Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ill be traveling for a while so this is exactly what I needed in a step up over the steam deck. The screen is SO much better than the deck, and ill really appreciate that as I go. I'd say that if you didnt care about the slight perfromance gain / screen and currently have a Deck you should probably stick with that

was a great device actually pretty impressive that a handheld would work so good like this !

Bought this for my daughter. She uses it more now than her Xbox. Easy to connect controllers. Steam works great. She used PS remote play from another network than the PS 5 and experienced no lag. Excellent system.

It does pretty well for the games ive played and the size is just right for me. Refresh rate and resolution are good. The cons for me are all the different software Steam, xbox, and aura. They clash alot until you get everything the way you need it. It just takes time, which isnt bad, it's just annoying at first. The real no no for me was the issues with the triggers and bumpers. My right trigger won't calibrate now and only registers as half a pull and the bumpers stick sometimes. I did buy an open box so that could be why. The customer service was good though.

This is the first gaming system I’ve bought since the white xbox one sunset overdrive in 2014.. This is a great device. I feel like it has some software issues for sure that will be eventually worked out. Good to go.

Phenomenal! It's a new device. Most of the issues are windows issues as well. I believe things will get better overall with this handheld. This has replaced my consoles already. People talk about the battery life as well. Someone said the fastest car is not going to have the best gas mileage! Remember that!

If you know what you’re getting into this device is perfect! Plays PC / Xbox games (but being a PC it may take some effort for best performance) Think of it like buying a gaming laptop but more affordable

Good for Fortnite as a handheld gaming pc. Gets hot and to get decent fps to play at least 60fps consistently. In the end the battery life was only 1hr and for the money just not worth it.

Screen / picture quality is amazing. Smooth gaming experience Sounds great Runs windows which can be a plus or minus depending on the user and their knowledge of how to use windows. This is a full blown mini gaming PC. If you don't wanna use the built in controller buy a dock and connect it to your tv and use a Regular gaming controller Asus makes one for this. It doesn't have to be used as a handheld, you can use the included little dock and just use it to watch Netflix, YouTube etc. This isn't a console for kids. This is an adult console, meaning you have to read instructions on screen and follow directions, some games you may have to map your own buttons, so not for kids plus it has full windows so theirs that. Mature older teen 16+ sure great gift. So while it may look like a Nintendo Switch I would definitely not recommend this for younger kids or anyone that does not intend to put in the work with windows updates, and navigating, installing all of the gaming services. You can also upgrade the internal SSD if the included 512 isn't enough for you.

Its a good product. I think it still has a lot to figure out especially the out of box setup. However, it will run anything you throw at it and with the new bios update it runs with maximum performace. I have never owned a steam deck but this is a great alternative in my opnion if you have the cash for it.

Battery life could be better much better, but pretty much every other way an excellent device coming from here steam deck owner have the Legion go did not like it. Thank you to Best Buy for letting me return it and get the ROG ally a superior device 

Let me preface this with, for standard users, this is not ideal or streamlined to setup. Asus has MANY bugs to work out. Upon initial setup, I couldn't get past OOBE for windows when trying to unit the password for my WiFi. Why? Because the onscreen keyboard didnt populate, as is common. You can force it up by holding tye rear bumper buttons and. Pushing up on rhe Dpad simultaneously, but i had to google that answer. Or you can connect it to a dock and external KB/Mouse and workaround it. Either way, highly annoying and terrible programming from Asus. Then, Armoury Crate continued to crash wanna pop up black acreens subsequently during setup. Overall, i spent 3 hours doing setup, and I'm a power user in Windows. I can only imagine how long it would take a normal user, or how many people just returned it. Likely why there are are a TON of openbox offerings in my locale now. Add in that PS Remote play isnt natively compatible and you gave to install Chiaki or otgerwise, and its a high fidget device that is definitely not ready for the general public. That being said, once you do get it all set, it looks great and plays well across PC games, Xbox, and even streaming. The lack of trackpads is annoying, but battery life is decent, and it is much more powerful than steamdecks top model in comparison.

Oh yes, this is my favorite thing. This is the perfect solution. A game console that easily turns into a full-fledged PC - just buy a screen and a mouse with a keyboard . You will be in the black and delight

its good for game on the go and for other stuff like work or blender

I love this thing! The performance is great. I play games like RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, and many more. I also use it for emulation (including yuzu) which works wonderfully. The internal gyro is compatible with motion controls which is cool.

I would give it a 5 star if the battery was good. Playing fifa Fc 24 on turbo mode drains the battery in about an hour. They really need to fix that if they make another rog device.

Love my handheld gaming that I can take anywhere and play steam games. No issues with latency or lag.

Very good and beautiful gaming handheld. Asus makes quality products.

Excellent performance from a handheld but the fact that windows in hand held isn’t a fun experience. If Microsoft would make a handheld mode exclusively for the handhelds this device would be amazing instead of just great.

Great device. Has been really upgraded by updates since I've bought. Wish the battery was better
