Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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 compact but yet powerful machine. can pretty much run any game you throw at it. Battery life is not the best so expect about ~1 hour of gameplay.

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.

This thing is great. Bought to replace steam deck and it does not disappoint! Runs triple A games at 50-60++ fps. Very easy to use and feels great in my hands. Highly recommend for the mobile gamer!

Its a great console and it has access to so many more games because of its access to steam, epic games, ect.

It is a very powerful and fun consle to play on in bed and on the go. The only problom is thr battery life

I only play a few PC games. I hate desktops and i didnt want to buy a new laptop for gaming. I decided to give the ROG a chance. It has played every game i like perfectly. Having my games portable was a great option.

Got it open box. Great condition. Only giving it four stars based on the actual software. But you know what you’re getting with a windows device not truly made for mobile gaming. Lots of tinkering when you just wanna plop down and game at the most opportune moments when you don’t have much time. Aside from that you have access to all launchers as well as game pass, big time pluses to not be locked into the Steam store always.

Very great handheld, when you’re connected, it turns into a beast

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.

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.

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.

I mainly got this device to play my back catalog of games I own. This device will play any game I throw at it just fine. If not than I can stream it easily from my PC but I've yet to have the need for that. I get home from work and the last thing I wanna do is sit at my desk so this was the next best option. I was gonna go with the steam deck but my main catalog of games are spread through Steam and Epic. I don't wanna hassle with anything on Linux so Windows based handheld is the choice for me. It was a really close close close call for this or a steam deck.

I have a steam deck and this. This blows the steam deck out the water. Only thing is battery life is terrible. But shocked how well this runs

Very powerful handheld I had an easy process setting it up idk if it’s just my unit but everything just works seamlessly and smooth. Worth every penny it’s playing games my steam deck couldn’t play.

It Runs Games Amazingly, but it Overheated and ruined my 1tb Micro SD and the Battery is really bad without a battery Bank on Demanding Games

Excellent system!! Used all the way until the Xbox ally came out, not a single problem with it. Audio quality is pretty amazing as well.

ROG Ally is the best handheld I ever used. The screen is so crystal clear and games look amazing on it. You can play all your games on it and this is why I got the Ally over the Steam Deck.

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.
