Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive been playing with this handheld pc since the day it was release. So far its doing pretty awesome, just some minor issues like the battery life, internal storage limited but can be upgraded to 2 tb and some crashes but all in all this is way better than most handhelp pc out there.

Personally, my experience with the Asus ROG Ally has been nothing short of fantastic. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU and 16GB of RAM truly shine when it comes to playing RPGs like Diablo and Baldur's Gate. The graphics are stunning, and the 120Hz refresh rate adds a level of immersion that enhances my gaming sessions. While the Ally may require some technical know-how to optimize, investing the necessary time for setup is truly rewarding. Once fine-tuned, this handheld PC surpasses any other I've tried, especially in the realm of RPGs. The extra effort in customization pays off, delivering a gaming experience that outshines competitors. The Asus ROG Ally's potential becomes evident when given the time and attention to tailor settings, making it a standout choice for gamers seeking unparalleled performance in a handheld device.

The setup was easy and everything worked. Screen is beautiful. Controller works perfectly. Ran Diablo 4 at medium settings at a constant 60 fps at 15w TDP. Make sure to update drivers first to get this performance. Best handheld. I also used switch oled screen protector for now and it fits

I live my Rog Ally ,dont get me wrong it is not without its flaws, but the pros far outweigh the cons. I have several AAA games loaded and several other games i just really like. I have Spider-man, miles Morale s, God of War, Midnight Suns, Outriders, Gears 5, Assassin's Creed, and more. Now my 1st one the SD card reader did fail, i dont keep an sd card in it unless im playing weaker games. Connecting it to my tv and using a controller is wicked cool too. The bios updates are making it better each time. I would tell anyone on the fence to get one, i definitely think its worth it.

The Rog Ally is actually a really cool device that is held down by a lot of issues. For me the MicroSD card reader stopped working and looking online this may be due to heat and is a common issue. The device runs pretty hot the part you hold to play will be fine but the screen will almost feel like its going to burn you when playing high end games. There is something here in the future but right now I cannot recommend this device till they work out the hardware and software issues.

Super easy to set up and runs all of my games perfectly. Love having this on the go on vacations and trips when I can’t take my Pc with me

After a week of use the Rog Ally I would say this handheld great for handling some big games on Steam, the only downside is the battery life but other than that it’s a great device

I love this thing. It has exceded my expectations. I have a few tips for the first time boot. There are plenty of videos on Youtube you can look up if you're not sure what any of this means. I recommend you *at least* do the following before playing anything: Update Armoury Crate to latest version Update everything in MyAsus app Update Win 11 Uninstall all unwanted apps to debloat the system (all unuseful microsoft apps such as Office, Teams etc), i recommend to do it It manually or using Revo uninstaller. I personnally dont recommend any debloat software Disable all unneeded auto start apps at Windows start via the task manager (also games launchers if you want as it boots much faster) Disable core isolation

Not super friendly out of the box, but 10/10 overall. I don’t care about the battery life. 500gb is questionable. And useless top port

This handheld is amazing. After looking at the Lenovo Legion Go, the MSI Claw, and the SteamDeck, this is my choice. Absolutely great looking screen, decent battery life, comfortable, slim, and great speakers.

This a good WIN11 gaming handheld compatible with most PC games. The only drawback is the short battery life away from AC power.

As a married dad gamer this thing allows me to play games with a 2 month old asleep in my arms while my wife watches her reality shows. Pros: its fast, beautiful screen, good buttons, plays everything cons: bad battery, i feel the ergonomics of holding it could be better

I love this device, and I only have three negatives about it. one Im sure theyll fix soon and the other two I can fix myself. for one, my dlc through steam isn't being loaded into my games, I can play the base games just fine but for some reason even when I install the DLC manually they dont appear in game. the second is the battery, typical for a gaming laptop so buying a portable charger was expected. third is little-to-no accessories, there are some stuff that fit the ROG sure but I want custom tailored carrying cases and docks, on amazon the dock that people use for the steam deck have been confirmed not to support the ally on turbo and I hope to see someone manufacture some better toys for my beast of a mini computer.

The ROG Ally is a great Windows handheld gaming device that lets you play most PC games anywhere you want. I have used it mainly when I'm traveling to catch up on a huge backlog of games that I haven't been able to get around to playing. The controls are smooth and everything works well. Asus does a great job updating the system to keep it working at it's best.

I love this device so much , it’s not just a pc it’s an all around gaming machine spectacular graphics. User friendly , I love the size and how you can do everything a 5000 pc can do and more . The best investment ever

I am extremely satisfied with this product. It has an excellent screen, a fantastic operating system management center, powerful performance, and a comfortable grip. The speaker's performance is also highly satisfying. Overall, this is my favorite Windows handheld device.

I’ve had this product for almost 2 years now and it has been great ! Yes the battery life could be improved but honest most of the time that I use it, it never runs out. Storage starts at a great capacity with sd card to expand . Screen size is perfect and overall I have no complaints . Controller format and butting feel great in hand as well . Would recommend .

TLDR: Great design and amazing performance capabilities but the battery life ruins the experience. RATING: I gave it 2/5 stars instead of 1/5 stars only because I like it DESPITE of it's critically short battery life. IMO: IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE I RECOMMEND DON'T BUY, IF MONEY ISN'T AN ISSUE THEN I THINK IT'S WORTH BUYING IT AS A NOVELTY BUT NOT A FULL ON GAMING DEVICE. REVIEW: Honestly, this thing is amazing. I think it's perfect in every way but one, it's battery life. When it comes to performance this thing is incredible.. When it comes to aesthetics, this thing is incredible.. When it comes to the built in controller pad, it's incredible... When it comes to the hybrid Microsoft 11 touch screen OS combined with the ASUS armoury crate, it's amazing. The battery life is so bad that it makes all of it's positives meaningless, however. I can only get it to play games unplugged for 2 maybe 3 hours and plugged in for 4 maybe 6 tops before I have to shut it down and either: let it charge up, cool down, and usually both. I still love the thing to play on my bed with it is plugged in but it's basically a novelty rather than a standalone game playing device. Playing this away from a charger is unrealistic and if you use a battery bank then you ruin the mobility factor whilst risking overheating it and damaging it in the process. This thing has a special place in my heart though because it was always a childhood dream of mine to own a handheld XBOX game playing device and when I play Halo/COD on this thing it makes me feel like that dream has finally come true. So I'm still keeping mine and enjoy it for small 1-3 hour gaming sessions on weeknights; After work and before I go to bed.

As a steam deck user this is the next iteration. It's smaller, lighter and much better specd out while also being much more repairable. I managed to smash by thunbs ticks by dropping it from a table (they took the mpact and saved the screen). Cost 15$ and an ifixit kit and had it up and running in 30mins. Don't care much for the design though, have the RGB disabled and if there was a cleaner looking version I would have bought that. It was either purchase a new GU to upgrade my 1070 or this hand held and I have no regrets. Silicon has come such a long way that AAA games can be played at 60fps with great visuals and emulating my 360 collection means I can finally play classics not on steam/gog.

I personally own two rog ally z1 extreme and one rog ally z1 models and there great especially for the low price they are at now
