Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a truck driver I absolutely love this thing. I’m constantly on the go and on the move and rarely am home. With this I no longer have to struggle with bringing my counsel back and fourth to my truck. This I just toss it in my bag and can play the games that I play with ease!

It works. It has random issues in typical ASUS fashion. Displays won't work using a Lenovo dock. Connecting an xbox controller may or may not work if you keep the joysticks enabled. Don't accidentally turn off the controller mode when touchscreen isn't on. If you don't have another input device connected, you're going to be incredibly annoyed. Turning it on/off is not the most responsive. I have to try a few times sometimes. The sticks are way too sensitive. The entire experience might be better if the sticks didn't feel like it was on skates. Other than these faults, it runs games pretty decently. Again, typical for ASUS.

One of the most excellent and well built portable pc gaming console to date, this little beast can run almost every game that has compatible drivers at it and it can run controller friendly games with ease I purchased the 512gb z1 extreme version and I have been addicted ever since the first day

Excellent if you have computer knowledge. I bought an open box for 150 off and it was like new, this thing is amazing. Took some messing around setup was probably an hour after updates and everything. Highly recommend this open box deal to anyone that wants one but doesn’t wanna spend 700

Amazing handheld PC. Infinitely better than steamdeck as well as any other handheld windows machine out there. Ordered new Ally X because i was so impressed with and enjoyed having the Ally Z1 Extreme.

Debated with myself for a while on whether to pull the trigger and get a Rog Ally, and I can’t say that I have been disappointed. Not a big windows person myself so wasn’t sure if it was for me. Would definitely recommend buying even if sitting on the fence about it. You can’t beat gaming while on the go!

After reading reviews and first-hand accounts of the ROG Ally having issues with the SD Card reader, and purchasing/returning two open-box handhelds that has that I decided to buy it again once it went on sale. Been playing on it for a couple of hours a week and compared to before, the updates have helped with the overheating and keeping the SD card reader from burning out. I like the ergonomics of it and smaller size than the Steam Deck. I'll update this if anything pops up in long-term usage.

I found the Ally a little more difficult to set-up being that it runs the whole windows operating system. Which does have its benefits in the long run, this allows for more game launcher programs and the ability to run more games than the Steam Deck. My only complaint is how quickly the battery can be drained.

Very nice device with solid performance. Just had limited uses for myself already having a gaming laptop

Very nice device, took a little knowledge to set up but nothing major. Looks super crispy even at 720p on some games. SD card is still working for me. Sticks are a bit loose but it’s only a problem with fps for me.

Any worries you have about buying this device go out the window immediately, it’s simple to use and so many YouTube videos to help guide you and if you’re ever having any gameplay issues you do a few tweaks and problem solved

Great gaming handheld PC. Still some bugs that are being worked out but the device plays games well. Windows 11 works as expected, when docked, external display output is good quality. Upgraded to 2TB SSD, that process was quite easy as well.

What a fantastic handheld this is. All you need to be prepared for is to tinker a little with the power and the fans. Im playing full fifa, spiderman and cyberpunk on the go. And when you are home plug it in to your tv set to turbo and play at even higher quality/FPS. This is a winner.

Screen is perfect size easy to hold onto the ergonomics are perfect on this device. AAA gaming is no issue and battery life is alright. Pair this with the asus adapter and you can hdmi out with ease.

Dont bother with the steam deck. Just pick up an Ally. Since recieving my ally, i havent played the steam deck at all. The rog simply outclasses the steam deck. Playing games natively works well but streaming is where its at. Using moonlight/steam streaming at 120fps is absolutely glorious for couch sessions.

Is an absolutely amazing handheld for gaming can run all the AAA games well if you don’t know how to work windows it can be a little tough but doesn’t take long to get use to is definitely worth the money especially if you don’t have the time to put in on your console or desktop

While I loved my Steam Deck there were just some games it couldn't run very well or at all. But the ROG Ally has been able to take everything I threw at it at 1080p with at least a very playable 30fps. Overall great purchase that I would recommend to anyone who wishes there Steam Deck had a little extra power.

I've been using this device for a few months now and absolutely love it. It is more powerful than my desktop gaming computer in many ways. One of which is that it runs Starfield perfectly while my desktop cant! It takes some getting used to but now it has become an everyday carry item.

i love it also get the Anker - PowerCore III Elite 25600 that is a must with this because this thing is a champ i use this more than i use my steam deck now because you can use it as a computer since it comes with full windows 11 so i can use it for work related stuff

So I bought this to take with me when I travel. The stats look good for several games I play. Diablo II plays great! Diablo III doesn't support controller play so I haven't loaded it. Diablo IV should be supported but even on low graphics model the system is very laggy and in most cases not playable. Over all it is ok, and I'll use it for some games like D2 and maybe hearthstone. May try some other xbox games but the performance just wasn't what is should be capable of with the spec's. Too bad as it had great possibilities according to the specs. Other issue is battery life. Lucky to get an hour, but it does a good job not getting hot so that was a plus!
