Customer Ratings & Reviews

Better and more portable than an actual laptop. Perfect for gaming as well as being in discord called with friends. I was able to play games like Marvel Rivals on it with no issue as we as watch videos on streaming sites seamlessly.

Absolutely love it. Havent had any problems with it, bought myself a silicone case protector and it works fine with it., been able to play just about every game i like. Fortnite, 7 days, COD, marvel rivals with no problems. And it seems to adjust the settings on games itself which is great cause im dumb for that xD

This thing is amazing. If you only play games in 1080p or lower, this is the handheld. Its perfect in hand or docked mode. It'll be even better when it gets official steam os

Almost every complaint I had with the Orginal Ally has been addressed in the Ally X. It runs way cooler and quieter, and you get to gane for way longer with the bigger battery

absolutely amazed by the portability and power within the size of this thing great thermals especially when connected to external display

This thing is perfect for portability, and has even replaced my laptop in "everyday carry" backpack. i purchased this primarily for gaming but the docked experience has made it easy to replace my laptop (with the appropriate peripherals). You cannot expect 4090 quality out of it, but the games i play run smooth and some even at 120FPS. If you want a handheld gaming experience with the added benefit of a full windows machine. Can't go wrong with the ROG ally X.

The screen is amazing and looks great in most lighting conditions and it's a pleasure to travel with. Absolutey love the design and the feel of the input controls. What i don't love is the lacking warranty, you can't even extend the warranty with ASUS. The device is great the lack of warranty is troublesome.

I upgraded from the original ROG Ally, and I'm very happy that I did. My review will focus on the expectations and overall experience I've had with the Ally X, as well as my experience with Asus. Initial Impressions - The ROG Ally X has significantly better battery life relative to the original Ally, and in absolute terms, it is impressive. This makes the Ally X a bit heavier, but in exchange for that, you get much longer gaming sessions when disconnected, and much less worry about the remaining battery life. The Ally X also charges reasonably fast in my opinion. The display is great, the audio is good. The overall layout is very comfortable for portable gaming. I've had gaming and software issues and Asus is very helpful and I think they have great support that will go to great lengths to solve issues. Expectations: I don't think this is the way brand new AAA titles should be played. The reality is that the hardware is just close but not quite there. You can bring quality down, and that's the sacrifice you'll have to make. Instead, I think of this as a handheld that can play less demanding titles and games that are a few years old very well. Also, more casual games that aren't graphically intense play excellent on this device.

Excellent product, runs most games, even AAA games, with compromises on fps and low to medium settings, battery life is decent, as a handheld pc it does just about everything you want it to do, with a dock and peripherals it's a really nice setup, though it's hard to justify getting it over a laptop at that point. But if you already have a proper pc setup and just want on the go, considering its limitations, this'll do great!

After a year with this handled i love it and dose everything i need it to do . Fantastic for when im traveling for work and have some down time. Its not without its issue's being a window's handheld with that being said i have had minimum issue's with it

Everything about this hand held is awesome except for 2 things, 1. Windows 11 sucks for a gaming operating system 2. The battery life sucks . I know I know this model has the bigger battery capacity but still, if you run a graphics intensive game you’re looking at an hr and a half at most. Other than that, it’s a beast! Runs any game I want. If there was a number 3. On the this it would be price point, I found it to be a little expensive. But yeah, if you’re looking for a hand held gaming device, this is it. Hope this helps.

The ROG Ally X is a big step up from the original. The 80Wh battery is a game changer, it lasts way longer so you don’t have to charge as often. It also has a 2280 SSD slot, which means you can upgrade to a bigger SSD easily. If you're thinking about getting a handheld, get this one instead of the 16gb rog ally. Better battery, better storage options, just better all around!

Good battery life, great performance, but lackluster screen. And definitely a mini jet with its fans. That all being said, still one of the better handhelds on the market

I have put in about 2 weeks fo gaming on this while moving to another city and so far it doesn't disappoint. Battery life lasts as long as expected and I can play on it for hours before getting tired of holding it. I have been playing all types of games and it seems to holding it's own even with heavy graphic games. I wish it would auto pop up video games instead of having me navigate to the window, but that may be a setting thing I need to figure out.

Ever since purchasing the Ally X I have used it almost every day. It is the perfect companion device to your PC and if you don’t own a PC then well, these handhelds are basically PC’s anyway. This thing is pretty strong, I mostly play in turbo mode and have really enjoyed the performance. Windows just recently released the Xbox fullscreen experience and I’ll be honest, I really don’t see a difference performance wise. If you don’t care about gamepass, try Bazzite, you won’t regret it as the performance gets a massive boost. You can also dual boot if you don’t want to miss out on gamepass games. It is such a good product and I would highly recommend purchasing!

This is an improvement on the original Z1E ROG Ally in many ways. Is it heavier? Slightly, but ergonomically, it's easier to hold. Battery life is doubled. The black shell does a better job of hiding blemishes. The larger footprint on the SSD makes it easier, and cheaper, to find upgrades. The buttons are smooth and don't stick as much as the earlier entry.

AAA games on the go. Enough said. It’s basically a mini PC. Runs quiet, cools well and plays for a good duration of time thanks to the 80wh battery. Honestly worth every penny!

Does everything it is advertised to do. A little nitpicky about internet, but other than that, it’s great.

The battery life is outstanding, and the performance is the best in class compared to other Z1E/7840U/8840U devices. The comfort is hands down best in class. The only downside is the software that comes with the device. It’s mediocre. Fortunately, there’s an open-source project called HandheldCompanion that will soon add support. Their app is infinitely superior to Armory Crate. It’s not a cringe “gamer” app that stinks. Overall, this is the best handheld on the market. If you were considering a Steam Deck, don’t bother. You can just install a Linux distribution called Bazzite on it, and you’re there.

The best video game console, no issues at all. ROG Ally is the next stage evolution for mobile PC Gaming.” “It offers a beautiful screen on the go and can play almost any game at the right settings, without emulation.” It's comfortable, easy to use and fully immersive.
