Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a new computer for work in school but also wanted a new console to play with for downtime. I was a little skeptical and getting a hand held console but after looking at all the reviews for this, I caved and it was probably one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's nice to have it available from my office space to game on a monitor and to be able to sit and game in the living room with while my wife watches her reality TV shows.

Performed great, I was able to run Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty for about 30 minutes before it would drain the battery. Overall I liked the product but I kept looking for more accessories for the Ally that made me question my purchase versus buying a pc or console.

Overall it runs games on steam and other platforms but the integration with windows makes it a little confusing to use. I ran into problems where games didn't recognize the "controller" and thought I was playing on PC which made it impossible to play. Specifically this happened on Overwatch. After tweaking the settings I was impressed to see almost 120 FPS when playing games like Rocket League and Apex. If you want to keep getting high performance like 120 FPS I recommend staying close to an outlet. You will only get about 40 min on maxed out settings (as expected). There are some cool features like a finger print scanner so you don't have to use your Microsoft Account Pin every time. This leads me to my last point; you will need a Microsoft account if you don't have one already. I am sure Gamepass will work great on this unit (Unfortunately I was unable to test this) I think this unit has tremendous opportunity for growth. I might be giving the Asus Ally a 3 out of 5 right now but in 6 months that could easily change. I haven't reviewed the Steam Deck yet but follow Battle Vision Gaming on TikTok for more reviews.

Ergonomic, ergonomic, ergonomic. the 3 things that are important to me the ally was a great fit in my hands on Day 1. Of Course the graphics Great, sound level with cooling "low level", audio best for what all handhelds must do. All in all I am very happy worked well on the first day I used it. Monster Hunter world, Risk of rain, Elden ring, Horizon. Took some advise from the people in the reviews.

Solid performance especially when playing diablo 4. Although the battery life is a bit short overall this is a great gaming handheld.

So far, it's working great. Initially, I received a faulty item where the screen was not showing anything. Then, after the complaint, BestBuy replaced the product with a good one. It's running smoothly. However, I have to play with lower resolution for some games, such as FIFA23 or FC24. Otherwise, the game lags. But other heavy games, such as Forza Horizon, are playing smoothly. When I connect it to a monitor, the graphics really look awesome. My overall satisfaction is great.

Very accessible and very responsive. The AMD chip does wonders for this handheld windows seamless and the grip is not too wide to make it uncomfortable and the screen is just the right size for viewing battery life could be better but you’re usually next to a outlet that you can just stay charged and turbo mode for optimum efficiency. Can go wrong with this device, def recommend it for a portable handheld!

Best windows handheld out there with top notch performance. Get this over the steam deck. Beautiful screen and powerful apu.

I was absolutely skeptical about buying this item, even thought about returning it but i gave it a couple days of use and ended up falling in love with it. For q handheld gaming device it runs great graphics and i can play AAA games smoothly with no issues. I play cod competitively and rocket league with minimal differences between the rog and my gaming pc other than the obviously exorcted differences. 10/10 recommend. Love my rog ally.

This machine is the perfect power house for on the go gaming. I was in the market recently looking for one because of my job and saw that this one was on it's way to release. After doing a little research I decided to pull the trigger and pre order. After of having the device you would be hard pressed not to see it in my hands it handles all the games that I want play with such ease including very recent titles like Street fighter 6 and Diablo 4. I can't express how much I am satisfied with this purchase.

I bought open box excellent got exactly that only thing that sucks didn’t get the rog stand for it.The handheld PC is amazing use it at work while on break or waiting for Uber after work and it’s a champ plays all my emulators ps3 ect runs great,new games runs great,honestly awesome invention so glad I was able to get one,also got a friend to get one he also loves it replace his laptop with it.

Great i love it, works great, super portable, runs most games

Great device. 10/10 on everything except a few points. -Would be better if there were other colors. -The fact that the gfx card extension is proprietary and not universal is a negative. -The "m" buttons in the back are legitimately terrible. Sure you *can* assign other functions to them but what's the point when pushing them while playing is so hard? -It could have had a 1tb storage option

I love the device, I’ve had it since launch day after some tweaks this thing is running just how I want it. It can play everything I throw at it. It does require some knowledge of windows and how to set things up, tweaking settings ect…I sold my steam deck for the rog ally and I have zero regrets. Don’t listen to the negative reviews ! Always awesome buying with Best Buy they have the best hassle free returns

Plays every triple A title like a breeze. my only complaint is the battery life.

For how tiny this thing is- it is a powerhouse! I’m not a super tech savvy gamer and I didn’t want to spend $1,000+ on a laptop or desktop gaming computer. For $700 this thing is awesome! Plays my few steam games like a charm. BeamNG Drive and Destiny 2 work flawlessly with very very VERY little lag. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a small handheld that runs the full windows experience.

this is hands down one of the most impressive pieces of technology to date. with almost as much processing power as a series x or ps5 it’s genuinely hard to not want this device at this price point. it’s genuinely like having a mini computer in your hands, especially considering it’s all windows 11 based. the battery life isn’t too impressive, but that’s to be expected when you have such a small machine pumping out such a large amount of power. if you’re thinking about getting this machine think no longer.

Love it great for travel very powerful and can play just about anything

Absolutely amazing Windows handheld for the price. Comparable units would be $1099+ and wouldn't have that VRR/FreeSync screen and Z1 APU. It has some 1st gen issues, but as long as Windows isn't a foreign thing to you, you'll be fine as long as you didn't get a dud. If you want a console simpleton type of device then get a SteamDeck, in fact buy mine, it's been collecting dust despite my love for it.

Great system, would highly recommend! Just don’t have enough time these days to play as much as I would like!
