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.

    I travel for work staying in hotels or being in a car passenger seat and i am never home to play the games on my computer like i want to. This is hands down the best thing i have gotten, runs everything smooth, great graphics and is super convenient for my situation!

    The battery lasts a lot longer this time around. The console is more comfortable to hold. Games run good on it. The only downside is the triggers making weird noises but reddit seems to believe this can be fixed via lubricating the springs.

    Amazing! My fiance has a ps5 and uses the tv, so I wanted something portable so I could sit on the couch with him and play. I am amazed by the picture quality and loading speed. I am not a hardcore gamer (came from playing on switch) but even my fiance is amazed by the quality of this hand-held!

    I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. It works super well and has all kinds of things you can do on it. My kids like to use it as well. We've had it for a while now and haven't had any issues.

    I love this thing. It is so nice to be able to take this on the go with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Can still take my steam games and make progress on them. The graphics wont be as good as your normal PC but at least it can run it unlike the steam deck. You can also get a docking station for it and plug it into a monitor/tv.

    This handheld has quickly become my primary gaming system. Dual-booting Windows and Bazzite to maximize utility and access to my large legacy Steam library has been great. The built-in display is fantastic, and having the ability to charge and hook up XR glasses (Viture Pro) for a "big screen" experience is a game changer. I have logged 40+ hours on Hogwarts Legacy and time in many other AAA titles so far, and it has handled the task admirably. This is the king of handhelds right now.

    Picked this up awhile ago in preperations for a trip and I gotta say im very happy with it. As a steamdeck owner having the option to pick this up when I just want a windows client is very nice. i find it easy to navigate in the hand held mode and havent had many major issues, the only thing ive had issues with would be the keyboard hiding when im clicking into a prompt box.

    Portable Gaming Beast, Console Power in Your Hands

    The ROG Ally X is everything I hoped it would be and more. As someone who travels often for work, I needed a powerful, portable gaming setup—and this delivers. It handles AAA titles with ease, has a sharp and responsive display, and the controls feel solid and comfortable even during long play sessions. What really impressed me is how it balances performance with portability. It’s compact enough to take anywhere but still packs enough punch to run demanding games smoothly. Battery life is noticeably improved over the original model, and the upgraded storage and memory options make a big difference. If you’re a gamer on the go and want PC-level performance without lugging around a full laptop or desktop, the Ally X is worth every penny. Highly recommended if you’re serious about handheld gaming.

    I've been using the Roy Ally X for a few weeks now, and I'm very impressed with its performance. The battery life is outstanding, allowing me to use it for extended periods without worrying about constant recharging. One of my favorite features is the extra fan, which efficiently cools down the machine, preventing any overheating issues during intensive tasks. Additionally, the sleek black color is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, as it doesn't show dirt easily. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend the Roy Ally X to anyone looking for a reliable and well-designed device.

    Best Handheld Gaming option!

    This is a great handheld gaming machine for anyone looking to play their favorite games on the go (or at work, while on break)! I've had this for a little over a month now and haven't had any issues, so far! I do tend to use this mostly to play WoW while on break at work with a hub so I can hook up to peripherals and use my own hotspot - but I've also used it a bunch of times when I have friends over to play Palia so they don't have to cram into my computer room. I use the JSAUX case with hard front cover so I can just slip this into my backpack and go.

    For me it's the best portable video game Because I can have my entire video game collection on a single device And I feel that the components of this console are quite premium

    Bought this for my little brother because he travels and he loves it when he is at the airport during layovers or even during mid flight. A lot of people on the flight would ask him about the device, it definitely turns people's heads

    The ROG Ally X is an amazing handheld gaming device! The performance is top-notch, allowing me to play even demanding AAA games without a hitch. The vibrant display and fast refresh rate make games look incredible, and the ergonomic design means I can game comfortably for hours. I also love the versatility—being able to dock it and play on a larger screen is a fantastic feature. ASUS really nailed the balance of power, portability, and ease of use with this one. Definitely worth it for anyone looking for a premium gaming experience on the go

    Way much better than SteamDeck, both performance and battery life. And Windows brings all the possibilities for gaming. Need 2TB and 4TB version, 1TB is never enough.

    Extremely comfortable. One of the best handhelds on the market. I was tossing up between this and the steam deck and ultimately went with the rog and I’m very happy that I did. Performance is way above the steam deck and it supports windows AND steam OS. Best of both worlds!
