Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wasn't sure if I was even going to keep this when I ordered it, but after setting it up and playing some games on it, I was sold. I love this little device. I mostly keep it hooked up to my LG C1 and play with an Xbox controller, but it's just as impressive handheld. I'm genuinely surprised at just how much power this little guy has, running most games at medium settings at 1080p, but even running some at high. I honestly play on my Ally more than I play on my PC at this point. Can't recommend it enough!

Think of it this way: The Steam Deck and Switch are automatic cars. The ROG Ally is a 6 Speed super sport car. The ROG Ally plays AAA games that look beautiful in your hand. The fact that it runs on Windows 11, some games require some minor tweaking and still run fantastic. It is also a retro gaming beast! I've tested retroarch, mame, yuzu, and others to just name a few and all ran flawlessly. You can get decent FPS from anything you currently throw at it. The screen is sharp, beautiful and visuals are stunning. Again I say. This is not just a console. It is a mini gaming computer. Some knowledge of Windows 11 is definitely needed.

Does exactly what I want it to. I wanted to play pc games while lounging on a sofa. It runs quiet and is powerful enough to play the games I want to play.

I've been using the ROG Ally for a few months, and it's become my go-to gaming device. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor handles demanding games with ease, and the 120Hz display makes everything look smooth. It's comfortable to hold, the battery life is decent, and the ability to connect to a TV or external monitor is a huge plus. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with the ROG Ally and would highly recommend it to any PC gamer.

This is the best gaming console I’ve ever had. Easy navigation and the buttons perfectly align with your fingers. The games run smoothly and the battery life is great.

I really like it. I’ve used it for over a year. It’s been my go to. I don’t even use my other PC anymore. I know there’s a lot of stipulations behind it.

Was presently surprise at the games this device can handle. Super comfortable even for long sessions. Battery is ok, not the best buy not the worst. To be expected on how much power it can deliver. Overall great device

Only knock on this is battery life, but hopefully that is improved through updates in the future. Being able to have a handheld gaming PC to take anywhere is awesome.

I collect handhelds and this is my favorite, powerful lite(for its size), runs cool, beautiful screen. Really happy with this handheld and how quickly it arrived at my home.

I still cant believe I own a ROG ALLY this machine is a fully capable handheld windows PC with higher gaming specs then a current gen series s console but is totally compatible with Xbox game pass & cloud gaming, from all the big names in cloud gaming to reto emulators all the way to the top AAA games out today on current gen consoles. I have to tell you like I tell my friends this handheld is a BEAST!!!

Man i love this thing - lots of updates like a PC but once up and running its amazing!! Native Game Pass, Steam, everyrjing runs great - and the screen and sound yes please!!

Wow Wow Wow. This is the best travel companion I have. Full blown laptop power and plays steam games like Starfield at console frame rates. Just buy it already

My experience with the Ally has been fantastic! One thing to keep in mind is this is a device running full on windows. Its not a switch where you turn on put in a game and go. Driver, firmware, software updates are a must! Initial setup, before installing a game can take up to 2 hours making sure everything is updated but after this things run buttery smooth. Taking advantage of AMD RSR is a huge plus! If you're not familiar with PC gaming you may need to be more patient with launching and various other tasks that aren't needed for traditional consoles. This thing is awesome though and should be given a fair realistic shot.

Its the best wau to play pc games on the go. Its also really good if you need to do some quick web browsing or even play games docked at home better than a laptop by a mile

Coming from a Steam Deck OLED this for me is a much better device. It is basically a small laptop/tablet. I have no worries of games not being compatible, No fiddling or workarounds. Windows is much more familiar than Linux for the majority of users as well. Storage is enough as well, just manage your games, I don't play that many at once, just select few or I would lose focus. You can always upgrade the internal storage. The SD card problem is a thing but I am fine with it, Asus gave an extra year pf warranty by registering the device. 36 months total! I will just use the SD slot sparingly or not at all. I can move items via the USB-C option or wirelessly. Also, you can use One Drive or other similar cloud option to work with files. All in all, this is a great device but only if you get it on sale, not the full retail price of 600-700ish. It may go down in price permanently with the competitors coming out with new devices. You could definitely give it a try first and see if it fits your likes and needs.

A lot of the big tech review youtube and/or tiktok pages are very misleading. This device is 100% worth buying, especially when taking advantage of the open-box deals. Runs games smoother than the steam deck and with windows 10 integrated, it will only to continue to outperform it’s competitors. The early release kinks will be worked out by ASUS. Definitely recommend buying this device if you’re an experienced PC gamer and tech junkie. I haven’t put it down since I got it and my PC misses me.

I Love it! It's basically a handheld laptop. But unlike all the others out there Asus will continue to push updates and support fixing old problems and addressing new ones. You don't really get that with the other indiegogo or crowd funded devices. The built in Armorcrate and easy to use tweaking controls are amazing, My one and only complaint is battery life, but when using top of the line components you should expect some parts to have to catch up with a little time. Also thank you Best Buy for your $60 a month for 12 months plan. It made it much easier to afford such a great gift for my Sons birthday.

Works very well with the windows games I have that can't be played on Steam Deck (ie. Overwatch 2 & Gundam Battle Operations 2). My only negative is the SDcard reader flaw that se3ms to be happening to practically everyone. Tried Sandisk and Samsung 512gb and they both stopped. Popped them in my laptop and was reading fine. It's a flaw within the ROG Ally software. If they get that fixed, I'll give it 5 stars. Until then... I'll just have to have everything on the SSD!

Great performance and a sleek design. The user interface could be better designed to help streamline useage to newcomers of windows based devices. The software/firmware/bios could always be updated to help alleviate the aforementioned issues and battery life concerns. The controller aspect of the handheld hasn’t given me any issues and the 1080p screen is perfect for the size of the device. Overall I am happy with the product and as long as Asus keeps providing new updates.

THE BEST HANDHELD HANDS DOWN. Especially paired with XG Rog Mobile. I can not stress enough that this is better than a steam deck. This is pretty much win11 w/ steam deck abilities, and more freedom to do whatever because its a handheld windows pc. If you do end up getting this product I highly recommend a mobile gpu. The handheld can handle all AAA games, at about 30-40 fps @ 30watts, and this is with ultra graphic setting! very comparable to playing ps4 back in the day on the tv! I use this because I travel a lot, a lot of travel work! You can also expand the storage!
