Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great piece of tech, few bugs out of the box, but a few updates later, it runs great

This is an amazing product, however, the major issue at the moment is the micro SD card reader. ASUS has acknowledged this issue, but unfortunately my first rog ally’s micro SD card reader stopped working after about 11 days. I’m hopefully that it’s more of a firmware issue so I have ordered a replacement. Other than that, it is an excellent gaming device if you have a bit of technical expertise.

I really wanted to like the rog Ally. I've had it for just over two weeks, luckily I'm still eligible for a return, so I'm going to pursue that return. Hour plus setup process to begin okay I was okay with that it's just a Windows computer... But in the proceeding weeks of using it I've had crashes, I've had my micro SD card be destroyed by it. The card literally is dead will not be read in any other computer. There's the firmware issues, the horrible battery life even on 10 watts I found on some lower powered games I still get maybe an hour at most I can literally watch it count down almost with the seconds. I really wanted to like this as I said but I feel like it's a beta that got released to the public possibly even an alpha product. I like Asus I have an Asus gaming laptop and it works great. But unfortunately the April 1st announcement date of this almost feels like it's fulfilling itself.

Definitely a gaming beast......if you know what you're doing. This is not a out of the box plug and play device. It requires a hefty initial set up. After that tinkering and getting games to run how you want will still require tweaking and testing. If you're familiar with windows and such you will have a blast if you have patience. I love this device, I'm sure Asus will hash out whatever issues arise/exist.

After owning and playing it for a week i have decided its the perfect power for the price it blows the steam deck away by 5x.

Awesome gaming machine graphics are great looks good on tv too only issue is battery dies very fast.

Product works great with most games. New buyers should understand that this is not an ultra pc or gaming laptop. It runs most games effectively however some games require and external mouse and keyboard. The games with higher graphics also will probably on get about 20-30 FPS on this device. However this system is everything I was looking for in terms of the games I play on it.

Great device for playing games and retro games, only draw back is the battery life,

Overall a nice device. Lower rating is due to the fact that windows on a handheld is really not fun. It’s not designed for a handheld touchscreen. Build quality is solid. Fan noise is ok on 15-18w but at 25w gets a bit loud. Screen is fantastic. Performance is great at 30w plugged in.

Very fun and perfect to PC games on the go! Had my eye on this for awhile and finally got one. Not disappointed.

It is definitely a powerful portable, and can run AAA games pretty well on medium settings. Screen looks great, but the controls are subpar compared to a steam deck. The overlay for choosing games is also an afterthought at best, as you get kicked out into normal windows A LOT, so you never forget thisnis a windows machine.

Really have enjoyed the Rog Ally. Wish it had more storage but it still gets the job done. Little slow when off the charger and kicking up the graphics all the way up.

The Ally is an amazing handheld, You can play Xbox games, Steam, and more. With Windows as the operating system the possibilities are endless. The display is the best ive ever seen, probably the biggest improvement over the Steam Deck. Unfortunately, the battery life is horrendous. 2-3 hours at most with most games.

I imagined this product 15 years ago when Xbox 360 was out. I wanted it to be a reality so bad. When the switch came out it was the closest thing to it, but this blows the switch out of the water. I have 2 young kids so finding time to sit down in front of a tv or computer to play games is nearly impossible. Now I play this thing all over the place at the house, at work, or if I go out for lunch. I haven’t been able to game in years and I love this!

Solid upgrade performance wise from the steam deck. Play at 720p, upscale to 1080p and it runs mostly everything with medium or higher settings /30fps. Vrr low cap can also be changed easily from 45fps to 30fps. Battery life isnt great, as to be expected 1hr 25w. Display is excellent, controls feel very nice, and the machine is about as lousd as a gaming laptop under medium load.

In great condition works like new and awesome handheld love being able to play games away from my pc!

This thing is powerful and a joy. Only bummer is battery life but well worth the trade off for power.

Incredibly happy with the ally. Its a cross between a laptop and a gaming tablet. Its very obviously geared towards PC gamers, so if you arent familiar with steam or windows gaming, it'll be a little difficult as its not made like a nintendo switch. If youre willing to put the effort in to learn it, its an awesome handheld that you can also use as a mobile PC if you connect a wireless keyboard and mouse.

[Employee of bestbuy] A very good PC handheld and competitor to the Steam Deck. The fact that it runs Windows 11 is a major plus to many. Some downsides include limited battery life depending on the title you're playing. And a clunky UI experience due to Armory Crate not being fully integrated into the system.

I love this thing especially with the long commute I have, this offers hours of entertainment.
