Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not a fan of this device at all it has windows 11 on there so if your not familiar with it and all its little issues that go along with it then this is not for you. Tinkering is a must to get most games to a playable state, which is fine but if your coming from console “this is not plug and play” like say a steam deck and or Nintendo switch. Battery life is terrible plan on purchasing a power bank and or be somewhere that has an outlet. SD card reader is a common problem with this item, this can be remedied by installing a ssd inside the unit and or using adapters on the outside of the unit which in turn will work also. Choice is yours when it comes to purchasing this device personally I wish I would have returned it during the 15 day warranty that Best Buy offers, but now I’m stuck with it going to put it up on eBay or marketplace to get some money back from my investment. More power to those people who swear by this device that’s cool just realized it’s not for me and that’s fine also

Device is amazing worked as expected. The SD reader died but that is now a know flaw from the manufacturer. Sent it in to Asus and it was repaired.

Good performance, great screen. Runs silent. However, since the screen is 1080p I seem to get similar performance to the SteamDeck @ 800p.

Great device but certain features like microSD card port does not work

Amazing. Only downside is the battery life, but its great for playing games around the house snd not being tied down to a desk or TV. Would recommend 100 out of 100 times.

Im a very dedicated gamer, i dont compete but its what i love to do. My primary gaming PC is very nice, 20 core CPU (hyperthreaded), 3080, liquid cooled, flashy lights everywhere. This isnt quite as nice as that. But for the price you pay its astonishing how much preformance it puts out. I actually bought this for my daughters christmas gift but of course i opened it and preinstalled all the windows updates and got her games ready. I tested several out and they run very, very well. Can i say in the longrun how good the battery life is, or if the joy sticks drift, no. But if it runs even remotely as id expect it to over time its an excellent baragin for the price.

Very convenient for gaming, has good graphics. Doubles as being able to use for PC related things (word, excel, school). More portable than a traditional laptop.

For Game Pass Ultimate Subscribers, Emulator Junkies, and overall PC gaming geeks! There’s something here for every type of gamer! A must buy IMO. Windows 11 is sometimes a pain (be sire to keep it updated); but overall, its a known interface for many.

This little handheld is super powerful. Plays any triple A game at great frame rates. Battery is not that great but i carry a battery pack with me so not to big of a deal breaker i would recommend this to a friend.

This is an amazing product. If you are a PC gamer that wants to play anywhere I highly recommend this product. Where the Steam Deck excels the ROG ALLY goes further. Having Windows is both a negative and a positive. Being able to play all your PC games from any launcher is fantastic. ASUS onboard controls and settings are quite accessible and gives you a ton of control on your handheld experience. Battery life sucks we all know it but there enough accessories in the world to overcome this issue.

What a great piece of tech! I've never been much of a PC gamer, but this has swayed me. I've been playing games on it I've intended to play for years across Steam, Game Pass, and the Epic Game Store. And I even discovered I could use it for ultra-portable full-PC work in a pinch. (For me, the question is always, "Can it write?" And the Ally certainly can.) I know some people don't like the fact it has full Windows, but this is a big plus in my case. I wasn't certain I would actually use the Ally, but thus far I've been using it every day and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it.

The screen is awesome, comfortable to hold for long periods of play. The battery life is a joke, but it's great for short play sessions during my lunch break.

Has been an amazing unit so far beside the SD card reader it has burnt up my card in a day but doesn’t affect anything else and it still works just make sure you do not use it until asus figures out what’s wrong

Plays all my steam games xbox game pass and blizzard games runs them great and smooth ,only draw back is the battery life but its expected with the specs!

I have had this product for a few week's now and i use itnalmost daily. I did a lotnof research on handhelds before finally buying this one. This product is definitely the best. My only complaint is battery life. You can only use the cord it comes with to charge. My other cords that fit will not charge this device. Im not sure if the adapter makes it so all chargers work but overall im satisfied with this device just wish the battery was better.

My ally is alright. Battery could be better, but overall performance is really good.

Runs most of my games with ease. Definitely worth the pick up

Amazing handheld gaming pc! This definitely exceeded my expectations and the software it comes with is very polished and optimized. I love all the overlays that are implemented so it makes using the device easier. Armory crate is a must and makes the whole experience feel very console like. The fact that it’s also windows 11 makes it possible to mod games and achieve everything your desktop can do. In my experience 512gb of storage is enough I already own a desktop and I usually play one single player story game at once so 512 is plenty. I’m currently playing atomic heart and always get over 60fps on medium to high settings at 1080p. I’d definitely recommend this it’s awesome to be able to bring your pc everywhere you go

The best handheld I ever had. It can game pretty much any game the PC and etc...

The main thing I believe everyone gets wrong when they buy is that they think it's a switch. Wrong it is basically a very small gaming laptop that if you want to have the best performance you need to keep it plugged in. but for everything else it is easy to set up and plays everything I have thrown at it. I would warn you though make sure you play games that are more for controllers than keyboard and mouse because you can connect them you just have to have a Bluetooth version of them. Lastly, you can play it on battery just note it will drain very fast maybe will last 2 hrs
