Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is my life. I use it for everything and bring it everywhere. It’s more powerful than I had expected it to be. The battery options are a lifesaver. When docked I set it to turbo and when I’m on the go I set it to quiet and the battery lasts longer than expected. I did have to send it in for support for the SD card reader. But it was repaired and sent back within a week.

One positive criterion for the Asus ROG Ally is its exceptional gaming performance. The ROG Ally is equipped with high-end components and powerful hardware, allowing it to handle demanding games with ease. Its advanced graphics capabilities, fast processing speed, and ample memory ensure smooth gameplay and immersive visual experiences. Gamers can enjoy playing the latest titles at high settings without experiencing lag or performance issues, making the Asus ROG Ally a great choice for gaming enthusiasts.

The device itself is great but if you plan on playing on the go or using it for long periods bring a exterbal battery. It lasts about an hour before needing a charge. Also, i reccomend upgrading the storage

I'm loving my Rog Ally It's essentially a hand held laptop to play all my games. i had choice between this and steam deck. however i'm more comfortable with window 11 than linux so i chose this. the Ally is also more powerful than the steam deck. the only major fault i have against the Ally is the horrible battery life. however the Ally does combat that weakness with fast charging.

This portable console is very powerful and great to use. I've had no issues with it since day 1 and love to play it at home and on vacation.

I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this over the other handheld out there. Windows actually runs pretty well on here. Every game that I have played very well on the rog ally. The screen is great! Textures, colors, and brightness are all stellar. I like to play with it plugged in so I can keep it in performance mode, but even with it unplugged and on the go it runs great for a fair amount of time.

I love my rog Ally. It suits my needs fully. Highly suggested. I know it gets a bit of hate online but something to consider is that a lot of these people are serious gamers who want the same experience they get on their pc and at the moment thats just not possible, think how many expensive parts go into making a pc run that well then come back and compare it to a 700 dollar handheld pc. So far I’ve had no problem playing everything in my library, and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it because I got this for the ability to play whatever game I can get my hands on anywhere I’am unlike the steam deck which is forced to pretty much just running and launching steam games, I know there’s ways around this now but who wants to have to download and install programs to do what the Ally could do fresh out the box on a Steamdeck. Also size was a big selling point for me I wanted something that was portable and the steam deck and Lenovo go are just too big for me the ally is the perfect size fits well in my hands and does not weigh much, for me personally is comfortable. Now I know a lot of people are gonna get turned off by the battery life but a 65w power bank can fix this. Y’all need to keep in mind that this little handheld is really powerful and as a result the battery life takes a hit I don’t mind having power over battery as I’ve managed to fulfill my gaming needs on the go perfectly with this, I can get a full hour of gaming during my break at work and still have good amount of battery left so I’m satisfied! P.s storage is pretty low but It’s sooo easy to change for that it still gets a 5 from me!

Very good handheld gaming PC. Very light and portable. The downsides are heat and battery.

I purchased and returned this device on the same day. As a systems admin with a strong knowledge of Windows, I didn’t encounter issues with the operating system. However, the battery life was a major concern. Within just 20 minutes of playing, the battery drained from 100% to 72%. Even simple tasks, like setting up and loading a game like Halo Infinite, took up a considerable amount of time. Additionally, the SD card reader ended up damaging my SD card. On a positive note, the graphics quality was impressive, and the device’s lightweight design was a plus. If you’re an avid PC gamer, you might appreciate this device, or consider alternatives like the Steam Deck or Lenovo Go. Personally, I’m content with my Xbox X, PS5, and Switch. The setup process was straightforward, taking no longer than an hour. I’ve given it three stars for its lightweight build, nice screen, comfortable controls, and easy setup. However, the battery life, slow game loading times, and the SD card reader issues were disappointing and should be noted.

I recently purchased the ASUS ROG Ally, and it's an outstanding device. The performance is top-notch, handling demanding games with ease. The display is vibrant and crisp, enhancing the gaming experience. Its design is sleek and comfortable for long sessions. The customizable RGB lighting is a nice touch. Highly recommended for serious gamers!

Not perfect for everyone but it's perfect for me. Have a lot of freedom with windows and less tweaking that needs to be done. Also game compatibility plays a big role and is the reason i play it more than my steam deck. Also can make it as powerful as a desktop with a xg mobile for an extra 800. I just really appreciate how versatile it is. Biggest issue is the battery but is to be expected. Overall really hope they continue supporting this and that they come out with another one but not too soon.

To potential buyers, know what you are buying, this is not a console. It runs windows 11 and understand you will not be using it as a computer when in handheld mode. It’s a great device plays tons of games flawlessly, but again, you will Not be running AAA titles at max graphics at 120hz. Battery life is what you make of it. Set your games properly and you will get 2 hours per session easy. Don’t expect to play for 6+ hours. I recommend this to gamers with above average intelligence.

The perfect gaming handheld with only one downside. This will play whatever game you want and look beautiful while doing it. The only downside is the battery only last 4 hours at best and usually 1-2 hours depending on what game you play. If you purchase this make sure to get a power bank also that can output 65w+ for when you're not near an outlet.

I loved this game system, its an amazing piece of hardware, needs a better battery and bigger ssd space though.

It's an undeniably cool concept, but poor battery life and the faulty card reader and triggers make it tough to recommend this iteration. The right trigger no longer works on my ally, so any game that makes use of it is largely unplayable. It's such a shame because the performance is really impressive.

I've had the Ally for a little over a week and it has been great. Very easy to use and set up. Windows 11 is a breeze to walkthrough even though they spam you with privacy notices at the start which I recommend skipping. Overall the system runs pretty well and performance is solid across the board. Given time I'm sure ASUS will have this fully updated on the software side with little to no hiccups. Most games will need to be reviewed within their own settings to get the best performance possible.

I love this thing. I also love my steam deck. However this one ups the steam deck in nearly every category. The capability of the hardware is incredible. I do belive it needs more software refinement (just as my steam deck did at launch). I have no doubt that they will continue to improve this device via updates to unleash its full potential. Great job Asus! Being able to boot up ANY game i want to play without having to jump through hoops is incredible. Especially if you are a gamepass subscriber.

a tiny powerful handheld PC that is only bothered by short battery life and how awful Windows 11 is as a touch screen operating system at this small scale. But paired with the right accessories and some battery packs. This mobie gaming device is amaizing! get 40 fps or more on lots of AAA titles and plays indies with ease.

Good for on the go gaming battry cuoukd be better but overall i enjoy it

With all these handhelds coming out. This one has to be my favorite. If you know windows then this will be a breeze to operate. I wish they didn’t rush it after they announced the console because there are a lot of bugs and a crucial sd card reader problem currently going on. I was one of the unfortunate ones that my sd card reader stopped working. Other that that an amazing device!
