Customer Ratings & Reviews

Way better than I expected! It’s definitely not as bulky/heavy as I thought it would be and I love that it’s so easy to use. Definitely what I was looking for to be able to game on the go without the hassle of carrying a large gaming laptop.

Amazing for the price. This keeps up with my Dell XPS desktop and was 1/3 the price! Battery life is the only drawback for me so far, after a month of use. Its best used plugged in but you can get 1-2 hrs unplugged. Can dock to TV with accessories or use it as a full blown pc (this is full Windows 11)

At first i was a bit sceptical about a mobile gaming console since its my first one. I didnt think it would run smooth due to its size. I was mindblown on how it plays and all the functions on it and i can play almost any game thats downloadable on pc as well as steam and xbox games yet small enough to carry comfortably. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Incredibly powerful computer in its own right, and amazing for gaming. Portable and convenient and still gets fps that rivals my few year old custom built pc. Only drawback is the battery life, lasting only 2 hours on AAA games, but there are ways to have it last longer. I got this instead of the steam deck and I am not disappointed.

I was thinking for $400 this wasn't a bad device to get. I am more than pleasesd with the device. Even though this is the Z1 version and not the Z1 Extreme, I have enjoyed using the device. My con against the device would be the battery. Everything has worked completely fine. I would definitely recommend this device if you can get it for $400.

I was thinking of buying a laptop for my work purpose. I have been dreaming to get the Rog Ally since its launch and at the price of 399$ it was worth every penny. Docked with the monitor and it turns into PC for all the work purpose and gaming ready device which normal laptop cannot handle in this price range. So this is the Best Buy for me.

Works good, overall is a good option if you wanna try a console and you are a casual player that plays time to time, the battery last around 1 hour, could be more and less depending on what are you playing and in which mode you are playing (if is turbo, consumes more battery and faster). The storage could be better but you can always buy a ssd card and replace it with other with more storage. Recommended to buy it when it’s on sale. (I would recommend it for people that likes the switch but want to try games that are not available in the Nintendo Store)

With a lot of different options on the market now for handheld gaming PCs it’s tough to know which one to go for. The ROG is decently powerful and super versatile, and I honestly love the RGB touches that mimic my gaming desktop set up. It is able to run anything I try, with some performance compromises needed on big open world games like InfinityNikki. I find the UI actually pretty easy to use and I love being able to run games from Steam, Epic, and Xbox game pass. The only drawback is the size; it is huge and somewhat uncomfortable to handle. I do think this helps with heat and battery life, though, which I found to be pretty good all things considered.

Honestly speaking the only complaint I have about this is the battery life, other than that im in love lol, running an streaming games run realllyyy smooth, I’ve play cod, apex, and battlefield with no issues. I do recommend buying a 1-2TB ssd for more storage if your going to be downloading EMUs an Roms

This is the product for my grandson to use for Christmas. Totally defendable. With best quality in easy to use which enjoyable to watch him with joyful heart when playing the games. The value is just perfect with excellent piece item which I know will last for years.

Honestly you see a lot of comparisons out there, i had the steamdeck OLED and while it was great it didn't really blow me out the water. The major drawback was linux couldn't run anti cheat so i couldn't play the majority of my games unless you went through getting windows which was pointless because it only worked half the time. Got rid of steamdeck picked up rog ally z1 and it runs beautifully. I can run cod, R6, forza, apex, and more without any real hiccups. Do yourself a favor nd get this one, as for storage highly recommend upgrading internal ssd to 2tb therefore you don't need to worry about an SD card. It's 5 screws and plug and play. I take this instead of my gaming computer with me when I'm tdy for military because it performs that well.

I got this on sale for $400 so the performance is great for the price. So far I was able to play Jedi: Fallen Order at max settings at a fairly stable 30 fps with mods. If you have the budget for it I would definitely recommend the Z1 Extreme model but for only $400 this is great

Amazing device!!! I’m very satisfied with it. I can PC game wherever, with wifi of course. If i didn’t have my my main PC i would def use this as my primary. My ONLY gripe is the battery. It sucks soooo bad lol just keep it on charger. And low battery mode when you aren’t on the charger…other than that BEAST OF A DEVICE

Ended up getting the rog ally shortly after seeing my friend's ally. Absolutely love it. For how small it it, it packs a punch. My friend showed me cyberpunk 2077 on the highest settings and it ran super well What's nice is that youre not stuck with only steam. You can have other game apps like epic games and gog. Youre also not stuck to just handheld mode, you can buy a dock to play on your tv/monitor. Overall, i love this handheld and glad i got it.

I loved it because it was cheap,i ran tcm,and rainbow six seige and a nice fps.i had a blast playing my xbox games on a handheld,Not only that it came with FREE XBOX GAME PASS:).it saved me so much money and the best buy team was very friendly and kind to me.Recomend buying worth ever dollor.:))

One of the best purchases I've ever made. This is powerful enough to play most of the games I played ( Destiny 2, NBA 2k24, fallout 4). I love this device so much I bring it with me everywhere I got.

I'm a lapsed gamer. I was a big console gamer for years and life got in the way of me playing. The Rog Ally has brought me back. I would love to sit in front of my tv and game for hours, but this would mean putting all the household responsibility on my wife so I can be in the basement gaming. The Rog Ally has allowed me to continue to spend time with my family and game at the same time. I love the fact that it runs windows so I can play a large array of games that fit my tastes. The graphics are fantastic and it feels great in your hands. The negative is really the battery life. I've never really gotten the described battery life while playing. But if I am also playing for hours and hours at a time, I put it on a dock and play on the tv with an Xbox controller. The Rog isn't a replacement for a console or a hardcore gaming computer. What it does well is provide a gaming platform for people who want to game, but want to be with their family while they do it. Or that want to game but travel for work. I love it. I love that it allows me to enjoy my hobby while not interrupting my family time. It's a great system.

Love this handheld just wish the battery lasted an hour longer on intense games. It's fun when it's cold out and I can just be in bed playing something. Can use it as a home media system to. Takes up less overall space than a laptop.

There are a lot of reviews and youtube videos out there claiming this non-extreme version of the Ally is inferior or “irrelevant”. I’m here to tell you, don’t listen to them. This thing is more than capable of your portable PC gaming needs. I’m able to average 100 frames in Overwatch 2 on low settings, and there’s no stutter or lag. If you want high frames/performance, you have to play on low settings. If you want the best graphics, you won’t get high frames. You have to compromise with this device; you can’t have your cake and eat it too. However, it’s 100% capable of running triple A games while remaining buttery smooth and cool to the touch. If you don’t want to pay $700 or more, and if you don’t want the steam deck due to the lack of xbox game pass, then this is the one for you!

The ROG Ally impresses with its portable design, vibrant display, and strong performance for gaming, but battery life could be better. Overall very satisfied!
