Customer Ratings & Reviews

The ROG Ally is amazing with the modern model Z1 Extreme you can enjoy most of not all PC games at 60fps on avrage 40fps for demanding titles and can reach over 100fps with AI upscaling and performance modes enable

Very cool handheld PC. It really is a PC. The unit does get a little hot after an hour or more of usage. Very cool for getting your gaming fix while on the road. Great for frequent travelers.

Ive been in the market for a handheld like this for quite sometime.. Ive done much research on the ROG Ally and the Steam Deck and you cant compare it to the steam deck the steam deck is a linux based handheld that runs specific games basically SteamOS. However the ROG Ally is running a full version of windows 11 and that alone tells you what kind of games you can play. Its also running a Z1 Extreme processor and withs its built in APU I’m running Starfield at between 30-50 FPS on medium settings. I love this purchase.. so long switch.

I LOVE THIS THING! The ROG Ally has replaced my Steam Deck this will be my DAILY DRIVER for a long time that's how good it is. ONLY downside to this device is the battery so come-on Asus get it together!

Still love it. Works great. Best Buy price matched me the week I bought it cuz it went on sale the same week.

Amazing device. Steam, PA remote play, Xbox, GOG- You name it, the Rog can handle it. Paying with your Best Buy Elite card? Even better. Get the best device at the best place. One of the best purchases I've ever made. I haven't stopped having fun with this device since purchase. Just amazing.

ROG Ally is the best gaming handheld ive owned. I have the Steam Deck and the Ally and i pick up the Ally almost everytime for handheld gaming. The Steam Deck is a more comfortable grip but the Ally is so much more versatile. I play all kinds of games and the Ally can handle all of them. It takes some tweaking to get your games set up right but there are so many guides out there for specific game settings. 10/10 would recommend. Cant wait to see what ROG will do next for handheld gaming

Bought this juat so I could play Genshin. It plays flawlessly. Also bought an external battery since battery life isnt great.

Absolute blast! Really great device. Have had zero issues. Surprised by battery life after watching YouTube Reviews. Plays Wildlands, Diablo 4 and Far Cry 5 extremely well.

I loved my ROG Ally, but it did have its fair share of hardware issues. The SD card slot, touch screen, and joysticks were problematic, making it less durable and somewhat inconvenient at times. However, when everything worked, it was an amazing device! I primarily used it to stream my Xbox and PlayStation games, which may have been overkill for its capabilities. For local games, I stuck to titles like Minecraft and Toontown, as competing in fast-paced games was difficult without a keyboard and mouse. Overall, I’m glad I got to experience being on the cutting edge of portable gaming. Unfortunately, due to the touchpad malfunction (a hardware issue), I’ll be using the Ally in docked mode going forward. Unless ASUS addresses these issues in future iterations, I’m likely to switch to Lenovo or OneXPlayer for my next handheld gaming device.

I have used the Ally about 10 times over the course of the last 4 weeks. When it loads up a game, it looks great and runs fast. The battery life is lacking for a "portable" device. It has needed an OS update every 2-3 uses. It hasn't caused an issue in some games, but I have had issues running a couple of games. Controls feel a little clunky and I have bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with it. I would probably purchase it again, but not at this price point.

Feels premium despite being plastic. Buttons and sticks feel amazing. Screen is super bright and crisp. Dual fan system is quiet. Performance is amazing. Its almost like a handheld gaming laptop!

For the price this thing does it all! I was seriously impressed at how well games run on the Ally. Everything from RDR2 to Hogwarts legacy have all run super smooth. Pair this with a good docking station, a wireless keyboard, and a good controller this portable gaming console can do everything you need it to, plus more with its windows 11 built in. I will reccomend a larger micro sd card if you plan on downloading a lot of games, or upgrade the ssd to the 1tb or 2tb

The ROG Ally is a pretty solid handheld that fits pretty well in my hands, while the steam deck is a bit unwieldy. Games run great once you get them running. I ran into an issue where gamepass games wouldn't run due to the windows clock being set to the wrong time. The set up itself could be too much if the person isn't tech smart. Once you go through the standard Windows setup, youll be greated to multiple updates. More advanced users might want to use PowerShell to remove some bloatware/ windows apps that aren't needed.

Pretty good runs any game you can think of and it being portable is better

like all handhelds battery lacks longevity the asus rog ally is a very powerful gaming hand held so it makes sense the battery doesnt last long but is my only comolain about the whole thing i love the versatility being avke to play steam xbox epic it opens up the gaming catalogue available to you by ten fold checking your email surfing the web listening to music and waching videos ..truely amazing but buy a back up power bank

This device is an absolute workhorse. With this being said, I could not justify keeping the device and ended up returning it. I believe windows is the downfall of the device, not having a trackpad, made navigating windows a lot more difficult. For me, its not about having a device with the most performance as i have a beefy gaming pc already, which is why im going with the steam deck, because of the more affordable pricepoint. For someone that does not have a windows pc, I highly recommend this device its incredible.

love it. it runs any game i throw at it. it’s gotten me back into gaming again. and it can be docked to w monitor to use as a full on PC

Comes as a portable gaming system that runs all PC games bear in mind you have to tweet some of the game but it works wish it was more battery life but portable batteries have to do.

Ever since I saw a tiny handheld PC running Windows 95 in a magazine as a kid, I have wanted a portable device with the flexibility of a PC and the gaming focused features of a console. The ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme processor is exactly what I hoped it would be. The shortcomings are fairly minor. The biggest one is that you will want a keyboard and mouse ar some point. The battery life is limited, but it is manageable. The internal storage is limited, but it can be expanded. Probably my most unexpected use for the Ally is to use it to play PC indie games at 120 frames per second on my TV like a console.
