Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's runs everything I want. New games, old games, Office, programming tools. It's got plenty of RAM and a micro SD slot for data. The controls are comfortable and really customizable. The battery is good, better than I hoped.

Hands down the best purchase I’ve made in ages! Ultimate power and entertainment right in the palm of your hand. Want to play with friends? Just connect it to a screen, grab your Xbox controllers, and dive in. It’s gaming perfection — the best of the best!

Bought it open box. In excellent condition, like new. Battery life is amazing, huge upgrade from original allowing me to play about 4 hrs per day for 3-4 days on a single charge. And the device getting really really hot is now a thing of the past, not to mention much more comfortable to hold and play than the first Ally.

Had the original Z1 Extreme and the is a MARKED improvement. Feels better to hold, battery is much better imo, and getting 1TB SSD to start vs 512GB is awesome. Be advised: the X uses a 2280 SSD instead of the 2230 so make sure you're getting the correct one if you plan to expand

I love this gaming device, overall it was a great investment that i love using and my husband enjoys playing as well. The screen is awesome, the functionality is awesome. The only thing i would add is a backlight for the buttons

The ROG Ally X is an incredibly powerful device by the standards of something you can hold in your hands. If all you are seeking in a handheld console is performance, this is the console for you. However, if you are looking for the best overall experience, I would not recommend this. Microsoft's operating system on this device is incredibly frustrating. It just simply was not made to work with a device such as this. It can be used, but it is intensely clunky. If this device has a native OS - similar to that of the Steam Deck - I would be much more willing to recommend this over the Steam Deck. Reviewers of this device have made this same criticism many times, and I now understand why. There is also the issue of price. Although this is more powerful than a Steam Deck, it is substantially more expensive than a Steam Deck. This is especially frustrating when you realize how cheap the buttons and triggers feel. At $800, I find the price hard to justify.

I originally had the steamdeck and it was fun and easy to use. But i couldnt play my more beefy games. When i got this it was a game changer. Play any game i had in any library. If you have any familiarity with using a windows computer this should be no problem at all. Plus i can play stuff like starfield in the car or at work!!

I really love this machine. Im able tl play xbox games and steam games on it. It runs smoothly, 4 hours of play, good sound, good fps.

I was considering a mini gaming laptop but they're very pricey for the specs you need these days. I then considered the Asus ROG Ally or a Steam Deck and the bottom line was I could play more games on the ROG Ally and install non-gaming apps because it runs on Microsoft Windows. The ROG Ally is a bit on the heavy side for long periods of gaming. It doesn't have a built-in kickstand so I suggest getting one and then pairing your favorite controller. The controllers aren't that good for normal navigating on the Windows screen. The touch screen is very responsive but so small that finger navigating isn't as smooth as I'd like. It's like buying a mini gaming laptop without the higher price so well worth buying, IMO.

I’m a huge handheld gamer and this is a game changer. So powerful for its size and portability. I’m amazed with how this can run modern triple a games without a struggle. I grew up playing on a game boy and oh how times have changed. Wish this came out when I was a boy. This is a must for any person who considers themself a gamer

I am very happy with my rog ally x. Runs all my aaa titles with no problem. Software works good, it just works good! I had a aya neo geek and im way happy with the rog ally x. Its everything i wished the aya geek was. Biggest battery of all gaming handheld computers.

Works amazing, looks great, battery life is awesome. And I bought a dock so I can hook it up to my TV too. 10/10

Highly recommend this if you want to enjoy more games that are currently in your backlog. This handheld is perfect for a lot of games that tend to get put aside. I usually enjoy higher demand games and 1st party blockbuster titles. With this handheld I enjoy time on the couch, stay closer to the family and find new favorite games I never would have pulled up on my pc or PlayStation or Xbox etc

I love this handheld! It is a beast and can play most any game you throw at it. The versatility is amazing. I think battery life on all of the handhelds are mediocre but this can get you a good 2 hrs on max settings with most AAA games. If you are playing with lower settings you can get more from it. I am happy with the purchase and see myself using it for many years to come.

Amazing gaming console. I use it in handheld mode or sometimes use an external monitor. I even used it to back up pictures while on vacation. Battery life is great and the controls are comfortable in handheld mode.

Runs all the games i want and has a better battery life than the older model. If you have the xtra cash I would recommend this

I was on the fence for a long time looking at all the competition out there. I wish I'd bought the Ally X sooner. It's amazing for retro gaming. I've been playing it every day for the last month. I haven't even started in on my modern Steam game library. Everything up to PS3 runs flawlessly. I did purchase a 1Tb SD card, Bluetooth folding keyboard/mouse, Dbrand travel case and Tomtoc bag, so budget for those. I purchased a 4Tb NVME drive but I haven't used all my storage yet so I haven't installed it. I still need to buy a USB C to HDMI so I can try casting to a big screen. Emulation Station is an amazing UI. It did take a couple hours to setup retro gaming but now it runs flawlessly. Lots of googling gets you through it.

I had a steam deck and i loved it. This device allows me to play the main games I play regularly as it uses windows. Set up is a lot as it is a windows computer but this thing is a beast! Love it. Easy to change settings, runs AAA games great on the go. Highly recommend.

This product is amazing for traveling! It works great for gaming, and I can even use it for personal stuff since it’s a full PC. The Best Buy team was super helpful and gave me great advice on what I needed. I highly recommend this product to anyone!

Currently running battlefield on it, a little laggy but can’t believe it runs. Black ops zombies runs amazing though, Star Wars battlefront runs sooooooo smooth. Amazing product
