Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am loving having the Ally. It has a very powerful performance with its different TDP profiles. The face buttons feel mushy in a good but the sticks feel kinda loose which I don't like but I haven't had any dead zone with the sticks. the D-Pad feels really good and works well with 2D games and works well for fighting games. the triggers feel excellent and the RB and LB buttons feel better than the steam decks. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because of the software. Asus does a great job with it but Windows just doesn't feel like it was meant for a handheld but here is where the fun can come in. Because its windows there are so many things you can do to fine-tune the experience. From fine-tuning the TDP with manual mode to setting up controls for games you wanna play in armory crate is awesome. If you are someone who loves to mess with settings and discover things pick this up today!

I was actually surprised how well this runs games, I have played pretty straining games and it runs great. Speakers are good quality and can get loud. Doesnt get too hot while playing and the fans are quiet. Screen is very vibrant. All around great product.

Light, portable, good looking with a built in finger print reader and excellent screen. However, the well known Micro SD overheating issue along with my unit frequently freezing made me return mine.

Bought this as a gift. It’s great as long as you keep in mind that this is a tablet with a controller strapped to it. Runs games well but battery life is short off of charge.

This is my absolute favorite new tech gaming device. I have a PS5 and have not been able to play PC games for years due to having a family. This device now allows me to play both PC titles *and console titles...and being able to do it all MOBILE? I mean, come on. This thing is a powerhouse gaming PC that I can dock to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard anytime I want to use it as a PC or to more easily download or configure it. But when it comes to gaming, hand-held all the way! I really do love this thing. Only BIG advice to any prospective owner is download the software called 'StarAllBack' to change the terrible Windows 11 interfaces back to Windows 10 styling. Besides that? This thing is 10X worth its wait in gold! As far as accessories: Yes, I do think you should purchase a larger HDD to fit more games. Get yourself a 2TB HDD. There's more and more cases as well, which I do also recommend. Also recommend getting a 'dock' so you can use it as a desktop PC or plug into your TV more easily.

I really wanted to like the Ally. The plus side of being a Windows device and easily installing games is nice. Clean layout, Great screen, … a lot of nice features! The problems come in with battery life and stability though. I experienced several crashes on Steam games and once where a restart was required to resolve the in-game crash. Battery really feels undersized for this device too. I think what made me return it in the end was the D-pad. I like to play some games that require it and it has a poor placement ergonomically speaking and the tactile feel is subpar for the D-pad. I really liked the device overall but given how much it costs, I would say this device needs another iteration or two before they get my money.

Plays great. Way, WAY more power thans Steam Deck. Battery life is poor but no worse than Deck in reality. Being able to use Game Pass, Epic, and other stores without any hoops is a great feature. All-in-all a great device especially for the money.

pretty good. not the best battery life but good quality.

Gamer of 35 years here, and former gaming PC seller of 8 years. Easily one of the best handhelds out there, and I've compared them all. Depending on the model you are looking at (the X is the go to if you want the best), for the price points here you're just going to have the overall best gaming handheld you can get. Now with all the OS/BIOS updates being smoothed out, it runs like a dream and if you know how to navigate Win11, you're going to be just fine. The docking potential is amazing but in handheld mode, the 1080p 120hz is just untouchable. Speakers are incredible, it's comfy, light, and you can customize the entire control scheme and switch it on the fly.

Just got my hands on the ROG Ally and it absolutely rips through AAA games at 120Hz—on a handheld! The Ryzen Z1 Extreme makes this feel more like a pocket-sized gaming PC than a console. If the Steam Deck had a big brother with Windows and better graphics, this would be it.

I absolutely love my ROG Ally. I have ot and a steamdeck but i find myself going to my ally every singe time i go to play something at work or on the go. I carry both with me but the ally just looks and plays games so much better not to mention it does everything any other pc could do. It really is a pocket pc running on windows 11

Great device! The only downside is being 512 gb Runs all the aaa games and good fps

Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

The device definitely has some heating issues and sometimes has some performance problems, but with a few updates everything got fixed and the device works great

This thing is great. It plays most every game real well, it feels really comfortable in your hands, I've been extremely happy with it. Biggest downside is the battery. Playing it on the max settings, you might be lucky to get 90 minutes on the battery. Much more on the lower operation modes, but be prepared to charge.

The was the best purchase I could make. I can take my gaming on the go as well as my work. The games are smooth and there are plenty of options. Windows works as well as my PC so I can literally take this anywhere.

This is not a handheld gaming device. This is a powerful handheld device that plays games. With Windows 11 and Office 365 cloud sync, I leave my laptop on my desk grab this and I can work then game, game then work u get the picture. I work in IT security and use both Mac and Windows along with my tools these laptops makes my bag very heavy then the power brick for the gaming laptop easily over 25lbs. I grabbed this my backpack feels like air now. If you are a bit on the Geek Squad of things. (Shameless plug lol) I have a Doc that allows full 30 honestly this can take over as a daily driver. I render a video faster on the Ally than my Mac Book Pro. Crazy!!!

I been reading reviews with many getting flustered over setup, however this is legit the easiest setup you can ask for. The drivers, software, and information is all laid out for you and they even preinstalled Steam! You can download EPIC, Ubisoft, and EA if you so desire and start downloading and playing your games. For those looking to play retro games then check out Launchbox. The ergonomics and weight completly destroy the chunky boy that is the Steam Deck. The screen is unbelievable, I seriously cant understand how Valve got away with putting such a low quality display in the Steam Deck. Buttons are legit perfection and quiet for late night gaming. SSD is super replaceable and I put a 2TB in this!!! I feel like valve fanboys are reviewing this…

Despite the sd card issue, the device runs great and is extremely fun. Got me back into gaming. Easy to use and portable even for its size. Have a 2 yr old and gaming has been hard but this has allowed me to game with the little time available. Recommend

I love it! I bought it so I could take my sims with me without having to pack up my MSI laptop or my MacBook. This thing is amazing, just like a gaming computer but with the speed of my Apple products. Best of both worlds.
