Customer Ratings & Reviews

Plays great, for a short period of time. AAA titles will give you roughly 1-1.5 hours of playtime, so far so good! Typically im playing during my lunch break and an hour is just the right amount

The ASUS ROG ALLY is quite literally the best bang for your buck handheld, by far. I picked up a 2TB m.2 to swap the original 512GB and was quite impressed at how simple and straightforward the installation of the drive was. Alao, the reinstallation of the operating system was very simple and straightforward as well. Man, I primarily use it for retro gaming but works well with my XBOX Game pass. I can't stop talking about this device. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Pretty much a compact gaming computer. Display is unbelievable. Some issues with built-in controls on the more processor involved games. Going on vacation with me. Only draw back is battery life

Its daily use with jobs, applications or videos works well for Windows 11, I recommend having a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor for more comfortable use. Only with games: It works perfectly, although the battery issue becomes a limitation, but when connected to the charger it can be used quite well.

Love my Ally, I enjoy the work needed to make this device suit me. I understand it is not plug and play for most things. Great machine, lots to do and fine tune. Lots to learn and tinker with. Runs my emulators easily and runs Diablo. Cons are the battery life, its not necessarily bad. I get about an hour ad a half playing Fallout New Vegas on High settings and in performance mode. For me that's about the time I have to play a game usually uninterrupted so this works. There aren't many accessories, it is a guessing game with 3rd party cases at the moment. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys the project of setting up a device and satisfaction of learning through trial and error. I wouldn't recommend it to someone coming from a home console expecting a similar experience.

Is a useful device if you wanna play games while you're out. It would be helpful if you keep it plugged in because the battery does run out pretty quick

As a handheld lover I have put tons of hours into this device. The battery life and SD card issue leave some things to be desired but Ive had very few issues with this thing.

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.

Amazing portable gaming powerhouse! Beats the steam deck in every way except being a console. This beast is a full fat windows 11 PC and will play almost every pc game you own. It's a tweekers dream, I was able to squeeze 100+ frames out of doom E and play call of duty when doody called.

The device definitely has some heating issues and sometimes has some performance problems, but with a few updates everything got fixed and the device works great

It’s a portable computer. It can play games or you can dock and use it as a desktop. Wait until it’s on sale to get it for the best price. Other than that zero complaints. Average space, but most likely will need to utilize cloud playing when on WiFi.

Great piece of tech. Have been using this to play some newer games i've missed since getting rid of my PC. Was able to run most modern games at 60 fps with some quick adjustment to the settings. Battery life leaves a lot to be desired but thats to be expected for what this handheld is doing.

If you have a steam deck and want the ally, it would be like upgrading from a gtx 1660 to an rtx 3050 ti. The jump in fps is mind boggling. Beamng runs monster trucks at around a solid 50 fps on any map, bo3 gets around 70/80 on everything maxed, modern warfare 2019 gets 60 fps on high settings and spider man remastered gets 30/40 fps on high settings and because it’s amd, the graphics chip hasn’t even reached its full potential and is nowhere near reaching its full potential as the device is so new. After lots of updates, it will be able to run pretty much anything you throw at it. Very good device and have been absolutely loving it so far.

Compared to a steam deck, it is noticeably smaller and lighter which minimizes fatigue to the wrists. The faster refresh rate on the small screen seems to ease the strain of focusing your eyes on fast moving scenes. I was not offered to purchase an ROG XG Mobile eGPU Dock which bothered me somewhat at the time as the prices for them on ASUS website was not the same as in store. It can be a very vital component in the productive use of this handheld and essentially unlocks the potential of the device as both a powerful 8 core 16 thread DDR5 computational machine and a portable home entertainment device which can fully utilize the high refresh rates of modern televisions. My ROG Ally will completely replace my entire home desktop and have a smaller footprint as well as use less electricity overtime with just the addition of an ASUS - ROG XG Mobile eGPU Dock - AMD Radeon RX 6850 XT in particular which has the HDMI 2.1 so that i would be able to run an LG C2 at 120Hz, and also a QHD monitor via display port

This is a very capable gaming laptop shoved into very compact portable platform. It runs Windows 11 and all of my EA, Steam, and other games with ease. If you are looking for an ultra compact gaming platform that checks all the boxes, then order this today!

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

Love it. Takes a bit to get everything set up but once it's working it works great. I have a pc but currently don't have much time to sit at it to game so this let's me game on the go.

Ally is pretty decent. There are some bizarre QA issues and running Windows occasionally dictates doing a random restart to get things working again, but I can't complain too much. Battery life is laughably bad, making launch day Switch seem like a top tier battery. Most games just work though, and it has enough power in the highest W profile mode to run a lot of fairly demanding games at low settings. Your mileage will vary here, though, depending on what your expectations are. If you have no PC and prefer this form factor, it's a good purchase. If you have a laptop, PC, or Steam Deck, it's hard to recommend.

This handheld is amazing. It is basically a ps4 pro portable. The only issue is the sd card slot is defective due to the wrong position of it next to the heat fan.

Excellent 100% satisfied amazing bought as a open box item
