Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did about a week worth of research every day i got off work everywhere from reviews to teardowns to ssd upgrades to what game are compatiable. I was thinking the steam deck but this opens up a world to play any game the steam deck but better and a lot more game options. Im not limited to steam only i can play any game u can put on a gaming pc i did purchase a 1tb ssd for this bad boy althoigh with cloud gaming available now i diddnt really need that mich extra memore the 512gb is plenty. This thing is a beast

I was going to get a steam deck but then I heard this was coming out and I’ve been researching both of these for a little while and then I saw it in person available for display. I was concerned about the comfort so I tried it out and I loved it and the fact that it’s a Windows 11 machine makes it to where gaming is limitless. I don’t see how people are complaining so much to be honest if you want something done right spend a little bit of time setting it up and properly updating it. This is by far the best portable I currently own for gaming

As stated this bad boy can play pretty much every game better with higher details than the steam deck PLUS it has native windows, which for me i pefer to linux on the steam deck. However i personally wish that it had 4 paddles on the back like the steam deck but i think im in a minority on that cuz the face buttons are more than good enough im just spoiled from the xbox elite controller. Overall i love the ally and i bring it everywhere and it has pretty much replaced my steam deck and inthink its worth the price diffrence to me.

Heard some units were faulty but mine came out perfect. Playing COD feels amazing , this also works with Nreal airs , if anyone wants to know. Device works very well, been watching videos and was thinking it would be a buggy mess but nope , flawless. I have both steam deck and Ally. Steam deck is awesome , games play very well if compatible, feels like a console, just can’t play some games like COD or any game with anti cheat. Ally can play everything , it’s a windows pc just in your hands with controller support. Hand held are the future 100%

I love this device. It has enough power to play a game on turbo mode for about an hour. It’s just like a regular windows computer with a touch screen and controller built in. You can also use the right thumbstick sort of like a mouse. The rear paddle buttons are nice. It’s great for farming things casually in World of Warcraft when combined with a wireless mouse. It’s important to do all of the updates for it though, they fix a lot of problems.

Awesome handheld console! Very easy to use and I just love it!

Has been excellent for me use it on days I have free time very solid buy!

I absolutely love my Ally, I play this thing every day and has become my main mobile gaming device! Destiny 2 on this thing is wonderful!

excellent portable console works very well good graphics easy to use any game will work very well

A hand held PC ready to be personalized and optimized. Can run in variable watts and will perform better than a switch or steam deck performance wise. Battery consumption not so much. Runs on windows 11, steam and Microsoft store come installed, other launchers readily available. 3 months of gamepass. Switched out the internal m.2 for a 2tb, micro SD cards ported on fan cooled vented dock with mouse and keyboard attached and a portable display on the way Overall a nifty gadget.

Excellent size to power ratio. Can run up to latest AAA games, may be difficult to play newer games coming out. If you are somewhat tech savvy, tweaking setting can yield best results with latest games. Get on sale, best deal for powerful handheld gaming.

It is a pretty awesome system. Basically like having a series x or pc in your hand. The best part is not constrained to your home when you want game. So far I have taken it to an auto shop and had to wait while they fixed my car, that would have been boring without an ally. I also have a nice setup at work to make downtime more enjoyable. 10 out 10 reccomend. I will say there were some hiccups here and there , but nothing that wants me to make a return. I also never used my sd card slot in case you was wondering.

This is very nice, great graphics but low batt life. Would recommend if you’re into less demanding games because battery life when running more demanding games seems to deteriorate quickly.

Overall it runs games on steam and other platforms but the integration with windows makes it a little confusing to use. I ran into problems where games didn't recognize the "controller" and thought I was playing on PC which made it impossible to play. Specifically this happened on Overwatch. After tweaking the settings I was impressed to see almost 120 FPS when playing games like Rocket League and Apex. If you want to keep getting high performance like 120 FPS I recommend staying close to an outlet. You will only get about 40 min on maxed out settings (as expected). There are some cool features like a finger print scanner so you don't have to use your Microsoft Account Pin every time. This leads me to my last point; you will need a Microsoft account if you don't have one already. I am sure Gamepass will work great on this unit (Unfortunately I was unable to test this) I think this unit has tremendous opportunity for growth. I might be giving the Asus Ally a 3 out of 5 right now but in 6 months that could easily change. I haven't reviewed the Steam Deck yet but follow Battle Vision Gaming on TikTok for more reviews.

Solid performance especially when playing diablo 4. Although the battery life is a bit short overall this is a great gaming handheld.

I ejoy my device.This is the second one the first one I had to return because it wasn't keeping a charge but this one is great.

So far, it's working great. Initially, I received a faulty item where the screen was not showing anything. Then, after the complaint, BestBuy replaced the product with a good one. It's running smoothly. However, I have to play with lower resolution for some games, such as FIFA23 or FC24. Otherwise, the game lags. But other heavy games, such as Forza Horizon, are playing smoothly. When I connect it to a monitor, the graphics really look awesome. My overall satisfaction is great.

I needed a new computer for work in school but also wanted a new console to play with for downtime. I was a little skeptical and getting a hand held console but after looking at all the reviews for this, I caved and it was probably one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's nice to have it available from my office space to game on a monitor and to be able to sit and game in the living room with while my wife watches her reality TV shows.

This machine is the perfect power house for on the go gaming. I was in the market recently looking for one because of my job and saw that this one was on it's way to release. After doing a little research I decided to pull the trigger and pre order. After of having the device you would be hard pressed not to see it in my hands it handles all the games that I want play with such ease including very recent titles like Street fighter 6 and Diablo 4. I can't express how much I am satisfied with this purchase.

I love the device, I’ve had it since launch day after some tweaks this thing is running just how I want it. It can play everything I throw at it. It does require some knowledge of windows and how to set things up, tweaking settings ect…I sold my steam deck for the rog ally and I have zero regrets. Don’t listen to the negative reviews ! Always awesome buying with Best Buy they have the best hassle free returns
