Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device for gaming, it doesn’t necessarily make gaming ‘portable’ because you will want it plugged in for the best performance and to play longer than an hour.. I use mine for a few different games Beamng drive, world of Warcraft …it works really good for most games however games like wow that aren’t fully optimized will occasionally freeze, do a black screen and resume eventually but it can be really frustrating ..addons like consoleport make it a seamless experience outside of that though..

Great product, battery is a draw back but it still worth the money for the great screen and specs it has.

The asus rog ally is good for AAA games and really good performance. The downfall is the battery life 1 hour last.

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.

I bought this for my son with complete knowledge of some of the build quality issues around heat. This is his first gaming handheld so I made sure I got the extra warranty. Overall it’s not a bad handheld, good price, plays all types of games (low to mid settings), the battery life could be improved. I ended up returning it after the sad card reader burned out and the battery died. It stopped turned on about 8 weeks after I bought it. I ended up using the money to get one of the Xbox ally

If you like handheld gaming and the ability to have the power of a low end pc with xbox compatibility this thing is for you o have over 300 hours logged with my ally it restored my love for gaming as a 34 year old.

Ive enjoyed playing different type of games on it including wazone, Expectation. Thirty three oblivion remastered Only draw back is battery life but keep it plugged in and your good to go. I love the features to program custom game profiles and key combinations

This was an open box purchase and it was like brand new.... absolutely love it... works great with steam

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 was a slight learning curve as you need to know how to set it up, but it has been a game changer. I absolutely love love love this. I can play all the games I want without needing to take up a whole tv screen or be at my PC. Definitely recommend. Just know that it will take a bit to get used to. Looking up help guides really saved me time.

Sure, there's some updates and setup needed out of the box (it is a PC, so that was expected), but that all went rather smoothly. It feels good in the hands, control layout is great, and the screen is just amazing. I installed a new 2tb ssd upgrade. This was also very easy to do. Asus has how-to videos online, just make sure to update everything thru the MyAsus app first. Then you can use the automated cloud recovery to reinstall everything. I also own a Steam Deck but this will be my new go-to when I wanna do some handheld gaming.

Got the rog cuz I wanted to play PC games in handheld mode. It was alright. Ran great. But the console was heavy and needed constant charging. Didn't last more than a little over an hour running on battery. Also wrists started hurting from holding it for a short period of time. Ended up returning it.

​Works great, no complaints. I'm still using it even after more than 2 years.

A fantastic handheld PC, it plays all of my games at acceptable settings. The screen looks fantastic, especially when 120hz is enabled.

Rog ally has been a very fast and powerful device. Though the battery leaves much to be desired. This little device packs a punch. Being able to compare to current console performance

amazing performance in a small package, only downsides are the white plastic gets dirty easily and the battery life isn't that great

Great device and comfortable to hold. It plays everything from all the storefronts uou want to throw at it.

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.

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.

I can't talk highly enough about this. I have a Switch but ever since I started playing more PC games, I have wanted the ability to continue to play those games when I travel. Now I can put more hours into No Man's Sky when I am away from my desk. This has been the best purchase!
