Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been a console gamer since since the NES. I've played them all and finaly took the plunge to the PC side of gaming. Setting this unit up was just like setting up a pc for work. Once everythimg was updated and the games installed it was some trial and error to get up and playing games. It's been a fun handheld ever sense. Keep your expectations in check and you wont be disappointed. If I can learn how to tweak games to get them to run anyone can. Yes the battery doesnt last long but when is the last time you didn't have a phone charger with you to use in a pinch?

Dose almost everything my main pc dose but literally on the go! Also that 1080 p screen looks so crispy I love it would highly recommend.

I’ve been always a fan of portable gaming. And eversince ive gotten my first PSP Ive been obsessed with handheld gaming. The ROG Ally is very satisfying to be able to play any games any where you take it. Although its a been an exhilarating experience it has its down sides. For example it has been known to break or cook sd card. In that regards Ive been afraid to put one on my own device fearing it might make my sd card reader unusable.

I bought this for my teenage son. He was looking at the Steam Deck but a lot of his favorite games are not on the Steam platform. After reading many reviews and comparisons for both sysytems i decided to go with this one. My son absolutely lives ut. He carries it around all through the house. It has great graphics, great battery life, great storage, and even more impressive operating speed. There isn't a game he has tried that didn't work flawlessly. Absolutely worth the money.

Very nice, playing a lot of games with no problems, just have to keep it plugged in while playing which isnt a big deal with some bigger games

I purchased an open box ROG Ally that has been considered good condition on the grounds that I will have a companion device that serve both my gaming and music production. I came knowing that there are issues with the SD card reader and the UI with Windows not being the best OS for a smooth gaming experience. From this… oh boy, did I fully underestimate the issues with this device and my overall customer satisfaction. What I did not expect is me trying to get this device repaired not a month after I owned for a potential battery or processor issue after power reset errors from gaming plugged in at 30W mode. What I did not expect is how this happened just outside of the 14 day return window. As I wait for potentially a month for this repair, I reflect on the issues folks have been getting and I am baffled by 1) ASUS quality control being lackluster and 2) Best Buy having the audacity to apply a 14-day return window for a device THEY know has a lot of issues. I honestly don’t know what could make this right, but I definitely don’t feel good with ASUS or Best Buy. ASUS for its history of being unreliable company when it comes to customer support and service. Best Buy by sticking to their guns with a hard return policy for a product with quality issues. I am not happy with this product from an experience standpoint. Get a steam deck or a Lenovo go instead. If buying PC components or a laptop, avoid ASUS.

I am impressed how powerful is. Can run any game, the only side effect which is solvable with an external battery is the internal battery duration

Nice device. Just needs more storage. Otherwise excellent screen and directly compatible w windows pc.

This is a nice device, it’s lighter than the steam deck and slightly more powerful. My only complaint would be that I wish it had a longer battery life.

Ticks a lot of tech boxes. Zen4/RDNA3, VRR/Freesync 48-120hz, 1080P, 512GB m.2 out of the box (easily expandable via direct drive replacement or via SD card). Can play just about anythint from AAA releases to indie games to emulating classic favorites. The onlu downsides is the battery life and initial setup. Asus also needs to homogenize the update process. Currently there are at least three platforms to receive updates and thats a pain

Runs so smooth and has a nice display! Feels nice and not too heavy either.

Great device for on the go or to use around the house . Graphics are great games run smooth. Love the rgb lighting on it. Highly recommend

First handheld PC after considering a Steam Deck, I’m glad I waited for this. Fantastic device, and plays everything I’ve thrown at it smoothly. Setup is just like any Windows PC, Armory Crate is a little buggy but overall works well, and most importantly I can play my favorite games on the go! Small con, not specific to my device. I know these are currently experiencing SD card issues, I personally don’t use that, but I would urge people to be wary of that if you do buy this and intend to use SD cards. Very happy with this, and would definitely recommend it!

I love it. It has some issues at times that involves a system restart, but honestly it doesnt really matter. Small price to pay for portable gaming B)

I use this to play steam games! It runs great and the screen is vibrant!

Great option when traveling! Battery life is limited, but if you are looking for a Windows based alternative to the SteamDeck, ASUS has you covered.

Really awesome for a handheld PC. Some issues with the SD card reader going bad because overheating issues; I've avoided that issue by not using it.

Such a good gaming handheld satifies all of my pc gaming needs. Super quick easy to carry definitely a good Christmas gift!

Would be 100% if it had a little longer battery but other than that, this thing is amazing

Great performance, perfect size, it’s a really useful device. Battery life could be better but physics is what it is.
