Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not bad, plays most games. Battery sucks so you have to be connected to power most of the times or get a battery bank and maybe get an extra 2 hours.

Hands down the best handheld ive had in my hands! Performance is next to flawless on just about anything ive thrown at it. Runnin just about every game ive played at 100-130FPS without any problems. Dont let bad reviews from reveiwers that obviously dont know how to use a computer lead you away from this! First thing you should do is hop into the AMD settings software and tweak settings to your liking and boom. this thing becomes a major powerhouse! have had ZERO issues with over heating, zero issues playing any game i could possibly want. Dont hesitate, snag one!

This little handheld is awesome. It played everything I threw at it with a few tweaks here and there with no issue. Unfortunately, it was a little small for my hands and it made them cramp after long gaming sessions. I returned mine for that reason alone. From what I understand the Ally X is coming soon with bigger grips so I returned and per-ordered that one. Hopefully it feels better in the hand.

Works well and looks great and it is very comfortable to play but the only down side is of course the battery life

Really fun and convenient to bring outside the house

Love the versatility of it this device, can game in so many ways, wish there was more storage and a bit better battery life, my only cons

Overall a great device. If you want a device with no restrictions and no compatible issues and with awesome power for a handheld then this if for you. just beware of normal windows problems. Don't expect to have a smooth console like experience with this device like the steamdeck. There are lots of pros with this device as well as lots of cons. Just be sure that the pros outweight the cons for your specific use case.

I know there have been a ton of people claim defects and issues since day one, and this is my own personal experience, but i haven't had a single issue you yet** knock on wood*. There is a bit of setup that has a learning curve for anyone not firmliar with windows OS, but being a "PC Gamer" im not shy to jumping right into it. There have been no issues with the sdcard reader (I'm using a samsung pro plus), my entire steam library, epic games and gog with a copious amount of roms on it all run smooth. I have no regrets and have no intention of returning my unit.

I have all the consoles, a desktop and a laptop PC so I'm familiar with gaming on Windows. The original setup is easy if you rememner it's a hand held PC. I recommend hooking the Ally up to a docking station to run windows updates, install steam, game pass etc. and after that you will be ready to roll. Price is great when on sale, and I hear the SD card slot overheats and destroys your SD cards. Those are my only reasons for 4 stars and not 5. Oh and yes it plays Modern Warfare III.

I thought I'd fall in love with the ROG Ally, but it was a complicated, one-sided relationship at times. I tried to reach out, but communication just wasn't there. Difficult to understand, unwilling to negotiate, doesn't look me in the eyes anymore. But that's okay, because now I'm setting my sights on other handhelds, and the Ally will see what it's missing. A handheld that understands me and meets me at my level of intellect (it was honestly just too complicated for me)

I have wanted the steam deck for awhile and then followed the ROG ally news. This thing is a beast, its powerful, its mostly quiet, it doesn't run super hot, its comfortable to hold. Runnings full windows to some is a negative but the interface works very well when using the asus software. Battery life is about what you would expect running a portable PC. Diablo 4 for 1.5 hours took me from 100% to 54% (so approximately 3 hours) the charger though gets this thing topped off rather quickly. Oberall my experience has been super positive. Negative reviews seem to be based off the company vs the product. If you want a portable PC this thing is the way to go, the specs alone will make this thing relevant for years.

Blows my steam deck out of the water. As long as you treat it as a PC, as far as installing all updates, it has been absolutely wonderful. I'm okay with a 1.5 hours battery due to the performance I get.

Works reasonably well, recent update seems to limit the use of the joysticks for some things. Some game compatibility isn’t ideal. I’d suggest looking around a bit on reddit or other channels for whatever games you’re intending to use it on to see how well it does or doesn’t work.

Excellent little on the go setup. Surprised the capability to run large developer games. You aren't missing a thing gaming wise with this.

Great graphics; gives benefits of gaming without having to purchase expensive laptop or being tied to a stationary console. .

Perfect handheld gaming machine. I have it with me everywhere. Powerful and portable. But you sure need to bring powerbank and you can enjoy your games whenever you go.

The perfect device for on the go also fast and easy

Great for on the go or if your traveling. You can connect to a TV or monitor or play handheld. Games are pretty graphic and sweet.

fantastic gameing device plays most modern games at med-high settings flawlessly integrated gpu hardly effects gameplay n its easy to tweek when you need more vram overall happy with it plays better with better stats then the more expensive steam deck with more compatibility to games with the built in controler configuration.

I've actually played with it more than my steamdeck, Aya neo and Aya neo air combined. Just the feel and comfort also with its lightweight nature and the ease of tdp controls, controller settings, brightness with the reach of my thumb is very convenient, making my gaming experience a whole lot easier. I started with the Aya Neo 2 years ago so my personal experience with the battery compared to Ally is very acceptable. We are still years away in having the technology for battery optimization. Ppl should stop complaining about battery life. It doesn't even get that hot, if anything my Aya neo and Aya neo air runs a lot hotter and the heat dissipation is actually not bad. Please read manual before use.
