Customer Ratings & Reviews

its a great unit that allows you to actually play on the go. the battery life isnt the greatest, but it lets me sit in bed and play my favorite games while taking care of my newborn which is exactly what i wanted. it plays most games at decent settings at 60+ fps while laying in bed or sitting on the couch. Its a little bit funny to get going, but if youre already a pc user then it should be no problem at all. love it.

Really impressive for a handheld windows based gaming PC. Runs Diablo 4 and Destiny 2 better than the steamdeck, but you really need to have a battery pack permanently attached. If you get the 65w wall adapter you can output to a monitor or tv and play with controller on a larger screen seamlessly at 1080p / 60 hz or better

This is a good strong handheld system for those who would want to play pc titles on the go. The battery life does run down extremely quick when playing games. Anyways I enjoyed playing on this and the fact rdr2 runs at a high frame rate on medium/high settings is incredible.

Awesome little device. Reasonably powerful, solid graphics. Windows could be better, lack of ram can slow things down a bit, and j had to upgrade the battery for it to last long.

I love it but the battery runs out quick. I have 2 - 3 hours of play time sometimes only 1 hour if running a AAA game. The graphics are amazing and screen is good but the main reason I bought was the portability. If I always have to leave it charging then what’s the point

I LOVE my ROG Ally. It plays my emulators fantastically (even Switch emulation!) The device is responsive and glitches are few and far in betweeen. For someone who sometimes travels for work and mainly uses a desktop, this serves my on-the-go and on the couch gaming effortlessly. Only knock I would give is the battery life, but I don't think this product is worse than others in this form factor!

Good gaming handheld, much higher quality than a switch for example. The screen is nice. I use this exclusively at home, so I always have the charger plugged in, which eliminates the battery life problem. The only problems I have had have been intermittent internet connectivity problems, and docking. I bought a dock on Amazon for $30, and the docking experience had been almost a deal breaker. Don't expect to be able to plug this in and use it like you would a switch. It is a Windows PC, so if you don't have a mouse and keyboard to operate it from your couch, good luck. Also I could only get the audio to work half the time while docked, it took a few tries to get a playable game running. You have to launch the game and get it all set up and in-game, then dock it. Overall it works well as expected, just the docking had been terrible, and the internet a few times. I actually tried to return this after 17 days, but they have a 14 day return policy. It is a lot of money, so make sure you are willing to part with ~800 dollars for the system, a case, and the dock.

The ROG Ally is an awesome device when it works, allowing easy playing on the go of nearly your entire PC library (with the exception of maybe some of the most cutting-edge games, though it can probably run those at low settings). It also delivers great value docked (docks purchased separately) and can target your handheld and home-based gaming needs very well. That said, the Ally isn't without its issues. The Windows 11 interface can be cumbersome to manage, and all the hiccups of PC gaming come with this device, including cleaning up files, optimizing performance, and fiddling with controls. There are also some well-documented technical issues with the Ally as of this review, the most notorious being the early death of its SD card reader. If you choose an Ally over a Steam Deck, you'll be trading convenience and ease of use for a larger breadth of games and more performance (with some added liability). Gauge your needs and comfort level and choose wisely!

Runs everything very well for a portable computer. A storage upgrade is a must but the internal SSD was very easy to replace and many of the components are modular if one wears out or gets damaged. Overall a very solid device.

Honestly for a handheld PC it works great. Obviously not that powerful but ran perfectly fine for all the things I was playing, only issue with the device was space, but switching out the SSD was easy enough to do on my own. Overall very satisfied with my purchase would recommend to people who can afford it of course.

I enjoy playing on my mobile pc, but the only issue I have with the item is the battery life and how hot it gets quickly. Which it is fun to utilize, but those are my only issues

I love then thing , literary replaced my PC fir most of my week. Play every lunch Break i get at work. More powerful then the steamdeck and plays my whole steam library with no issues . Battery life isn't a issue and screenis amazing. I upgraded tje Ssd to a 1tb took maybe 4 mins. Asus has a windows cloud recovery that install windows back with all the Ally drivers.

The ASUS ROG Ally is a gaming handheld that redefines portable gaming. With its powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and 120Hz FHD display, this device delivers stunning visuals and buttery-smooth gameplay. The comfortable design and intuitive controls make it a joy to use for extended gaming sessions. The ROG Ally's versatility is impressive. It can be used as a standalone gaming console or connected to a larger display to become a powerful gaming PC. The Steam Deck compatibility ensures access to a vast library of games, further enhancing its appeal. While it might come with a premium price tag, the ROG Ally offers an unparalleled gaming experience on the go. If you're a serious gamer who demands top-notch performance and portability, this handheld is a must-have.

My son bought this for him self and says that it runs games super good, loves the portability of it cause he travels a lot, he is considering buying the newer one for his gf that loves to play video games on the go as well!

Great handheld, love playing, easy to take places and has great graphics. Just had two issue with it stopped working but they haven't gave me a problem getting it fixed. It also just dies a little to fast.

The power it provides is unimaginable to me in this form factor. I use it for gaming , browsing and watching contents and it delivers excellence through vision and sound quality. Battery backup works well for my needs. Every device drains faster when you push them really high. It even hits 53 APU WATT while playing high end games on plugged turbo mode. Comparing the performance ,the price is really cheap. Its feels like something from future as I wasn't ready for this masterpiece. It can run everything smooth enough to convince you to buy one. I love my rog Ally.

I’ve had the Rog Ally for a couple weeks now, and love it. I originally purchased the Steam Deck, but Linux was way too comolicated for me to figure out. I got tired of having to watch youtube vidoes just to do something simple like mod The Sims. Enter the Rog Ally-I’m much more comfortable with Windows as we use it for work, and I used to have an asus computer. This little mini computer is powerful, and I can easily play The Sims anywhere, and modding is so easy as well. The battery life could be improved, I do find myself having to leave it plugged in while I play. Which should be fine even for travel, since each plane seat has their own plug now adays. Overall, I’ve wanted a hanheld for The Sims for years, so for me this is worth the money. It’s also a lot smaller and fits more comfortably in my hands then the Steam Deck.

Pros: it’s a windows machine. Cons: Its a windows machine. Out of the box, i had some driver versions and current update issues. They werent playing nice so i had to reinstall basically all of the AMD drivers to get adrenaline to even update so i could open it. Out of the box even with that issue, my user experince was about a 7/10. After fixing the issue, im at about a 9/10. Thinking about this device in anyway other than a laptop with attacted peripherials is probably going to leave you disapointed. Is it ULTRA portable? Yes. But its incredibly powerful AND small… theres going to have to be a give for the take somehwere and for this version of this device specifically, thats the battery. Youre not going to get far away from the wall with the settings cranked just like you cant expect your laptop to run the latest AAA title for hours and hours on end. It is what it is, welcome to the real world. Youll still get plenty of playtime if you adjust accordingly (i had a three hour flight and still had battery left to go another 40-45 mins playing Sekiro) The build quality is incredible, all the buttons and joysticks are lovely. Crisp and clean. The audio is surprisingly great. The screen is not offensive in any way, text even looks good… after fixing some buggy things and optimizing windows, the things a powerhouse but it does take time and adjustments to dial it in for ehat you want it to do and how youre going to be using it. That being said, this is my favorite thing that i have spent money on in the past five years. Youll be very happy if you dont ask it to be something that it wasnt meant to be!

I absolutely love the ROG Ally! It is my go to gaming device now. It is powerful and ergonomic enough to smoothly run titles that I would like on a handheld, as well as emulation is amazing. I use it mostly on the couch or on the bed with something running on the background. I have played games like Forza Horizon 5, Dishonored, and a bunch of others, as well as played a lot of emulator games. The only downside is the battery life. Totally recommended.

It does what it's supposed to. Great hand held PC gaming experience. Battery life isn't the best and you'll find you may need to upgrade your internal SSD. As the micro SD card slots can fry your external cards. Otherwise it's an awesome gaming experience
