Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for on the go gaming or playing at home on the dock. If you already have a gaming pc then this is definitely a luxury item you may not need, but if you're looking for your first gaming rig and want something portable (and the highest graphics settings arent a requirement for you.) This is the perfect set up imo. Easy to use interface, simple set up, and the best part is being able to pay games across multiple platforms, not just steam. And upgrading the ssd is a snap.

Great portable console. It has windows 11 prei-nstalled and Asus launcher. You can play any Steam game and retro games through emulators.

Really awesome for a handheld PC. Some issues with the SD card reader going bad because overheating issues; I've avoided that issue by not using it.

Specs, size, sound quality, weight, power. Best in class. Only con is the slightly lesser battert life compared to others.

Battery runs out fast it works really well but that’s my only complaint

Good performance for a handheld PC. Supporting software is not perfect but very good and almost convinces that this is a viable handheld gaming device. Poor battery life as a Windows PC. Terrible battery life as a handheld gaming device. SD card is susceptible to overheating by design. Inefficient when you want battery life.

Ran perfect for me and runs all my games perfectly. I use it as my travel PC and does everything I need.

The ally is an amazing portable gaming device, and has all the performance I can ask for. However, asus needs to do some work on the software side of things. Essentially, there are multiple apps that you need to use to update this device. Asus does not tell you about one of them called “my asus,” where you get bios updates as well as other firmware updates from. Additionally, the armory crate software is not the most intuitive piece of software.

First of all dont believe all thr bad reviews, because many of those are from people who barely ynderstand how to turn on a cellphone, let alone set up a computer. It requires some patience and knowledge. If you dont have the knowledge be patient, the system requires many updates since its been wokred on by Asus and some Windows drivers also need to be updated. At most this will take you an hour or so, but once you get eveyrthing up and ready. Tryst me, the Ally plays all your games beautifully, so dont be dissapointed at first. The console is amazing for its size.

I LOVE this thing. I also have a Steam deck and wanted to try this because I play Xbox games. The screen is so much better than the Steam Deck and I actually understand Windows vs Linux. Its just built entirely for a different consumer than the Steam Deck and that consumer is me. I would not hesitate if you have the cash and are looking to get into handheld gaming and want to play games outside of the Steam ecosystem easily.

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present. Short of the long, she loves it. It also works as a handheld PC

Device is beautiful and feels good in the hands. Performance is good but still has some bugs that needs to be addressed and windows 11 sometimes makes it impossible to use. Battery life is terrible, specially if you want to play AAA games on the go. Probably need to wait some time to see if it improves with software updates but overall is a great device

I bought to play on different games on different launchers. Works great with both epic games and steam. It is the perfect handheld.

Good device, runs everything smooth but terrible battery life.

Item as described, i would like if the battery lasted a little bit longer.. I also updated the memory to 1 tera.

I'm really enjoying it. It's made playing single player games fun again. I could be understanding it wrong but sometimes when I power it on it just shuts off, even though the battery isn't dead. After a couple of tries it works. But other than that everything is working great.

One of the best gaming handhelds out, great for on the go can be taking any where, also purchased at a really good price.

Amazing product I cannot recommend this enough!!!!

I have had the Rog since the day it was released frim Best Buy and I love it. Mind you I am coming ftom 100% console play, therefore never really been into PC gaming. I could never really get into the aspect of gaming from a gaming PC, even knowing they have better preference. Therefore after months of research I went with the Rog over the Steam Deck. My reason was based on overall the Rog has less limitations than the competition at a great price. Ive read countless nitpicky reviews from PC gamers that leaves me asking why they just didnt stick to PC.

It's great and runs really well. Four stars because the LED lighting in one of the joysticks glitches.
