Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my son after he and I saw the prices for the Switch 2. He's been getting more into steam games and purchases most of the games he has himself. Seeing the prices of the Switch 2 games, he immediately wanted something like this instead. He's constantly using it everywhere and has setup his desk so he can use it with a keyboard and mouse hooked up to occasionally to even play League of Legends on it. He's had no complaints about it and we plan on installing Bazite OS so we can dual boot Windows along with it for a smoother experience for him. Worth the price for sure with how much joy he has and how much more he's outside his room with it and spending time with the family.

This handheld is a beast. I haven't had a problem playing any games on game pass or steam.

The ROG Ally is a great handheld device running windows. Decent Battery Life, amazing screen. Lightweight and incredibly portable.

I have been loving my ally so far. Runs all my games with no issues. Great for someone who is on the go or wants to relax in bed.

Get gaming devices however sd card situation is frustrating. SD card showed up in advance storage and now it doesn’t. Which means I can’t download all of my game library. Other than battery life it great when it’s working. This is not for someone who wants simplicity.

This is a great product, being able to game on the go and play triple AAA titles anywhere you are is just amazing!

Works excellent. The ROG is a powerhouse and easy for travel. Perfect for my lifestyle.

Perfect for gaming on the go! You can play your games just like you would on a home PC but in a car or at a friends house.

Got this to compare to my Steam Deck. Immediately upgraded the storage to a 4tb M.2, and i havent touched the Deck since. I made the Deck a dual boot machine with Windows as well, and this thing handles Windows so much smoother. Completely recommed if youre on the fence, make the purchase. Ordered this little beast online. As always, Best Buy had it here the next day, so overall very happy from start to finish.

Very fast and runs smooth. i love having a portable gaming pc when i get go out.

Pros +powerful gaming handheld +can multitask while gaming +cool looking and decent ergonomics +can run emulators like a boss +can play pc games 1080p (30fps on AAA) Cons -software a bit buggy and awkward at first but might get fixed -windows might not be for everyone -not a full console experience like the psp , ps vita or nintendo switch -still needs software updates since its a bit of mess

Really nice but the battery does not do well as I expected

It is a great gaming machine overall. I was EXTREMELY reluctant to buy it because I absolutely did not want to deal with Windows and all of the challenges, bugs, tinkering, etc. that comes with it. For that reason, I was much more interested in the Steam Deck. However, since getting this, I have actually not had any problems with Windows. It has been smooth sailing in that regard, surprisingly. There were a lot of updates at first, but that was fine. Overall, I am happy with the device. BUT, there is one HUGE caveat. There is a big issue with the microSD card reader and as of now (September 2023), the issue still has not been fixed. Basically the SD card slot is unusable for a lot of people. One of the features of the device simply doesn't work at all and that is unfair to consumers. People have found workarounds and that's great, but consumers should not have to do that. Promised features of devices should actually work. This is not asking too much. So, I cannot give it a 5 star review while this issue persists for so many users.

This is the best handheld console I ever used. I love the way I can play all my steam and Xbox games in the go, even though the storage is a problem, I still manage to download the games I want to play on the go.

After readijg all the reviews both positive and negative i decided to give this a try. I absolutely love it. I didnt run into any issues with my device. Its been a blast and i sold my gaming laptop. I travel a bit for work so having this on the go has been a real treat than lugging my laptop around with all the components as well. If you are familiar with gaming on desktop/laptop windows then this should be a rather easy product to use. For what this product can do the price is actually decent.

Really great graphics. Had joystick failure first week. Best Buy was GREAT about exchange. No questions or hassle with the replacement of new console. I think Microsoft could employ a few less updates and there would be less bugs but that’s above my pay grade. Very satisfied with the ROG

I haven’t tried it with a micro SD so I can’t say if it’s true that they are damaged by the rog ally, but the the controller feels really comfortable (I thought it wouldn’t be by the looks) And the power is really good in general. The only ugly thing I haven’t liked so far (beside some software bugs) is the battery, it drains very fast. You will have around 1 hour of playing in mid - high games.

This has gotten much better since release. The updates helped with performance and now it turns on and you can just play. Runs games very well and medium settings. I'm very impressed with the hardware and screen. I wish it had quick resume like the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update.

This is a great device for on the go. It can handle quite well with newer games! Highly recommend!

It was a great gaming machine. But battery was disappointing.
