Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect for gaming on the go! You can play your games just like you would on a home PC but in a car or at a friends house.

I bought this “open box excellent” and it didnt work out of the box. Was stuck with the log in screen despite all the trouble shooting I did. Exchanged it for another one which ended up needing servicing 15 days in (so was unable to return or exchange). Got it working fine now. Its a bit of a finnicky device, but its able to play games well and can do a lot. Battery life is short so dont expect long sessions.

Really good handheld. Has been able to handle any game ive tried so far. My only complaint is that the sd card reader wont read my sd card.

Very nice handheld laptop. A few kinks I think they resolved with early bios updates. Battery life and overheating can be an issue if misused.

I was able to get this on sale for $599. So far it has worked flawlessly and received a number of updates to improve its operation. Highly recommend its use for Steam Big Picture Mode, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Moonlight, Chiaki (PlayStation streaming) and Retro Gaming. With a dock it can easily be a solid desktop computer with similar specs to what you could get in a gaming desktop of similar price but you also get the option for portability or couch/bed play time.

Great device! Having already owned the steam deck, I was curious if this was any better, and it definitely is in ways that are important to ME. The handheld experience is similar to the steam deck with the exception being the ally has higher frame rates in certain titles. Where this device really shines for me is in docked mode, I was planning to build a second PC for my wife or when I have a friend come over, but I was curious about this device being able to fill that role. It blew my expectations out of the water! COD, Valorant, Valheim all play extremely well. My friend came over recently and we played rust for 5-6 hrs and it performed like a champ. I am very happy with this purchase.

Really enjoy this handheld! Of course it cant play everything out there but being able to play assassins creed shadow, space marines 2, should be enough to say how much it can handle. Definitely reccomend this for anyone wondering if its worth it

I've actually played with it more than my steamdeck, Aya neo and Aya neo air combined. Just the feel and comfort also with its lightweight nature and the ease of tdp controls, controller settings, brightness with the reach of my thumb is very convenient, making my gaming experience a whole lot easier. I started with the Aya Neo 2 years ago so my personal experience with the battery compared to Ally is very acceptable. We are still years away in having the technology for battery optimization. Ppl should stop complaining about battery life. It doesn't even get that hot, if anything my Aya neo and Aya neo air runs a lot hotter and the heat dissipation is actually not bad. Please read manual before use.

This is literally a portable pc in your hands!! It’s super fast and there absolutely no lag while you are playing your games!! 10/10 recommend

The ASUS software for the Ally is a bit buggy, but it gets the job done for the power it has. The iGPU is in the Z1 Extreme is about as powerful as a 1650-Mobile Max-Q. I'm waiting for the ROG Ally 2 to come out in late 2024, with supposedly 33% more compute units in the iGPU of the next APU. It'll be up to 50% more powerful than the current Ally and by then the ASUS software bugs should be mostly cleared out, hopefully.

Great platform. Set the standard for others. I'd definitely purchase again in the future. It runs a bit hot, but to be expected for first gen. Honestly it's worth the money.

Best handheld on the market hands down! Makes this a perfrct mobile pc replacement with a bunch of accessories available as well!! Cant wait for future handhelds!!

Great competition for any other handhelds out there. Great battery, great frame rate, great graphics!

Great product the only thing is the battery dies kind of quick while gaming. It could also have a little more storage.

Fun but gets hot sometimes from continuous playing. Battery life isn’t so great if playing high performance or turbo mode

So I did pick it up yesterday and it's a cool handheld. But it's not perfect I didn't expect it to be tho. Discord on it was acting funny yesterday and discord kept freezing saint row ran just ok it was definitely some frame drops on that and COD and the boxing too I figure it will get better tho. It will good for on the go tho. To me if definitely aint taking the place of my PC or PS5 now it might just take the place of my switch on the go tho its just more options with the ally . Having the ability to have a small docking station to carry with is ideal for me even tho they are out of stock at the moment hopefully they will be back in stock before I go on vacation I look forward to the up dates.

I really liked this. I actually sold my steam deck and bought this. The screen is much better, it looks cooler, and it is faster. Most importantly it runs Windows by default, which means I can run Fortnite and other games without jumping through hoops. Unfortunately, my SD card failed after about a month of use. This is a very commonly issue if you search and appears to be a design flaw. I am returning it until there is some resolution.

Performance is very solid and allows most games to be played at medium settings or better. The feel is quite sturdy and reliable. Very happy with this purchase.

Battery life is not blvery good, but device is powerful . It can play most triple A games at least 60fps.

I like the ASUS rog ally because it can play more of the games that I own than the Steam Deck. It's not the huge leap in oerformance over the Deck that i was hoping for, but its definitely better.
