Customer Ratings & Reviews

The ally can play pretty much any game I throw at it with max settings, it’s very responsive and I love that it runs windows unlike the steam deck that is extremely limited. The only issue I have is playing any game that uses more resources than skyrim kills the battery very quickly when not plugged in.

This isn't my first handheld gaming pc, but it's my first wondows handheld, and i couldn't be happier. I play games from steam, gog and epic and all run smoothly, provided I choose the correct profile. Screen is amazing, speakers are amazing, and i have the freedom to install what I want, how I want from whatever launcher I want. I honestly have no complaints.

The Asus ROG Ally is the 3 in one solution. For me, it has played all the games I have thrown at it. It has functioned as a capable Windows 11 PC. And has been my media player. You get a performant handheld device that you can take on the go. Great value for the price.

I love this device so much. This is a excellent device to play older PC games, emulators and indie games. I have a M1 Macbook Pro and this is a perfect companion. If I need to use Windows application that is not available for Mac, I just use Microsoft RDP (Windows 11 Pro require on ROG ALLY to connect into RDP) or using 3rd party remote desktop into my ROG ALLY. DON'T EXPECT TO RUN LATEST AAA GAMES ON ULTRA SETTING in 120hz. Because this device is not meant for that, is actually meant to play games on the go sacrificing some performance. There some games that I was able to run 120 FPS in low or Medium settings on 720p. Some games in High settings 60 FPS on 720. Indie 2D platform games in high setting, 120hz on 1080p. This is small screen and I find the perfect screen size to play 720p games without sacrificing visual texture. If I'm playing low demanding 2D indie games, I play it on High settings in 1080p. High recommended to get portable bluetooth keyboard if you playing games that does have chat features or to login into the game. Bluetooth mouse if you need to editing emulator or navigating complex program. In the picture I have iClever IC-BK03 and Logitech MX Anywhere 3

I really enjoy the rog, its able to play all my games and it's a pretty nice handheld computer.

The ROG Ally is very powerful for a handheld computer, but it's held back by the Windows operating system. If you're someone who is looking for a console-like experience where everything just works almost all the time with no tweaking from you, this isn't for you. Get a Steamdeck. However, if you're willing to dig into a system, tweak some settings, and do a little troubleshooting, the ROG Ally is a great choice. Battery life is short. Get an high-capacity battery pack if you're not going to spend most of your time playing near an outlet. And the internal drive it comes with is only 512GB. Bite the bullet and upgrade to a 2TB drive. You won't regret it (ASUS publishes instructions on their website on how to upgrade the drive).

Works beautifully. It is a lot to set up, but worth it.

I love to play mobile games but offerings from Nintendo and phones lack that processing piwer to play next gen games. Enter the ROG Ally. Much like the steam deck, you can readily download my Steam library. Better yet, because i also have gamepass, GoG and Epic launchers, i have an avenue of many free monthly games. Because its Windows, just about any windows application works as well. My biggest gripe with the device is battery management. Windows is not catered to be optimized like SteamOS is. I will say the screen and hardware are really nice and the device doesnt run too hot to the touch. Lack of thrid party accesories also hurts the device a bit. The included charger is very welcomed to allow for quick top offs when running low.

great system for mobile gaming... I bought this because I was going to have a rather lengthy stay in the hospital.. and this here did the trick to keep me entertained... along with it also being a full fledged computer... I was able to use it as double duty and only had to bring this with me...

You can play the latest games in this powerful device. Without any issues you can play very heavy games like god of war Ragnarok, call of duty Black ops 6, war zone. And any video game you could ever imagine. PS5 or Xbox it doesn’t matter you can play everything and very smoothly too. You gonna be surprised on how powerful this little device is. My only advice is to understand how the device function. so you can adjust the device performance to what you really need. At the end the device has no limitations. The CBU and the processor is very powerful you literally can use the device on other heavy duty applications other than just gaming.

This is so fantastic and I love it to play Palworld and it similar in my PC gaming. It is my first time ever using! I recommend you purchase it! Easy travels and carry everywhere!

Great performance, display, and value. 120Hz screen makes a big difference on indie games (love playing Hollow Knight on it). One think that certainly could be better is battery life. Getting 1-2 hours with AAA titles and 3-4 with less demanding games. Hopefully software updates will improve this over time. I truly love it other than that!

Amazing PC windows small factor video console. Not perfect due that is windows and not so easy to use as the Steam Deck. Obviously more powerful with the amazing option to add a eGPU and get extra graphics power. I think windows needs to start developing a system exclusively for PC handheld/laptop/Desktop gaming OS System. This is the way.

It runs all the new latest AAA games like Starfield like a charm. If you need a gaming system but don't have time or a dedicated space to set up your gaming rig this is the machine for you. Only downside for me is the battery life which isn't that good.

Probably the only handheld I will ever need until they update this thing truly too good only thing that sucks about it is the battery life but I can play Skyrim at 60fps on medium settings pretty consistently and any rogue likes with 120fps easily truly the best purchase I’ve made

This thing is awesome only two complaints are not enough storage space for game orders like me and the fact you have to keep it plugged in because the battery life. Other than that it plays everything I put on it so far lost Ark tiny Tina’s wonderlands redneck rampage in Dosbox and emulation station. Could use a second USB-C port.

The console is has great performance runs all game smoothly but the issue is its battery life.

It won't disappoint you like a steam deck would sorry steamdeck but im being real here. I ditched my 3080ti and ryzen 9 7900x to full time the ROG Ally and well im not sad. I play mw3 at 70fps at medium setting with fsr 3.0 1080p and it runs smooth. With more games being optimized things are starting to get better. Beam ng drive runs at 60fps but needs some software updates as it does feel a little glitchy, but it runs wayyy better than the steamdeck does. Overall runs all my games and i have quite a few. Maybe good to mention that i prefer image quality more than fps so that being sad the settings i run are for good looks and not straight performance. if it didn't satisfy me then i wouldn't be here leaving this review. Just know this was my honest review and i would hate for someone to ditch handhelds. This is the next generation of gaming consoles making it easy to just play a quick game or to sit down and smash hours on your favorite titles.

This console is very good, it has given me many hours of enjoyment. The bad thing is that it is still very green and has a lot of room for improvement. I think Asus had to put 32 or 24 GB of ram in it to make the games more demanding before super good, but the console is very good that 120hz screen is very nice and sharp

I've had mine since June 11. Coming from a Steam Deck, the screen and speakers are amazing as well as the performance in the Performance and Turbo modes. Haven't had any issues with deadzones or SD cards after a good 60 hours on it the last couple of weeks.
