run at low settings for an enjoyable experience. Haven't tried emulation, but I'm told it handles PS3 and Switch emulation with ease. Great buy, frees up the TV screen so i can play my Game Pass games while my wife watches her shows.

This is the perfect machine for Game Pass on the go! I've been using it on each of my frequent 6-hour flights, and it's been a breeze to use. Battery life is on the short side, so I got a chunky power bank to almost triple it when I cannot plug it. Also, keep in mind that this is a Windows machine, so the first setup is a bit cumbersome with a small screen and no mouse, but you'll only experience it once, hopefully!

Don’t recommend the official case since it won’t fit the charger with it. Abut great finds on Amazon. Also battery life is very low for high spec games. Great performance on high battery or plugged in but may be slow for really graphic titles. Great community support for game optimization.

[Employee of bestbuy] Great device for normal gaming but for fps gaming isn’t great on it overall experience is great for travel and its very versatile to hook to a monitor and keyboard and mouse or controller I would say it’s worth it if you don’t mind the lower settings for fps gaming and if you don’t want to carry a heavy laptop.

Coming from a Steam Deck, there are some pros and cons. Pros- Plays almost anything Fast and powerful Cons- Software needs work Battery should have been bigger I would recommend this but know that you will have to do a little work to make everything work well. If you want a console like experience, steam deck is your best bet.

Excellent piece of hardware! Some of the pro's about this device are it's form factor, portability, and the accessibility of it (it runs Windows, and therefore most games via whatever launcher/DRM is required is no problem, unlike other popular handheld gaming solutions). It's incredible how fast it charges with the included charger. Cons... Amusingly, also that it runs Windows. The core experience with Windows isn't well suited for smaller screens and no keyboard such as this device. This is easily mitigated by 90% of my time spent via either Steam or Launch Box launchers, and rumor has it Microsoft is working on a software solution as well. And of course there's always windows updates to have to install! In the nearly month that I've had it, I have been able to game more frequently than before, because of its portability. I picked up a couple accessories to help with that, including a large backup battery that supports 30 watt output so I can game with maximum performance even on the road. On the note of accessories, it is trivially simple, and supported by the manufacturer, to upgrade the hard drive. As a new device, accessory selection is pretty limited at the moment, but in the next few weeks hard shell cases, skins, and other replacements such as joysticks are due to be released. The 3D printing community has also created some interesting solutions such as customized back paddles, port covers, and stands. Bottom line, despite the price, I would highly recommend this device to anybody who is generally too busy to game, but misses it.

Have had this for a few months now and I am in love! Of course there are some bugs here and there but overall performance is amazing! Love having the windows experience at my fingertips. It was great on several trips I took so far. I bought a couple external battery’s and I ah e been good to go for hours! Would definitely recommend!!!

So I have had a steam deck since release, I haven’t wanted to touch it since this came out, it’s more comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions, the screen is way nicer, the quality can be left higher in most games, and the end result looks and plays at higher fps than my steam deck in almost everything, add to that it runs full windows so any non Linux comparable steam deck game is much easier to deal with.

As an owner of both the Steam deck and ROG Ally, they both have a perfect fit in my daily gaming needs. the 1080p screen with 120 Hz is perfect on the ROG. Call of duty runs really well and looks fantastic. It stays cool due to the two fans which I wish the steam deck had. I don’t like the back buttons on the ROG as much as I do the deck. Overall perfect for the price and it’s very comfortable in the hands.

You need to know your way around a PC, this is exactly what it is. I haven’t had any issues with mine so far. This is by far the best handheld PC I’ve ever owned! FAR superior to steam deck, in my opinion. The screen and resolution is superb d/t high PPI. Even in 720p with RSR on the games look gorgeous! The 120hz and Freesync is a game changer. FYI: if you disable 120hz in armory crate then you automatically disable Freesync.
