Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good device and does what it's supposed to do. Knocked off a five star because best buy sent me a code that is invalid for game pass and I'm pretty upset about that.

I bought this near the initial launch, and saw lots of reviews about bad hardware. Coming to report nearly a year later to report ASUS has continually updated the machine, and it's been an absolute pleasure to use. I upgraded the storage to a 2TB NVME, and it was really easy to do yourself. Battery life is pretty bad (~1.5-2 hours on highest performance setting), but that's honestly to be expected.

The first one I bought came with a dead charging brick. I had to exchange the whole thing and get a new Ally. As far as the unit itself, it worked as intended for the 10 days I had it. I ended up returning it and getting a Steam Deck OLED. Yes it less powerful but it feels so much bettter in the hands, has a better screen, the build quality is superior, and I’m not constantly worried about the Ally breaking (many issues have been reported) and having to deal with Asus support. The Ally, for me, felt rushed, cheap, and unfinished. While I didn’t have any major problems, other then the charger, and 512GB not being enough space, for the price, the thing doesn’t even come with a cleaning cloth or a case. I also got tired of using Windows in such a small device. Using the touch screen to set things up or change settings got old fast. The use of the mouse with the thumbstick is just bad and clumsy. The battery life is terrible as well.

Can run red dead redmeption 2 at native resolutin and combination of medium/high (with ultra textures) at 60 fps in performance mode. Also enjoying diablo 4 at 60+ fps in my desired settings… windows can be a pain, and the software is new.. so you kind of need to be patient.. but the support is there and I believe the device will only get better with time. Havent ran into any issues that resukts in unplayable gaming, just need to learn how to operate it while its in the early stages. Excired for the future of the ally

It has been a blast. It is perfect for me, I cannot play on my xbox as I use to, not even with remote play. I use my Ally to play on the go or when my wife uses the tv. Just finished spiderman remastered and fallout 3 when before it was really difficult for me to sit on the couch and play what I wanted. The only con which is also a pro is windows, I choose the Ally over steam deck to play games my xbox games but windows can be sometimes hard to work with.

Plays all the games i could want very well. Battery life is a bit short on more demanding games but its quite powerful.

The ROG Ally is a great handheld device running windows. Decent Battery Life, amazing screen. Lightweight and incredibly portable.

I have been loving my ally so far. Runs all my games with no issues. Great for someone who is on the go or wants to relax in bed.

this is an ultimate gaming console.checks all the right boxes in terms of power, user experience.I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the Ally – the performance capability combined with the Windows OS was really appealing, but I’d never used handheld PC before and my own experiences with handheld gaming devices has been mixed. I have about 15 to 20 hours on the Ally so far, and I’m overall pretty pleased and impressed.

Good but battery life is bad screen and controls are high quality

This is a great handheld gaming and mini pc. I love it. The only drawback is that battery life is just eh.

Beat device ever. One flaw, battery life. Make sure to plug it in for after play

Love everything about this handheld PC ROG Ally way better than steam deck. The only problem I have is the battery

Amazing machine. Yes, the updates take forever but it is Windows-based, and that's just what Windows does. Watch a guide on all three areas the ROG updates to ensure you are ready to go because once you are ready to go this thing is a powerhouse. I can remote-play my PS5 and it's perfect, I can play FFXIV online and it runs amazingly, and I can link up Steam, Battle.net, and X-Box and play all my game libraries from one device.

Pros +powerful gaming handheld +can multitask while gaming +cool looking and decent ergonomics +can run emulators like a boss +can play pc games 1080p (30fps on AAA) Cons -software a bit buggy and awkward at first but might get fixed -windows might not be for everyone -not a full console experience like the psp , ps vita or nintendo switch -still needs software updates since its a bit of mess

Ive had mine for nearly 2 years now. Did some basic upgrades and still use it almost daily.

Really the biggest problem it’s battery life for me

I'm really enjoying it. It's made playing single player games fun again. I could be understanding it wrong but sometimes when I power it on it just shuts off, even though the battery isn't dead. After a couple of tries it works. But other than that everything is working great.

Love this thing. I got it on sale and open box. Did a memory upgrade from amazon. It has handled anything ive played ark, nightingale and some fps.

This is a great product, being able to game on the go and play triple AAA titles anywhere you are is just amazing!
