Customer Ratings & Reviews

Device is amazing worked as expected. The SD reader died but that is now a know flaw from the manufacturer. Sent it in to Asus and it was repaired.

Love it so much more than my Steam Deck. The battery isn't fantastic but not a problem if you don't mind being plugged in.

I cant recommend thw rog ally enough. Was sceptical but it completely blew me away playing AAA games smooth and is super convenient.

This little handheld is super powerful. Plays any triple A game at great frame rates. Battery is not that great but i carry a battery pack with me so not to big of a deal breaker i would recommend this to a friend.

The screen is awesome, comfortable to hold for long periods of play. The battery life is a joke, but it's great for short play sessions during my lunch break.

Good performance, great screen. Runs silent. However, since the screen is 1080p I seem to get similar performance to the SteamDeck @ 800p.

Has been an amazing unit so far beside the SD card reader it has burnt up my card in a day but doesn’t affect anything else and it still works just make sure you do not use it until asus figures out what’s wrong

Happy with this Rog still runs wonderful. I also use this to program my 3d printer

Im a very dedicated gamer, i dont compete but its what i love to do. My primary gaming PC is very nice, 20 core CPU (hyperthreaded), 3080, liquid cooled, flashy lights everywhere. This isnt quite as nice as that. But for the price you pay its astonishing how much preformance it puts out. I actually bought this for my daughters christmas gift but of course i opened it and preinstalled all the windows updates and got her games ready. I tested several out and they run very, very well. Can i say in the longrun how good the battery life is, or if the joy sticks drift, no. But if it runs even remotely as id expect it to over time its an excellent baragin for the price.

Plays all my steam games xbox game pass and blizzard games runs them great and smooth ,only draw back is the battery life but its expected with the specs!

Purchased as a gift for my teen and he loves it. A bit of work to get it set up but after that, he was in love with it.

Awesome, nice display easy to use. Graphics are good

Amazing handheld gaming pc! This definitely exceeded my expectations and the software it comes with is very polished and optimized. I love all the overlays that are implemented so it makes using the device easier. Armory crate is a must and makes the whole experience feel very console like. The fact that it’s also windows 11 makes it possible to mod games and achieve everything your desktop can do. In my experience 512gb of storage is enough I already own a desktop and I usually play one single player story game at once so 512 is plenty. I’m currently playing atomic heart and always get over 60fps on medium to high settings at 1080p. I’d definitely recommend this it’s awesome to be able to bring your pc everywhere you go

Amazing. Only downside is the battery life, but its great for playing games around the house snd not being tied down to a desk or TV. Would recommend 100 out of 100 times.

I buyed a open box rog ally z1 extreme and i have almost two months with it, and i love it, have a really nice performance, can run everything, obviusly with the right adjustments graphics, have some small weakness but is becouse of the windows system, and battery time, it is not for everyone, becouse you need to know about windows, but if you are familiarize with pc you gona love this device.

The main thing I believe everyone gets wrong when they buy is that they think it's a switch. Wrong it is basically a very small gaming laptop that if you want to have the best performance you need to keep it plugged in. but for everything else it is easy to set up and plays everything I have thrown at it. I would warn you though make sure you play games that are more for controllers than keyboard and mouse because you can connect them you just have to have a Bluetooth version of them. Lastly, you can play it on battery just note it will drain very fast maybe will last 2 hrs

Great device for playing AAA games. Battery life is not great and there are sometimes software malfunctions with Windows 11, but overall a powerful device.

Before buying the ASUS ROG ALLY, I was very confident that there would be some bugs/issues early on with the device. As a PC gamer, I was very intrigued with this product since it was announced. For the most part, the ROG ALLY peforms fairly well. However, the latest bios update provided by ASUS has cut performance by 15-25%. In many games, that is a massive performance hit, even at the lowest settings. There is also some issues with deadzones on the controls. I am worried because ASUS made a widespread announcment that the deadzone issue is equivalent to that of compeititor brands. A response like that hase very worried by how much adequate updates this ASUS product will receive. Overall, games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare have performed exceptionally well. Many games that do not peform very well such as Hogwarts Legacy are not at fault of ASUS but poor game optimization. The ROG ALLY surely has great ambiitons, but one just has to wonder, will ASUS do their part in porperly updating this down the road?

Not a fan of this device at all it has windows 11 on there so if your not familiar with it and all its little issues that go along with it then this is not for you. Tinkering is a must to get most games to a playable state, which is fine but if your coming from console “this is not plug and play” like say a steam deck and or Nintendo switch. Battery life is terrible plan on purchasing a power bank and or be somewhere that has an outlet. SD card reader is a common problem with this item, this can be remedied by installing a ssd inside the unit and or using adapters on the outside of the unit which in turn will work also. Choice is yours when it comes to purchasing this device personally I wish I would have returned it during the 15 day warranty that Best Buy offers, but now I’m stuck with it going to put it up on eBay or marketplace to get some money back from my investment. More power to those people who swear by this device that’s cool just realized it’s not for me and that’s fine also

I have run Diablo IV on it as well as retro games through Steam assisted by EmuDeck. Such a great piece of hardware. I love that its full Windows 11 and can be tailored to your needs instead of being at the mercy of firmware updates from a single source. Armory Crate by ASUS is efficient enough and everything else can be handled in Windows. I recommend the $65 wall adapter that also serves as a go between for USB-C and HDMI. It is great if you want to dock the handheld from time to time. I’m seriously also considering thr external GPU for future updates to this portable gaming computer!
