Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great at running most games, but a poor battery life and a clunky operating system.

While good for gaming buyers should understand that this is a handheld PC and not a strictly a game console. Its great for mobile gaming especially while on the bus though you should moderate your expectations when it comes to game settings. As always Windows 11 is a less than appealing experience but is usable once you've tweaked it. 23h2 Installs can do the nro bypass with a usb otg keyboard but 24h2 will need to make a custom windows install and manually download apps as needed.

Great device for on the go gaming pc. I take it everywhere with me

This thing is great once you get it “optimized”. Out of the box it is plenty powerful but watching a YouTube guide on how to truly maximize performance really brings this thing to life. I am a pc gamer and wanted to be able to play my games while away from home and this fits that perfect with quite impressive performance for the price and size. Would highly recommend the ROG ALLY X.

I easily spend two-three hours a day on this device. Everything from using my favorite streaming service to playing some of my favorite games, I love having the ability to take my media library anywhere that I am going.

Asus took an already solid platform in the ROG ally and made it even better! The upgrade in memory and SSD size results in Better performance in games and more room to store them. Plus, the micro SD slot gave me the ability to increase my storage capacity to 2.5 TB total! Plenty of room to add all the games I would want to take on the road, eliminating the need for a separate SSD. If you are looking for a small form factor gaming pc the Asus Rog Ally is a solid contender worth consideration.

I never owned the original because when I tested it out I really didn’t find the handheld ergonomic at all and was nervous about the battery life This has improved the ergonomics and although it’s not as comfortable as a regular controller for me it’s still fine. Runs every game I’ve played just some AAA need to turn down settings but still looks fine for this size of screen Battery is like 1.5-2 hours on turbo, but if running older less demanding games on silent, can get tons of play time of out this

Coming from the original Ally this one is AMAZING. The upgrades for me are perfect I’m a big Call of Duty player so that’s what I use it for the most on the go. The battery life alone has me hooked on it, way longer than the old one. Not the best but it’s definitely an improvement worth noting. The ergonomics are a nice change as well I didn’t notice the difference until I played the old one for an hour and the new one for an hour. Overall if you can afford upgrading I would for the battery but the if not you aren’t missing that much.

This has been one of the most back-and-forth purchases I've ever made. On the one hand, it is AWESOME. You can play *almost* everything (not switch or PS5 only games of course) on the go, and the games play SO WELL. The processing on this is incredible. On the other hand, it is EXPENSIVE and I don't really need it since I mostly console game and I'm not on the go that much. But, I'm keeping it, and that should tell you how awesome it is.

I love this handheld way batter than i expected a handheld to be This powerfull. No problem playing gta, fortnite, red dead, minecraft, ect. I have alot of dead time at my job and fly a fue times a year so its nice to play games on my deadtime.

I did end up returning it but it wasnt because it was bad i just realized i wasnt using it enough and i wished the screen would be a lot bigger. Overall it was great and did enjoy it. Quality was good and it did not feel flimsy.

Amazing device for gaming. Best device for gamepass

Awesome product I use it to play call of duty and other games while on travel.

Basically just a portable pc pricey but worth it. I got this to be able to play my steam library on the go since i cant really escape to my pc room to play. Setup was just like setting up any new pc. Games I have look good and run fine. Feels comfortable to hold. Really only downside is the battery life. For long gaming sessions might as well make sure you are plugged in.

Fantastic handheld gaming PC, with substantial improvements over the original model. The Ally X increased battery capacity over the original model, adds more RAM which helps performance in several game titles, and also switches from a 2230 NVMe drive slot to a full 2280. The case needed a little more work to pry open compared to the original Ally when upgrading the SSD, and the new placement of the USB ports moves them much closer to the left bumper, but these are minor annoyances in an otherwise fantastic update to the design.

Went in for a steam deck, left with this guy. It's definitely more expensive than the steam deck, but it comes with 1TB of storage and it handles really well. It does have some lag when you use a wired mouse with it, making playing some games a little frustrating. But the built in controllers work really well. I just play better with keyboard and mouse.

I got this because my job involves a lot of sitting waiting for a call and man it’s solid it plays all the games I would normally play on my pc with lowered graphic setting obviously, I do have problems with stuttering quite frequently on certain games but nothing so bad to where it’s unplayable, I don’t know if it’s the device itself or just poorly optimized games but other than that it’s awesome, I got myself a carry case off Amazon and you can’t even tell you have it in your bag.

This is great long battery good graphics. Operating system works perfectly good storage.

Fantastic product. There are just so many options out there in the market and some newer ones coming out soon. As of now, Top 3 in the market but possible upgrades coming out soon.

Nice and powerful lol I was running a casaos server on this on the go and it was a beast I hade my Minecraft server and all the PC games with anti cheat this is a beast
