i take this bad boy with me to work and i convinced my coworker to get one and he loves it, i have been all these games i love at work when i get downtime and its worth every dollar, i never have any issue except for maybe the battery but i always charge my phone when i use it so there is t much of a difference

The Ally delivers into what is meant to do. A powerful mobile machine. I can take this thing everywhere, it’s a computer and console that plays runs and looks super smooth. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring with Asus Mobile devices. Excellent work here! Highly recommend, I’m a busy parent that can’t afford to sit for hours in front of a PC with this I can whip it out anytime and get some play time!

This device is great for gaming on the go. You should not expect this to play games on ultra settings. The battery life is hit or miss, and this not for non-technical. Highly recommend getting a technical friend to help set this up

I bought this on launch day and am super impressed with the screen, interface and performance however am having tons of issues running updates (whether they fail or pass, they pass installing and the updater doesnt realize it), to games randomly crashing or not installing. This really needs more time to be ready and should have been delayed instead of pushing for the initial release date. I will be returning mine this evening and going back to my Steam Deck for now. I'll reevaluate in a few months whether or not to upgrade then. For $700, this thing should be performing near flawless and it is not.

Im a Steam Deck fan-boy that LOVES the concept of handheld gaming. After having the Deck for over a year I have to say, the ROG Ally is better in almost EVERY way. While I actually prefer the ergonomics of the Deck, the Ally blows it away with performance, compatibility, and style. WHY AREN'T MORE REVIEWS MENTIONING THE SPEAKERS?? The Ally has 10x better sound! I'm loving the Ally and couldn't recommend it more.

It is a great device with full access to muliple different libraries. The battery life isnt the best especially when you play games like cyberpunk 2077 but its the norm with these kinds of machines. The Veriable Refresh Rate really makes the difference between other hand helds the inbuilt speakers actually sound pretty good especially if you use Dolby atmos.

I see a bunch of people knocking this device and always comparing it to the Steam deck. I owned a Deck and got tired of always searching the Net to figure what script I needed to get to work with my LG. To get it to recognize docks NVME drive. The straw that broke the camels back was novel voice over wouldn’t work and I was told to contact the game maker when it work on my PC and Mac. Steam deck is cool but a lot of Hupe. I dumped mine and got the ROG Ally. I’m so happy I’m not having to go to desktop enter in text to get functions to work. When did I become an employee of Steam? The Ally works really good for. Instead of having to tinker to get stuff to work I can actually go play. And because of the Windows OS I haven’t had a game not play. I don’t have to typ in scripts to get Xbox cloud to work. I just long into Battlenet x loud etc and it works. Yes the battery drains fast if you have the performance setting cranked up. To me the ROG Ally is a better experience than the Steam deck. I came to play games not work on a handheld. Put in the first day to do updates and downloads then after that just play. I feel the display quality is awesome. I’m just really happy with this unit so far. For me it is way less frustrating than the Steam Deck. They are two different handhelds with different strengths and weaknesses. But for me the ROG Ally was more fun and enjoyable to use. The only thing I don’t like is cost. And lastly Best Buy shipped this thing mad fast. I’m starting to really enjoy Best Buy again

Great performance and great portability. It is easy to carry than Steam deck and have windows 11 running smoothly. With latest update of Bios firmware and software update, you can pretty much customize all config based on your need per game. I can set up 920p with 18w for Baldurs gate 3 and can run medium setting smoothly and play over 1.5 hr. Going to sold my Steam deck.

Best handheld gaming device! Does well with all launchers and runs games with perfection!

Great product for gamers on the go! The setup was, as expected- for a windows 11 based handheld. Beyond setup and the constant need to be on charge- it’s honestly a fun little hot pocket. If you’re fluent with win11 and Armoury Crate- you’ll be fine. No issues with either of the two we’ve purchased this year!

I really love the Asus rog ally. I had bouyit originally to play games. But found out you can do everything you can on a PC. Gaming performance is dang good, I have only played Diablo 4 and cod mw2 on it so far and both play extremely smooth. The controls are comfortable as well. The screen on the Asus is amazing! Games show off their bling and movies are great as well.

I was torn between purchasing this ,the STEAM DECK. Or a PS5. There are games on PS that I cant play on XBOX so I figured with tne ROG I could hook it up to TV and play and take on the go.I glad I purchased the Asus ROG. The battery life is not the best. Also set some time aside for inital setup as there ate quite a few UPDATES. After that it was smooth sailing . BTW the graphics on this look amazing

It’s been pretty awesome having this all my friends and I have been playing hell divers too and fallout four on it. It is amazing. I’ve steam on it and I’m also able to play all of my Xbox titles on it. It is a fantastic portable gaming device and if you’re ever on the go or traveling, I definitely recommend it!

This little gaming PC is a beast! I am not a PC user and have used MAC OS most of my life and to be honest, it’s frustrating to do all those PC updates. Don’t expect this thing to work like a plug and play thing because you will need to do LOTS of updates for it to function right. (For beginners reference) You’re gonna have to update the 1. System 2. AMD 3. Armory Crate I had to admit it, it was a pain in the butt but once you do all of it, you’re all set. (Just need to check for updates once in a while.) I own a Steam deck OLED, because I hate doing lots of tinkering and I LOVE my steam deck but now, I find myself picking this up more to play if I am at home or somewhere I could plug it because this thing eats up batter fast and that’s a disadvantage. If you’re a player who loves graphics, PICK THIS UP. You won’t regret it. Refresh rate is 120fps you’ll get that smooth fluid graphics you will never get from the steam deck. (Well, 60fps vs 120fps is incomparable) LIMITLESS GAMING library. After I did an SSD upgrade I LOVE this thing even MORE. This is perfect for PC users but if you hate lots of tinkering and updating, get a steam deck.

This thing is a beast of a gaming experience. Upon ordering I was a bit skeptical due to some of the reviews stating bad BIOS updates, fried SD card issues and joystick dead zone issues but I have not had any of the issues stated. Given I opted out of using an SD card and instead updated the SSD to a 2TB. The initial windows set up was a bit of a pain but once you get through that it works like a dream.

Very solid gaming device. I use it for all my retro games and modern pc. Mostly 720p with medium settings on the moat demanding, and runs everything up to ps3 great. Screen quality is very good with the 120hz 1080p.

I freaking love it! I have a steam deck and its a great handheld, but the Ally is superior in a lot of ways. The Ally's controls, power and weight are the main plus for me, but the only downside is the windows 11 bloat and slightly janky UI. Overall thought it's a fantastic purchase and I would personally recommend it over all the options if you want a great handheld PC at a decent price point.

For the past week or so i have enjoyed quite alot of games and titles with this device and I am always in shock of how well games are being runned on this device. Although there are some issues such as the battery life, apart from that it’s really a great system to play games on at home or on the go. I am really looking forward to what this device has to offer in terms of updates as this is only the start!

While it is practically a mini pc. I enjoy that I can play my games from Xbox, Steam, EA, & Epic games that I play on my laptop. It does get hot when performance is set at turbo and will use the battery quickly. I usually use Silent mode or 15w performance to keep battery a little longer. I also upgraded to 1tb nvme to add more games hit also have a 1TB micro for additiononal storage.

Amazing product and puece of technology. I preffer this so much more over a steam deck. The windows 11 on this which most peoole say is a downside is honestly easy to use and the Amory Crate makes it even better. Its perfect for playing your PC games in bed and not having to sit at your desktop set up. It does everything i want it to do
