Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great system so far with and without its flaws been about a month and couple weeks and can say it’s great system for the money … not saying that it’s better in optimization then steam deck because steam deck is still a easier and better experience when playing games. ROG ally is better performance the steam deck but still needs couple updates to make system run great and as flawless as steam deck … I would definitely pick one up if you haven’t yet …

Excellent device for portable gaming and an absolute emulation power house I was amazed with how well it ran games straight out of the box (Starfield, Hitman3, Hogwarts etc..) but after some fine tuning and tweaking with a 1600x900 res mod this thing can run almost anything with the right settings mind you this isn't as easy of a setup experience as the steamdeck but it's well worth it especially since it outperforms it by leaps and bounds. I highly recommend investing in larger internal storage down the line since 512gb will go by in a flash.

Bought a asus ally z1 extreme. Coming from steam deck it blows the gpu power and screen quality! But i find windows 11 not that easy to use from controls and instaling games. :( the sad part is the battery it only lasted 50mins on forza horizon 5 or 2 fortnite battle and 18% left from 95% If your a techy type of guy this one is for you. Kudos to bestbuy for having awesome customer service!

The ROG Ally is an excellent on the go PC that is similar to the steam deck. the interface and controller setting does take some getting used to and its unique interface and setting system armory is a helpful tool to adapt the controller to any game. As somebody who is generally skeptical on new handhelds, this is a positive experience and smoothly plays a variety of games in a quality performance. This is an excellent PC to help you work on going through your backlog of games on the go.

I love this console and also I very happy with best buy service very easy warranty procces

Battery life is not good. If you want a portable gaming machine to play without being plugged in then buy the Ally x instead. Pretty good performance though.

This handheld came in great condition and is fantastic for someone that doesn't have time to sit too often like me. It's appropriately powerful and offers a multitude of options for modifications. All in all it's a great handheld and powerful computer.

Incredible display, speakers, and very good performance. That's all great, but Asus decided against proper QC and now I'm one of many with a dead/malfunctioning SD card reader. Their communication with this has been relatively poor and I simply cannot recommend it until this is properly addressed.

I love this unit. I realize it's not for everyone as it's based on Windows 11. However, I supported Windows for 25 years in my career and my desktops, laptops, and tablets are all based on Windows so this works for me. Because it's essentially a handheld PC I can run Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, Steam, Ubisoft, and more on it. They have a nice interface to give you quick access to the apps you've installed. It responds very well, has okay battery life, and feels comfortable in my hands.

I love this thing. I use it both as a portable gaming device and as a small personal computer. If you want the windows experience this is it.

When you're an esports player who goes out a lot, this is for you. But the battery life is not satisfactory. Performance can meet almost all games (60fps)

It's better than any other portable console. Rivals gaming laptops in power, I love mine

Great product overall from qaulity, feel, value, and performance. The first cons is the battery life is limited on most titles. Probably an hour max on higher end titles. Low resource games you can play for a long time. The second con is the user expierance is definitely for someone more technically inclined. Not as simple as a plug and play console but if you are looking at this device you probably are a more technically inclined person.

Has to the the best handheld I've used. Haven't had one issue. Only wish the battery lasted long but that's what ya get for it being small.

This is my first handheld PC gaming experience and it has been a really solid one. I have been lucky and not had a single issue, but i am also worried that there might not be consistent support for the device. If you dont have the Steam deck, i would definitely pick-up the Ally as it feels cutting edge. If you want something reliable for now though, I would jump towards the steam deck. I want this to succeed, so hopefully we continue to get support!

Good product, however, many small issues trying to play PC games on a handheld device that is running windows and attempting to mimic a console.

The ally is an awesome on the go pc. As well as it works great as a midrange pc if you purchase the power cord that has the hdmi. Then you can run it with a monitor with mouse and keyboard. Pretty awesome!!!

Excellent portable console, Very good quality and performance

Great, but battery needs to improve. Good screen! Controls are fine

Was very hard to use and set up, basically a handheld PC with good graphics, don't care for the touch screen typing only, seemed to run warm when updating. Overall was ok for what it offers
