Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent gaming device to play most games with. I do like that its basically a handheld Windows PC. So far I have tried a few games such as Diablo 4 with it...and it runs it well with the turbo mode on. CoD type games may run on low settings ok, but i havent tried any fps's with it yet. The setup time was time consuming and buggy, but it seems to be running normally now. Overall it is a handy device and myself and the kids are enjoying it.

Definitely worth it for what it is, takes a little to get used to but plays games flawlessly

I can do so much on the Rog Ally! I can play game pass games, remote play to the PS5, steam, pc, and much more! Absolutely love my Rog Ally! I wish it had a bigger hard drive, but external storage works great!

Good for the price, I got it for 350 open box. Will play games just not at epic lol

For the sale price it's great. Plays all my steam games. Even Alan Wake 2 when you adjust settings

Battery Life Sucks but great device overall. Screen is nice

There are only two things that stop this from being a 5: Windows and the existence of the Steam Deck. Ah Windows, the double-edged sword. It provides the access to games that Linux/Proton-based SteamOS can't, but Windows just isn't built for controller- and touch-based navigation. ASUS tried to make up for it, which helps a bit. The Ally is better for running Windows, but the experience needs to be improved. The Steam Deck is about as close as you can get to a console-like experience for a PC handheld. It does a dramatically better job in the UI/UX department. The Ally feels good in hand, runs games well, and has a reasonable battery life for the games it can run. This Z1 processor version is underpowered compared to the Z1E version, so as long as you keep your expectations in check this'll be a good buy.

Great for on the go play if you really don't want to power on the console. Small but mighty PC!

great device, came like new for a great price. best bang for your buck on a handheld pc

Definitely the best handheld on the market battery could be better but definitely worth the money!!!!!

In a world where the Steam Deck OLED exists, the ROG Ally finds it hard to compete. The entry level model in combination with holiday sales and open-box offerings help in this regard and surprisingly the performance is very comparable to the Steam Deck. I would recommend as an entry point to Windows handheld gaming.

Really enjoy yhe Asus Ally The device is very good and the additional software made my gaming libary work really well Games were fluid and performed well my library of games from steam and gog loafed and ran well Only piece was somw of the controlls needed so.e adjustments to work well But overall I really like this device and enjoy my games on Having a windows based device is a plus

I personally love it and thought my kid will also enjoy it but he will rather use his xbox or ipad. I think is a great device but is not for everyone. During the update process the device stopped booting, I had to recover the OS, other than that it works as advertised. It's not as easy as an Xbox or ipad for kids, computer experience is required.

I purchased the Z1 unit over the Z1 extreme due to the excellent sale price of $399. I had low expectations of being able to play my favorite AAA games on descent settings. I was absolutely blown away by the performance. I purchased the Legion Go before Christmas, and you would think that it's listed high performance specs would highly outperform this one. No in the least! The Legion Go is an example of great hardware but software that does not work well with it. Games played nowhere near the quality of the ROG basis unit. I can play Destiny 2 on the highest settings and Call of Duty Modern Warefare 3 on normal. The unit fits in your hand well and the Armour Crate works wonderful. You can set the VRAM to auto or set to any amount you like. Auto work fine in everything I've tried. Asus got this one right and proves that you don't need the greatest hardware specs if you have the software that works well to maximum efficiency. In my opinion, only get the Z1 Extreme if you plan to connect to an external monitor at a higher resolution. Otherwise, this little powerhouse should meet your needs. I highly recommend taking advantage of the $200 discount to $399.

Outstanding performance for the price point. Works recommended for any gamers.

The Ally, really is the best handheld ive owned. Its really powerful the z1 extreme version that is. Its running games the steam deck cant play at all. The controls are good, alittle odd to hold. The screen is colorful and vibrant. The updates are the best part. Gyroscope, fsr, fixes, more power ro balalce out the modes to play in. The interface is pretty easy to use. And its on sale alot!

Excelent product, awesome performance, best prices,

Great and powerful gaming in a compact and capable device. I love this handheld pc! Great product and great customer service from Asus AND BestBuy

Bought this to replace my 6 year old. cheap gaming laptop. Does everything i need it to do. If i need more power, i keep it plugged in. Bought used best buy deal, paid under $300. Play it everyday.

I recently purchased the Asus ROG Ally, and I must say, it has become an absolute lifesaver during our car rides and downtime at various places. This portable device has not only kept my boys entertained but has also managed to make our journeys much more peaceful. The device's battery longevity has consistently met our needs, making it a reliable choice for on-the-go entertainment.
