Customer Ratings & Reviews

Whether I would recommend this or not is "it depends". Hardware is solid, fast, and works as advertised. Battery life is as expected (a few hours max on intense gaming, longer on lighter loads). It runs Windows though, and there is no escaping that. On the plus side that means it is compatible with a large set of saoftware. On the downside, it comes with the clunkiness of tryin to use Windows on a small screen device. It took about an hour before I could use it at all out of the box by the time it installed Windows updates, Asus updates, BIOS updates, etc. The times you have to break out of Asus Armory Crate, Steam, or Xbox apps and intertact with the Windows desktop are very painful. So.... Do I recommend it? If you are OK with Windows, and all that entails in terms of updates/management/upgrde/etc, then YES, If you are looking for a Switch-like handheld that you can always just pick up and play with no fuss, then NO. It will take more interaction, management, and administration than that.

Excellent device, battery life doesn't last long but amazing device.

This thing is great. Plays every title i bought it for

It is nice product easy to use and great screen quality design is another great thing about it

This machine is like having magic in my hands, the speed, the quick response that the joysticks have, the variety of things that you can do such as watch videos, look for reviews for other devices, and other awesome things like its wide storage. Its perfomance cannot be compared with other devices in the same line of products. I really enjoy having it and I don't regret buying it

Asus ROG Ally impresses with its sleek design and powerful performance, delivering top-tier gaming experiences. Its high refresh rate display and responsive controls enhance gameplay immersion. With robust hardware and customizable features, it caters to both casual and competitive gamers alike. A premium choice for those seeking cutting-edge gaming technology.

Having purchased both the rog ally and legion go and weeks of testing i gave the latter the shot. Dont get me wrong the rog ally is solid and speedy but not as smooth inbetween gaming and desktop use. also keep in mind it does have its issues such as the sd card possibly failing i didnt want to take that chance

This is a great system once you get it set up and optimized. Runs some pretty demanding games really well. It isn’t a laptop replacement but in the handheld gaming market this little system really shines. Upgrade the internal storage and pick up some accessories, dock, power bank etc. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials out there that will get you up and running quickly too.

This thing is awesome! So if you’re looking for something to play on the go definitely recommend. I was thinking of this or the steam handheld even the Aya Neo ultimately went with this due to the look and size and not disappointed. Should note I’m a hardcore gamer mostly got this for the airport on work trips so really will probably play 15-20 hours a month.

Got it a little late but only by a day or two of release. Out of the box had to reset because armory crate would not load. After windows reset everything was working fine. Assassin Creed Chronicle crashed system but looked it up and it’s a game issue. Watchdog two runs fine and AC Odyssey bench ran fine. Steam games ran fine. My only issue is low storage.

Other then sub par battery life im very impressed. I’ve hardly touched my Xbox since purchasing it. Asus did a good job on the software. Makes the windows 11 OS tolerable. I’d wait for the Ally X to come out unless this is way discounted.

Great handheld, handles a lot of games well. Perfect for on the go.

At first I really was weary about purchasing since I already had another device that I could play my games on my phone, but this thing knocks anything else out of the park. Setup was relatively easy and I took others comments and updated any software before I put it through it's paces. I haven't needed to do heavy configuring since I use it for moderate gaming and emulation. For the price, I don't think you can beat it.

At first, I was unsure about the performance of this machine. But once I dialed in the settings of the games I was looking to play, (Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, Days Gone, Assassin's Creed Valhalla), the games ran at a smooth 60 fps and still looked great. If you are someone who is away from your PC a lot and still want to game, this is a great option.

This is the funnest device I own. You really need to adjust expectations with this machine, but its really so much fun and change how I approach video games. This is a casual gaming device. Battery life is about 2 to 4 hours depending in the game. I would recommend getting a good battery pack if you want to be off the wall more than just casually.

I was excited about this device, it has a great screen played modern games decently. I ultimately returned the item, it had slow download rates. Another issue I had was the sleep/wake up and the built in control would not work and it would require a reboot.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this product. I recommend it to anyone considering Steam Deck.

Great handheld. A little fine tuning on mist games but can get most to work. Wish it had usb 4 to connect external graphics card like its pricier brother.

Tiny and good performance. Very good sound. SD card not work is well-known. However, I did not know it is not reliable. I used it as my major PC at home with everything connected (monitor, keyboard, xBox controller) I am not a heavy gamer. Most of time I use for Youtube. After 7-month use, one day it was on than went to bios forever, I have no choice but reinstall Windows After 7.5-month use, it suddenly made a bad sound, shut down and restarted in front of me. It was not because of any windows updates. It is an excellent-open-box item. OK, 15-months from manufacturing day maximum. Still short...... Good for everyday use, but I am not happy on its issues.

Ok this thing is powerful, and the XG port makes it worth it even more. This is now my mobile gaming system with an XG dock. It can even play VRChat through Oculus with the XG card. Diablo is running ad med to high in portable mode. Beef swith the system. Got to start this off with the battery life. Its fairly small at 2 hours. Next is windows sucks in tablet and portable mode though I manage windows tablets at my work it's still a pain to use.
