Customer Ratings & Reviews

This gaming set loved it very fast and it’s very good to use to play Fornite and game.0

The hand held is pretty good but the only problem I have with it is the battery life. The battery depending on the game would as about 1 hour at best. If going to travel with this you need a good power bank.

Way better than the steam deck interms of everything. The controlls for surfing the web is like using a phone and not to mention how easy it is to just download a game launch it and switch to controller mode. All the reviewers on youtube who say windows sucks are just a bunch of nerds looking at 4 fps difference

Ill be traveling for a while so this is exactly what I needed in a step up over the steam deck. The screen is SO much better than the deck, and ill really appreciate that as I go. I'd say that if you didnt care about the slight perfromance gain / screen and currently have a Deck you should probably stick with that

I was torn between the Ally and the Steam deck. I'm glad I chose the Ally. It's amazing and so fun to game on and tinker with. It's a full on windows 11 pc in your hand that can play any AAA title with ease. Next upgrade will be a larger SSD and a better travel case. I'm not a huge fan of the official Rog one.

Amazing handheld PC. Infinitely better than steamdeck as well as any other handheld windows machine out there. Ordered new Ally X because i was so impressed with and enjoyed having the Ally Z1 Extreme.

HERE WE ARE IN 2025 AND I STILL USE THNIS EVERY SINGLE DAY PLAYING WOW/TARKOV RETOGAMES I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Really enjoying this device. Plays AAA games without a hitch when you tweak the settings and set your TDP manually. Have had a few issues - mostly windows related - but youtube helped me clear those up and find an 18W TDP that is a good compromise of performance and battery. Overall a win in my book.

This will run any game you want it to, great value for such little money

This is not a steam deck. This is a full windows pc, so setup isn’t as easy as a steam deck but the capability is far greater. Plug it into a dock and you have a mobile gaming handheld that can do all of your normal pc task

Good for Fortnite as a handheld gaming pc. Gets hot and to get decent fps to play at least 60fps consistently. In the end the battery life was only 1hr and for the money just not worth it.

This thing is so much better than the Steam Deck! You can do everything on the go as you would your computer. Only draw back is short battery life when AAA gaming. I bought an Anker portable power bank which certainly helps. Wouldn't sell this for anything, Or at least until the Ally 2 comes out.

Phenomenal! It's a new device. Most of the issues are windows issues as well. I believe things will get better overall with this handheld. This has replaced my consoles already. People talk about the battery life as well. Someone said the fastest car is not going to have the best gas mileage! Remember that!

Let me preface this with, for standard users, this is not ideal or streamlined to setup. Asus has MANY bugs to work out. Upon initial setup, I couldn't get past OOBE for windows when trying to unit the password for my WiFi. Why? Because the onscreen keyboard didnt populate, as is common. You can force it up by holding tye rear bumper buttons and. Pushing up on rhe Dpad simultaneously, but i had to google that answer. Or you can connect it to a dock and external KB/Mouse and workaround it. Either way, highly annoying and terrible programming from Asus. Then, Armoury Crate continued to crash wanna pop up black acreens subsequently during setup. Overall, i spent 3 hours doing setup, and I'm a power user in Windows. I can only imagine how long it would take a normal user, or how many people just returned it. Likely why there are are a TON of openbox offerings in my locale now. Add in that PS Remote play isnt natively compatible and you gave to install Chiaki or otgerwise, and its a high fidget device that is definitely not ready for the general public. That being said, once you do get it all set, it looks great and plays well across PC games, Xbox, and even streaming. The lack of trackpads is annoying, but battery life is decent, and it is much more powerful than steamdecks top model in comparison.

Have had it for many months now. It is perfect for couch gaming and docked PC play. Handles AAA games at medium settings effortlessly. For its size, it is mighty.

Amazing portable PC/gaming system. I own the steam deck and this system is miles and miles above it. The screen looks so much better 30 watt tdp allows me to play recent AAA games on it. I will be selling my steam deck shortly. The only thing is typical widows issues but you get used to them fast.

Plays every AAA game very well. Best of all, you can lower the resolution (since the display is so small) or enable FSR and you can't even tell really unless you are looking closely. Boots up in seconds and can load into a game within a minute or two from booting up.

Impressive device for the money. Don’t get me wrong you can get a lot more function out of a pc at this price point but as far as handhelds go this thing is very powerful. The reason I can’t give it 5 stars is QC. I’ve had fan wine and more recently my SD card slot has fried (as most people with these units have experienced). I’m hoping to return this unit under the manufacturers warranty and purchase something else. If you have money to blow and don’t care about those issues it’s a great unit. However I’m going to be searching for something with more longevity even at the cost of performance.

Screen is perfect size easy to hold onto the ergonomics are perfect on this device. AAA gaming is no issue and battery life is alright. Pair this with the asus adapter and you can hdmi out with ease.

Its a good product. I think it still has a lot to figure out especially the out of box setup. However, it will run anything you throw at it and with the new bios update it runs with maximum performace. I have never owned a steam deck but this is a great alternative in my opnion if you have the cash for it.
