Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a great concept and the system feels really nice but if you own a gaming laptop I think it's hard to justify ownership on this thing. It played Forza motorsport really well and control ran great. FPS will be tough on it due to stick length. When it's on sale I think it'll be a great pickup for any gamer. I liked the weight and feel much better than steam deck.

Good device and does what it's supposed to do. Knocked off a five star because best buy sent me a code that is invalid for game pass and I'm pretty upset about that.

It's a very good product it just had a few minor inconveniences. One being having to configure the controller scheme on every single game, you really have to fine tune it and mess with alot of buttons just for one game so when you go to another you have to configure it all again. It does save two profiles, gamepad and desktop but it seems like you can't even switch between each or it's really finicky. But besides that it has it's **** near as powerful as my desktop w/ DL speeds of almost 1g a second so very good there and the screen looks amazing. Also the joysticks and buttons feel great and are nice to use it's only the configuring I have a problem with.

Love this! My wife and I had been gaming on the Nintendo switch for about 2 years. Handhelds is our preference because it allows for us to game with our little one, and we can all sit together. Highly recommend the Rog Ally if you are interested in handheld gaming. This is miles ahead of the switch, and with windows 11 we can play many more games. I have used the Ally for projects outside of gaming, and have had no issues. LinkedIn and Microsoft office both work wonderfully. Hope this helps anyone who is questioning this purchase.

Was very hard to use and set up, basically a handheld PC with good graphics, don't care for the touch screen typing only, seemed to run warm when updating. Overall was ok for what it offers

Very good device. Needs a better batttery. Powerful handheld, stunning display, versatile gaming on-the-go.

It's everything I was hoping it would be, lots of aftermarket stuff for it to, i bought a dock, a d brand case for it and it plays games great, the fan is a little noisy but all in all well worth the price i got it for. I paid $450

This thing is AWESOME! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Anything you can do on a PC you can do on here. Nice smooth 120hz screen. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a good handheld windows based gaming application this is it. I’ve been able to run triple A titles on it with no issues at all. The support from asus and the community to get games to run well and do other functions with it is just a google search away. I was able to play Forza Motorsport sport around 50fps on low to medium for 2 hours on a plane ride. It also has micro sd slot and you can take the back off and get more m.2 storage.

Amazing product for gaming on the go I suggest buying some spare memory for this product because you will use up the stock memory fast

Love this little monster! I was finding myself getting more and more into emulation, but I wanted to take my Steam experience away from the desk too. The couch, bed, you know, the Switch life, but PC master race style. Any of the negative talking points to the Ally are mostly subjective and speak to how the user intends to care for their tech. I purchased a dock for my TV that supports turbo 30w and extra I/O. All that flexibility, and I don't have to pack my "laptop bag" when I travel. Got it open-boxed at a great price. Win, win, win.

I will lead with my final appraisal of this device while it was working as that feels more fair than just the bad end result of my purchase. After several hours uninstalling, updating, tweeking, learning, and then finally gaming I loved the Ally. I pulled down a consistent 90+ fps in Diablo 4 with some of the settings maxed but most low or off. No heat issues, no lag, no stutter. Ran well and is more than acceptable for a portable PC gaming experience. Marauders would always crash after a few seconds in the menus, Rocket League played well with no issues, Hell Let Loose seemed serviceable and looked fine to me with no crazy FPS dips or tearing. All in all the devoce is more than a solid portable gmaing option. At the price point and with the AMD eGPU total cost gets up to a gaming laptops. Whether a laptop is a better fit for you than this device is up to you? I wouod say that if the Ally has an inch or 2 more of screen real-estate I'd be in love. Heck its probaly not too hard to get a 3D printed mount for a ln iPad or tablet to sit ontop of the Ally and still hold the controller part behind it to game on a nicer bigger screen? Idk. Gotta return mine unfortunately. 1st impression was that I was returning the Ally because it didnt meet my expectations off the rip. Fast forward about 8 hours of hands on playing and tweeking while connected to the supplied power source in a 65° AC with the onboard fans wide open. I get an error message while playing Diablo at 1080p that says I "ran out of memory." It forces a restart and thwn my device simply never powers back on. No leds when plugged in or docked, non when not. No button combination forces a reboot or anything. Just a brick now. There are non in stock within an hour+ of me and the Best Buy I shop at is already 45 minutes away. Also the storage is lacking. The SD slot did work with no issues for me but is an outdated medium if you ask me.

Works like a charm, but needs additional battery bank that is not hard to find, because battery holds for about 1 hour of continues play. Small and powerful, perfect idea for travel.

This device has been a definite blast!!! It’s been a great little gaming handheld and it has been extremely helpful for getting to and through my back catalogue of games. I highly recommend this device but only if you can get it on sale especially with the ally x right around the corner

I've been gaming since I was four and a half years old I'm now 40 and I would say that this is probably one of the coolest most powerful consoles that's in your hands that I've ever had. Some reviews will knock it but they are extremely hard this console kicks rear and is extremely powerful and if you can somehow afford the XG mobile you will have some god tier gaming performance that you can bring over to a party and play your favorite games

In my opinion it's better than steam deck. Because in asus I can play the Xbox games. And the screens are a little bigger and the only bad thing is that the battery runs out very quickly.

Way better than steam deck. Every game i want to play i play it without having to do a bunch of stuff to make it work. It just works!

I bought this in july when i become homeless to keep gaming, but now im about to become homeless again.

I've tested several gaming handheld devices, and this is still my Go To. More expensive than a Steam Deck, but your paying for extra quality and performance. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the faulty SD Card slot, but honestly I'd never use it anyway.

This device will allow you to game anywhere. It is able to go from being a powerhouse handheld to a desktop (with the eGPU) teir performance. Try it out.
