Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excelent performance, it has improved a lot with new updates. The only con is the battery life, but it was expected you can't have it all.

Amazing! Play any game you want without having to worry if it is compatible. Games run great. Battery life is decent. Unit charges fast.

Great perferct product! Perfectly works ! 100% glad i buy this.

Personally I love my Ally. I use it mainly to play PC games around the house. I do not like to always be by my gaming pc and this allows me to play in bed or sitting on the couch watching tv. I have ran some emulators and AAA PC games on it, all runs great. There is a bit of a learning curve to PC gaming that most people do not realize. This is not a Nintendo Switch that you will just pick up and play you will have to likely trouble shoot issues like how to update different programs if you are not use to doing so.

Awesome gaming device with lots of customization but only downside is kind of short battery life, on GTA 5 battery barely last about an hour

Have owned it for 2 weeks and no complaints. I’m impressed what the Rog Ally can do. I’ve been able to play xbox, N64, ps1 and ps5 games.

The screen quality is great. And the button layout is nice as well. Ergonomics could be a bit better

Amazing little gaming portable! So easy to pick up a game and play for a few minutes. Everything works great and performance is amazing.

I got this with the steamdeck . It totally 2 different machines, steam perfect for daily gaming like grab&go but some of the games can’t play on steam (ex Forza5, cyberpunk lacking alots , GoW running really bad during graphic…) . Ally is different animals can be played them all cause base on pc running both versions steam and xboxpass. They both still amazing machines for me .

[Employee of bestbuy] Very great product well desined games run super smoth but the battery doesnt last as much as i would like

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.

I bought this near the initial launch, and saw lots of reviews about bad hardware. Coming to report nearly a year later to report ASUS has continually updated the machine, and it's been an absolute pleasure to use. I upgraded the storage to a 2TB NVME, and it was really easy to do yourself. Battery life is pretty bad (~1.5-2 hours on highest performance setting), but that's honestly to be expected.

I purchased the ASUS ROG Ally on June 13 and I have to say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The performance is outstanding, allowing me to smoothly run even the most demanding games and applications without any lag or slowdown. If you're a serious gamer looking for a reliable and powerful handheld to compete with the Valve Steamdeck, the ROG Ally is the perfect choice. Highly recommended by a Steamdeck Owner

I LOVE this device. Performance is great. OS is snappy. Cooling is very good. Temps do get high ~95 under full load, but this pulls down almost immediately once full load is no longer. COD MW2 - 720p Low. 85-100fps. Battlefield V sees around 75-80 fps on low 720p. I sold gaming laptop in favor of a gaming desktop but still wanted something portable. This fit the bill and then some. Was an even better value as open box on top of the current sale price.

If you need this, then get it. Otherwise, don't spend your money. Yeah, it is great but the battery life drains pretty fast. I will be gaming for an hour and the battery is at 50 percent already. Honestly, if you have a PC already and you are not on the road too often, then stick with Phone/Mobile gaming because this is not worth it unless you have to try something new that plays PC games, then go ahead because the best thing about it is that you can play games on here natively than playing gaming via stream so you can the best performance but you might have to lower the quality since it does not have the best hardware to play at ULTRA settings. Overall, I love the style of this but the battery life goes down quickly over an hour. Good audio. Okay controls if you are able to grip the side when playing FPS games. Download PC games (Xbox Pass, Steam, EPIC, etc.). I love the idea for this but the battery drainage and less usage for this device are the downside for me since I game a lot on my PS5 and PC...and also less traveling.

Works as intended got so i could play with my brother on pc games

Beat device ever. One flaw, battery life. Make sure to plug it in for after play

Getting around at first is a learning curve, but all in all I prefer this over the laptop that I had at the time. I use this when my steam deck dies.

It is a great handled gaming device. It can’t handle the newest AAA games but plays other games very well.

The ROG Ally is Beast of a gaming machine, I honestly read the reviews and expected it to be buggy, but that was not the case. I just ran the Armory Crate and Asus updater and it has run my games flawlessly. Battery life is a bit low (2hrs) heavy gaming, but the performance of the Ally more than makes up for it. Definitely my favorite gaming device and would highly recommend!
