Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the ROG Ally X's overall performance, improved battery life, and ideal balance of portability and power as key strengths. The device also receives positive feedback for its screen quality, game compatibility, storage capacity, ample RAM, efficient heat dissipation, and acceptable noise levels. While the device is considered a bit heavy, the primary concern appears to be the user experience with the operating system.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Defective Unit

    Downloaded Steam and the Texas Chainsaw game. Played it and the graphics and inputs seem great. Until I downloaded Fortnite via Epic Store, i noticed the left upper shoulder button wasn’t clicking like the right upper shoulder button. Returned it. Kinda dissapointed because I put a screen protector and all the updates the system required via Windows, Armory Crate, My Asus App and Windows Store. Ally X should make it’s own gamestore intergrated with armory crate. I don’t know why but the Nintendo Switch OLED seems brighter as well. I guess it’s the OLED screen. I got an exchanged unit ordered. Hopefully everything works as advertised. If not, I’ll stick with my Nintendo Switch until Switch 2. Ally 2 needs a 8 inch 16 by 10 OLED screen and less Windows and more Armory Crate.

    I was very excited when purchasing the Rog Ally X. I had been playing on my steam deck for sometime but was getting sick of trying work arounds to play non steam games. I figured the Ally x would eliminate that. While the unit is able to download and play games like COD and others, it’s been a struggle with other games on steam. All in all it’s not any better than the steam deck. I wouldn’t purchase again.

    Handheld pc gaming is a great idea I just don't feel the technology is there yet. This is the best handheld so I gave it a try and the lag and performance just weren't up to what I prefer. I'm sure some people will love it, but to things to run fairly smoothly I have to mess with a ton of setting until it's right and when I try a different game I have to change them all again. I prefer a more relaxed game experience. I want to plug in and play. This is not for me.

    The RB in one game needs to be pressed twice in order for it to register when remapping the controls. Other than that, it seems fine. Something I will be keeping an eye on.
