Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

I bought the base ROG Ally last year when it was on sale and I enjoyed it a lot. Decided to get the Z1E and it is insanely better! I gave the base ROG Ally to my son and he has been enjoying Balatro on it. HIGHLY recommend the Z1E

Nice portable system to play games on, easy to use and setup.

Love this thing. it has definitely been one of my best purchases. I bought the asus adapter from best buy also and together I have a gaming pc and regular computer for regular tasks. Love this thing.

It is a great gaming machine overall. I was EXTREMELY reluctant to buy it because I absolutely did not want to deal with Windows and all of the challenges, bugs, tinkering, etc. that comes with it. For that reason, I was much more interested in the Steam Deck. However, since getting this, I have actually not had any problems with Windows. It has been smooth sailing in that regard, surprisingly. There were a lot of updates at first, but that was fine. Overall, I am happy with the device. BUT, there is one HUGE caveat. There is a big issue with the microSD card reader and as of now (September 2023), the issue still has not been fixed. Basically the SD card slot is unusable for a lot of people. One of the features of the device simply doesn't work at all and that is unfair to consumers. People have found workarounds and that's great, but consumers should not have to do that. Promised features of devices should actually work. This is not asking too much. So, I cannot give it a 5 star review while this issue persists for so many users.

My ASUS ROG Ally is great. I like how I can play most of my games on Steam and Xbox Game Pass. There are some minor quality of life interface that would've been great, like navigating through the desktop. Otherwise, I love it. I have an Xbox Series X as well but i haven't had much play time with thar since getting this device. I'd say if you’re not exclusively getting your games through Steam, this is the handheld device for you.

I love this thing! Some of the most fun I've had in one device in a long time, if not ever! From Fortnite and Palworld, to emulation and classic PC games, this does it all. In my hands, or on my TV, the games and good times just keep coming! Asus has done an amazing job at making it easy to change all necessary settings on the fly - the buit in UI is effortless and fluent. I cannot recommend the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme enough!

After readijg all the reviews both positive and negative i decided to give this a try. I absolutely love it. I didnt run into any issues with my device. Its been a blast and i sold my gaming laptop. I travel a bit for work so having this on the go has been a real treat than lugging my laptop around with all the components as well. If you are familiar with gaming on desktop/laptop windows then this should be a rather easy product to use. For what this product can do the price is actually decent.

A miniture PC designed to take games from different platforms and have them controller compatibility. Not as powerful as a good laptop but a fun device that is easy to use. The touch screen and mouse mode help navigate the regular PC. Not bad but a bit awkward.

I haven’t tried it with a micro SD so I can’t say if it’s true that they are damaged by the rog ally, but the the controller feels really comfortable (I thought it wouldn’t be by the looks) And the power is really good in general. The only ugly thing I haven’t liked so far (beside some software bugs) is the battery, it drains very fast. You will have around 1 hour of playing in mid - high games.

This has gotten much better since release. The updates helped with performance and now it turns on and you can just play. Runs games very well and medium settings. I'm very impressed with the hardware and screen. I wish it had quick resume like the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update.

Great piece of tech, few bugs out of the box, but a few updates later, it runs great

I am really amazed about the performance and playing all my games from my gaming laptop without carrying my have gaming laptop. If you arw planning to buy a handheld gaming pc choose this one there is another one comming out next month the only reason. I dis not chose it because it has the same processor and performance except for battery, and additional type c port.

This handheld is a beast. I haven't had a problem playing any games on game pass or steam.

Amazing product this is the second one I’ve bought. One for me and one for the wife!

This is an amazing product, however, the major issue at the moment is the micro SD card reader. ASUS has acknowledged this issue, but unfortunately my first rog ally’s micro SD card reader stopped working after about 11 days. I’m hopefully that it’s more of a firmware issue so I have ordered a replacement. Other than that, it is an excellent gaming device if you have a bit of technical expertise.

I really wanted to like the rog Ally. I've had it for just over two weeks, luckily I'm still eligible for a return, so I'm going to pursue that return. Hour plus setup process to begin okay I was okay with that it's just a Windows computer... But in the proceeding weeks of using it I've had crashes, I've had my micro SD card be destroyed by it. The card literally is dead will not be read in any other computer. There's the firmware issues, the horrible battery life even on 10 watts I found on some lower powered games I still get maybe an hour at most I can literally watch it count down almost with the seconds. I really wanted to like this as I said but I feel like it's a beta that got released to the public possibly even an alpha product. I like Asus I have an Asus gaming laptop and it works great. But unfortunately the April 1st announcement date of this almost feels like it's fulfilling itself.

Definitely a gaming beast......if you know what you're doing. This is not a out of the box plug and play device. It requires a hefty initial set up. After that tinkering and getting games to run how you want will still require tweaking and testing. If you're familiar with windows and such you will have a blast if you have patience. I love this device, I'm sure Asus will hash out whatever issues arise/exist.

Got this to compare to my Steam Deck. Immediately upgraded the storage to a 4tb M.2, and i havent touched the Deck since. I made the Deck a dual boot machine with Windows as well, and this thing handles Windows so much smoother. Completely recommed if youre on the fence, make the purchase. Ordered this little beast online. As always, Best Buy had it here the next day, so overall very happy from start to finish.

Works excellent. The ROG is a powerhouse and easy for travel. Perfect for my lifestyle.
