Customer Ratings & Reviews

A fantastic handheld PC, it plays all of my games at acceptable settings. The screen looks fantastic, especially when 120hz is enabled.

This thing is AWESOME! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Anything you can do on a PC you can do on here. Nice smooth 120hz screen. Highly recommend!

AWESOME so great. Very portable loved thing device. Very powerful

The perfect windows hanheld for people who want a premium experience at the cost of battery life. Excellent, bright 120hz screen with shockingly vibrant and extensive color gamut.

Once you realize what the device actually is and how to properly use it to its advantages, it is awesome and something gamer have dreamed of for decades. Paired with GamePass, you can take entire game titles offline and play them whenever, wherever you want. Hooked up to a monitor and keyboard/mouse and you have a small yet capable desktop. I would recommend trying one out to see how much it can do.

I am very happy with my purchase, the Asus Ally addressed all my personal issues with the Steam Deck (screen, game pass support, speakers) Now the biggest elephant in the room is is it better than a Steam Deck? Honestly it depends on you as a gamer. If you are going to want to play more AAA games then the Ally all day. If you want simplicity, comfort, and still play most games the Steam Deck is the winner. I believe long term the Steam Deck will be the winner but the Ally is a wonderful device to add a touch of competition. In terms of the reviewss saying its buggy. I guess not many of them used a steam deck within the first six months of release.

Plays games amazingly on high settings, portability is great solid system tbh

Love this gamer. It's strong point is it's hardware and that it has windows 11. It's weak points are it's battery life and that it has windows 11. I know I know but it's true. Having windows means I can run any game in my steam library. But because it has windows means it can be a bit quirky at times. That being said the lil quirks from windows isn't enough to detract from how great this handheld is. Would absolutely recommend to any pc gamer who wants a handheld. Be prepared to have it plugged in most of the time though.

The best and far above the rest. Just like having a gaming laptop. Just handheld. Ive had no issues. Battery life 3 out of 5 stars. I love asus products. No complaints.

Runs Baldurs gate 3 with ease, but the battery drains pretty fast on highest settings. Stardew valley runs for about 4 hrs on the lowest setting.

I went in thinking that this thing is going to stink. But I realize that its not that bad at all. I was terrified that my sd card reader was going die, never did. It plays all my games with great performance. I took one star away because of all the sd readers that died. But fingers crossed that mine doesn't die. My best advice is if you know nothing about windows dont buy it but if you had a laptop in the past you will feel quite at home with this one.

First of all, I got this on release day as an impulse buy. Had no idea about it nor did I do any research. I own two Assus laptops and have been very happy. I mean its Asus! How bad can it be? Well, pretty bad it turns out. The product is made out of cheap feeling plastic. The joysticks have no tension at all. I have no idea how they get back in center position on their own. I literally can't feel it move sometimes. The thing gets very hot and loud. Battery life is insanely bad, just keep it plugged in. There is a 3 sec delay to register input 80% of the time. Armoury crate is an abomination, but I already knew that. If I knew that's what they used I would have never purchased it. I have only Steam installed because when trying to install other platforms like Ubisoft I literally can't type in my login info. It simply doesn't register. Same goes for Rockstar and GOG Galaxy. After reading the reviews I have come to realize that, apparently, it is perfectly acceptable to charge $699 plus tax and be a beta tester for Asus. People are expecting that the device will be great in about a year (assuming Asus dedicates enough effort into maintaining and improving this product) and thus rating the device positively. Maybe I'm old school but for this kind of money I expect a premium feeling device with smooth user experience and top notch performance. You literally get none of that with this device. Complete trash. Will be returning it.

I like to use it to play some steam games, you can lie down to play, play while waiting, and can also connect to the TV, watching movies and playing games are very good.

This device will allow you to game anywhere. It is able to go from being a powerhouse handheld to a desktop (with the eGPU) teir performance. Try it out.

got it open box and i has been amazing, runs games nice and since its windows you can play basically anything on it.

Better display and more power than the Steam Deck. Yes, Windows isn’t ideal, but its fine. More compatibility than SteamOS. Battery isn’t great but adults know how to manage.

I only play a few PC games. I hate desktops and i didnt want to buy a new laptop for gaming. I decided to give the ROG a chance. It has played every game i like perfectly. Having my games portable was a great option.

Fun. Agile. As promised. Very pleased. I do get concerned about possible over heating, but haven’t had any issues.

changed the way i game, can play any game i want wherever i want, is a game changer for sure

Love this! My wife and I had been gaming on the Nintendo switch for about 2 years. Handhelds is our preference because it allows for us to game with our little one, and we can all sit together. Highly recommend the Rog Ally if you are interested in handheld gaming. This is miles ahead of the switch, and with windows 11 we can play many more games. I have used the Ally for projects outside of gaming, and have had no issues. LinkedIn and Microsoft office both work wonderfully. Hope this helps anyone who is questioning this purchase.
