Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very cool system, you can hook it up to your tv and play it like a regular console, or use it to power a desk setup with keyboard & mouse. Very convenient for being able to play games anywhere you desire. 10/10 would recommend, it’s also fairly easy to use if you are somewhat technologically inclined. If you can use a windows pc then you will have no problem using this. Also you can use AirPods with it and any controller you desire.

Battery life and ram make a world of difference. Windows is finicky but everything runs on this thing.

This thing is a beast. It’s like carrying a mini gaming PC in your hand. The screen is bright, the 120Hz refresh rate is super smooth, and it runs most games way better than expected. Great for on-the-go gaming or just lounging around without being stuck to a desk.

If you're a gamer this is the best of Console & PC gaming, if you just need a PC thats smaller than a laptop but bigger than a phone this is it, play Xbox, Playstation, & PC games all in the same place with the benefits of portability as well as the abilities to have full computer access & functions

I am able to play all my games on the go. No other controller is necessary as with a gaming laptop. Being able to change frame rates, desktop to game pad mode is great. There is a lot of storage so I can play larger games like Genshin Impact, ZZZ, Wuthering Waves. All the free to play gatchas run smooth and no issues. It docks neatly to the TV via adapter. The battery life is about 4-6 hours depending on the game. Definitely an upgrade from the steamdeck.

I recently purchased the ROG Ally X from Best Buy and opted for their three-year product replacement plan, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. From start to finish, the process was smooth and hassle-free. First, let's talk about the device itself. The ROG Ally X is a powerhouse of a machine. It delivers exceptional performance with its impressive specs, handling everything I throw at it with ease. Whether it's graphically-intensive gaming or multitasking various software applications, it performs flawlessly and without lag. The design is sleek and modern, making it not just an efficient piece of technology but also a stylish one. The display quality is outstanding, providing sharp and vibrant visuals that enhance the overall user experience. Purchasing through Best Buy was equally commendable. The staff was knowledgeable and helped me navigate through the various options to ensure I chose a plan that best suited my needs. The three-year product replacement plan is an excellent addition, offering peace of mind knowing that my investment is protected. It's reassuring to have such a comprehensive plan in place, should anything go wrong, making Best Buy a reliable and customer-focused retailer. In summary, I'm thrilled with my ROG Ally X and the support I received from Best Buy. This experience truly deserves a full five-star rating!

Heavier than a switch but plays a variety of games well, works well for those with an Xbox Gamepass subscription as well given the access to the library of games.

I have had this for a few weeks and have zero complaints! I never realized how much I would enjoy a handheld and now I can’t put it down!

Asus listened to its consumers and fixed everything that was a pain with the Rog Ally gen1. This this is the king of gaming handheld PCs, with performance, size, ergonomics and hardware quality. Everything feels crisper and cleaner on the X coming from the gen1 Ally. Not to mention the doubled battery life is the cherry on top. Bring the price down $100 or more and it's a go every day of the week.

Battery Life depending on the game is Decent, Memory and Hard drive space is adequate, Tends to get a little warm. Windows has its limitation, would be better if it ran linux os. but over all its a good buy.

The right combination of comfort, battery life and performance for the perfect portable gaming machine!

Ditched my desktop to run this with my RTX 4090 in a USB4 dock. Noting I 'downgraded' from a 7950x3D direct-die cooled with enough of an undervolt to sustain 5.25GHz while gaming. The latency issues I first experienced with Thunderbolt eGPUs back in 2016 doesn't appear to be a problem now. When docked, the CPU will make use of the full 30W and maintain 4.2-4.3GHz. Its effectively on part in gaming experience to a TDP limited R7 7700. I keep the VRAM setting in AUTO, which isn't a problem if you're not keeping an insane amount of background applications open to eat system RAM. It otherwise just makes a certain amount of RAM unusable if using an eGPU. Handheld performance is much better than my Steam Deck OLED. The 7" 1080p screen is noticeably better than the 7.4" 800p screen, the performance being on par. Battery life seems on par if not better. The default 17W profile is plenty, and Asus definitely tuned these profiles better than the first ROG Ally. Some people might fret the pricing, but considering its about the same cost of an R7 7700 desktop platform (minus the PSU and dGPU) while also being a handheld makes it a more economical option for someone who is interested in a desktop and handheld.

Have a steam deck and the rog ally x, im going for this more now for the ease of all the other launchers. Plays tripple A games and battery life is greatly improved over the original. Great handheld

Owning the Asus ROG Ally X feels like having the ultimate gaming experience in the palm of your hands. From the moment you unbox it, the sleek design and premium build scream quality. It’s lightweight but sturdy, and holding it feels natural—like it’s meant to be with you wherever you go. The buttons and joysticks have a satisfying responsiveness, and the matte finish gives it a refined, high-end touch. Turning it on is where the magic happens. The screen pulls you in instantly—it’s bright, vibrant, and fluid, making every game feel alive. But it’s not just about how it looks; it’s how it feels to finally have the freedom to play whatever you want, wherever you are, without compromising on quality. Whether you’re curled up on the couch, commuting, or even just killing time, the Ally X makes every gaming moment feel exciting and personal. There’s zero regret here. It’s like a handheld portal to your favorite worlds, and the convenience it brings is unmatched. You don’t just own the ROG Ally X—you experience it, and it reminds you why you love gaming in the first place.

This is a great overall handheld device, works very nice, customizable, and very comfortable to grab, long battery life and better performance than other’s competitors such as lenovo legion and even steamdeck. Highly recommend it.

Amazing gaming system. But also very convenient to setup into a desktop. With a dock and some cables you can have a pc anywhere you go. 5/5 purchase.

The ROG Ally X is an excellent product, very solid in terms of performance and build quality, which justifies my 5-star rating. However, I believe the screen design could be improved. The black bezels are a bit wide and could be optimized to make better use of the display space, especially considering the large battery, which provides extended usage time without compromising the device's ergonomics.

Love it, the best I wanted to upgrade from a laptop to something more portable, even though the pricing is steep in my opinion it's completely worth it because you can bring it anywhere and also play almost any games and so far I haven't had any games issues would recommend. The 1 TB is also great but I upgraded to a 4 TB instead

A powerful (mobile) gaming machine, working out the gate with ASUS's Armoury Crate software and Windows 11! I opted to load Steam OS over Windows 11 for performance reasons, but the Armoury Crate software allows for a plethora of gaming customization, from the refresh rate and TDP functionality and control to the resolution as well at the touch of a screen. It outperforms the Steam Deck models in almost every metric as well!

Its a good handheld overall. The only issue it was that i found dead pixels but i was unlucky to get this. Other in that the console its so good, good performance and excellent battery life.
