Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this to add to my handheld gaming device collection. I find myself using the ROG Ally and Steamdeck the most out of all of them. Anything I play on the switch or PSP or the Vita or other emulator based handhelds can be playing on the ROG Ally, since it runs on Windows, most things are click and play, sure a few games might need some tinkering but its definitely not a dealbreaker.

After owning and playing it for a week i have decided its the perfect power for the price it blows the steam deck away by 5x.

Great device for playing games and retro games, only draw back is the battery life,

It is definitely a powerful portable, and can run AAA games pretty well on medium settings. Screen looks great, but the controls are subpar compared to a steam deck. The overlay for choosing games is also an afterthought at best, as you get kicked out into normal windows A LOT, so you never forget thisnis a windows machine.

Product works great with most games. New buyers should understand that this is not an ultra pc or gaming laptop. It runs most games effectively however some games require and external mouse and keyboard. The games with higher graphics also will probably on get about 20-30 FPS on this device. However this system is everything I was looking for in terms of the games I play on it.

It was a great gaming machine. But battery was disappointing.

The Ally is an amazing handheld, You can play Xbox games, Steam, and more. With Windows as the operating system the possibilities are endless. The display is the best ive ever seen, probably the biggest improvement over the Steam Deck. Unfortunately, the battery life is horrendous. 2-3 hours at most with most games.

Very fast and runs smooth. i love having a portable gaming pc when i get go out.

This is a great device for on the go. It can handle quite well with newer games! Highly recommend!

Very fun and perfect to PC games on the go! Had my eye on this for awhile and finally got one. Not disappointed.

[Employee of bestbuy] A very good PC handheld and competitor to the Steam Deck. The fact that it runs Windows 11 is a major plus to many. Some downsides include limited battery life depending on the title you're playing. And a clunky UI experience due to Armory Crate not being fully integrated into the system.

Great machine ! Works well. Took some time to figure it out and get it working but works really well!!

10/10. This thing does everything i wanted out of it. I can play Fortnite 120FPS easily and it looks beautiful doing it! I thought i would only be using Turbo Mode all the time plugged in but was so surprised to find that i can play in Performance Mode! Doing so gives the Ally about 2 hours and 20min of Fortnite gameplay which is amazing. Same goes for Overwatch. I play using my bluetooth Xbox Controller and latency is amazing as expected. Very very happy with my purchase and in love with the Ally!!

This is a powerful device that plays most AAA games well. If you're not a PC gamer, it's going to take research and patience to get this thing tweaked to how you like it. If you're not a Windows user period, you're going to have a very tough time. Once you come to terms with both of those, the use case and performance of this thing is incredible. There's definitely some quality issues out there with so much plastic, but if you don't run into any quality control issues, this thing is a pleasure to use.

Overall a nice device. Lower rating is due to the fact that windows on a handheld is really not fun. It’s not designed for a handheld touchscreen. Build quality is solid. Fan noise is ok on 15-18w but at 25w gets a bit loud. Screen is fantastic. Performance is great at 30w plugged in.

Get gaming devices however sd card situation is frustrating. SD card showed up in advance storage and now it doesn’t. Which means I can’t download all of my game library. Other than battery life it great when it’s working. This is not for someone who wants simplicity.

I imagined this product 15 years ago when Xbox 360 was out. I wanted it to be a reality so bad. When the switch came out it was the closest thing to it, but this blows the switch out of the water. I have 2 young kids so finding time to sit down in front of a tv or computer to play games is nearly impossible. Now I play this thing all over the place at the house, at work, or if I go out for lunch. I haven’t been able to game in years and I love this!

I’ve had this for a month no problems great performance battery could be bigger, and I have had no issues with SD card reader

Overall it's been great for what it can do, but there's a big learning curve and a bit buggy. Docked mode is probably where I see most issues. It's only been out for a little over a month, so I see it getting better. Steam Deck was the same way in the beginning. Do I regret the purchase? Not at all. If anyone wants to get into an entry level windows machine, this is a good starting point.

Really great graphics. Had joystick failure first week. Best Buy was GREAT about exchange. No questions or hassle with the replacement of new console. I think Microsoft could employ a few less updates and there would be less bugs but that’s above my pay grade. Very satisfied with the ROG
