Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is such an amazing performer. So much better than the other options out there for quick on-the-go gaming and that is without compromise. I think if I were to travel for business I would take this for use on the plane, and as my personal device. I usually take 2 laptops with me but not anymore.

The ASUS ROG ALLY is quite literally the best bang for your buck handheld, by far. I picked up a 2TB m.2 to swap the original 512GB and was quite impressed at how simple and straightforward the installation of the drive was. Alao, the reinstallation of the operating system was very simple and straightforward as well. Man, I primarily use it for retro gaming but works well with my XBOX Game pass. I can't stop talking about this device. I highly recommend this to anyone.

For anyone that keeps asking it’s a handheld pc, yes it can connect to a monitor you just need the docking station. The speed is ridiculously fast and the graphics is amazing like only handheld that has a 1080p not even the steam deck. I play it every where on my break at home road-trips on the plane

It’sa better machine when you install bazzite and turn it into a stream only machine. Better performance and battery life. And I’m buying this ROG Ally Z1 extreme for *$469!!!!! B-)

Pre-ordered mine, but unfortunately I've had to return it. My device was faulty- didn't read memory cards correctly, was overheating and battery life is a joke. Screen is great, general quality is ok. Bestbuy manager was not very nice. Didn't want to return money for faulty device, after a while of unpleasant talk offer store credit... - that why my rating is lower.

Love this device. Plays all my pc games with great performance! The battery lasts about 1 hour when running Ultra settings and turbo mode so that might be the only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars. Otherwise just plug it in when you need to.

ASUS ROG Ally is definitely a contender for one of the best windows handhelds. It performs great and has an absolutely beautiful screen. Now windows just needs to optimize its platform for handheld gaming.

This rogue ally is a beast of a handheld console my first ever and I love it. I had a PS portal and it was completely trash and who wants to play games over Wi-Fi, rog I can take it with me to work on trips play games off-line. I love it graphics or amazing.

Love the product but the screen is too small for most of the games I want to play on it. I ended up returning it for that reason. I did need to adjust the power settings because I was having issues with Spiderman occasionaly freezing for about a minute. I would definitely only get the Z1 Extreme version, the extra cost is worth it. Buy open box if you can, I have it from a good source that nearly all the open box options for this item are in near perfect condition because they are customer returns mostly because of the customer not knowing how to adjust the power settings to fix the freezing problem.

It is a fantastic device. Runs any game I’ve thrown at it, including some that had difficulty running on Steam Deck. The SD card issue has hit me, unfortunately…but I expect that to get ironed out.

Plays any game that windows can play which puts it ahead of the Steam Deck. Battery life could be better and a few bugs which most new devices will encounter. Portable entertainment device for the avid gamer and a full windows experience.

Very fast and games play very well. Took me a long time to get used to the fact I'm holding a PC in my hands but loving it. There's a lot of little things that the device does not tell you so I do recommend watching "## beginner tips for rog ally" videos. The reason it isn't a 5 is because of two things: storage space and battery life. 512 GB is incredibly small for this device. The way games are going now you can't even fit to COD Warzones in the device. Battery life is also very short. I usually get around 3 hours of game time using the middle options of power usage I couldn't imagine using the higher settings.

It’s fun and runs things surprisingly well when plugged into power on handheld it struggles when not in turbo mode but that does drain the battery pretty quickly. I did get it open box and had no problems at all it does everything I want it to do

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.

Excellent unit, pretty powerful once optimized (1080p not needed for this screen size). Gotta love the RGB too!

The idea is really cool was hoping for alot sense it had AMD iGPU. Was a little disappointed. When ever I tried to use it it froze because of windows and memory issue i’m guessing. And the one demo I wanted to play in it kept crashing FF11 benchmark (that can run on a potato) and every time i ran it on high kept getting directX 3d crash. Installed direct X make it work on low setting not high. I think it needs a switch to make it use the controller as just a controller when your gaming as well. Still hoping for my handheld PC. I feel like its the netpicky market your going to sell this too and it’s just not there yet.

I love my Ally, however, the issues with the SD card slot took a star away. The slot is right beneath one of the heat sinks and got fried, im pretty sure my slot is non functional as it keeps running into disk read errors on steam. Thankfully the SD card itself seems okay. I will just have to upgrade the on board SSD to a 2TB model. The second star was taken away because the battery life is lacking, however the form factor is easy to take anywhere and the charger is portable. Hopefully theyll release a battery upgrade kit which I would be happy to purchase. All in all solid handheld PC. Hope they release parts cause this thing seems super repairable.

Powerful, compact, and large enough to play Retro, PC, and Emulators comfortably. The ally balanced the Power and Price, yes you can get a slightly faster machine for way more or a slow 720p for less. This hit the sweet spot.

Really happy with it so far. It’s really not as hard to use as some people say and so far has played the AAA games I’ve tried to play very well. Battery life is my only real issue, I’ve been playing persona 3 reload and it lasts for about 1.15 hours.

This console is impressive. It feels like a really next gen console with a lot of power! I can also say it’s a gaming laptop replacement. Asus just needs to make a better dock and more accessories. A lot of power + Portability + Game Pass + PS Now + Steam + a lot more!
