Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's an excellent device. Very simple to use. Windows is not much of a hassle as others would have you believe. Its very capable, the screen is amazing, storage is decent and believe me when I say that having it will make you game more.

This is amazing tech you can keep in a very large pocket, the operating system works well with the pre installed drivers, 45-60 fps on my favorite games I really like this device but the right side buttons are super loud like you'd give people sitting next to you a headache type of loud (you can fix this by using keyboard lube). Had this device for like a month so far and it still has almost no scratches, 0 on the screen. I would definitely have bought this a lot sooner if it was 500-600.

I’ve had my ROG Ally X for a bit now, and honestly, I love this thing. I play on it every single day. The performance is awesome and games run smooth, the screen looks great, and the controls feel super comfortable. It’s just really fun to use. I can pick it up whenever I have a few minutes, or sink into a longer session without any issues. It’s become my main way to game lately. If you’re thinking about getting one, I seriously recommend it.

Fully customizable. If you prefer another OS you can install easily and it is made for ease of hardware customization as well. If u wish to upgrade to bigger SSD its just unplug/plug. Also looks great for it not being oled. Dnt need more than 1080p for a screen this small. I recommend getting the MECHANISM gaming pillow for it is on the HEAVY side.

Been playing the Ally X for couple weeks now, and i love it. Best Christmas present ive gotten myself. I havnt even touched my consoles since this device does it all. Recommend for anyone that likes to play on the go!

Small but can handle every game impressive handheld

I love it! The first ROG Ally was my favorite handheld. I did own every one of the most recent handhelds until my apartment caught fire. This device gives me the ability to download more games and show them to run smoother because of the increase in memory. The jump from 16gb to 22gb, plus the increase in memory speed makes this handheld a beast. Now, this isn’t just coming from a fan boy. I’ve been an IT professional for about twenty years. This gives me a small computer I can transport just about anywhere when needed. Also, if you know how to install Steam OS, you can get a similar interface to the SteamDeck.

Asus did a great job at upgrading to this model from the OG. Battery life is amazing and Hardly feel like I have to charge it between sessions. Really happy that they went with all black for the plastic being that it ages better and shows less wear.

I love this thing it plays out in the games no leg I can stream it on Discord and show my friends who came on playing No Lag battery lasts forever

This handheld has blown my mind to be honest. I went into this thinking it would be really held back and not work well for most games regardless of what I paid. I found out that not only does it play games well but it also works great as a PC. It's a very versatile product and powerful. Works well on low power and can play games for good periods of time if your conscious of power consumption. Works well on power supply and has a safety feature so you don't ruin the battery when it's plugged in a lot or for long periods of time. I love this thing....

I jave had every handheld hardware and i can say for a fact, this one is the best ive held. I choose the lenovo go S due to its higher Ram thought it would give an edge but after one use of the rog ally x I'm blown away, its like I'm walking around with my xbox. Just an amazing product 10/10, just take from the box and start gaming.

We had an Rog Ally and this thing runs so much better than the regular version. The battery life is amazin compared.

This Ally X is an amazing Portable PC! I traded in my steam deck to get the ROG Ally X, and honestly it’s been such an amazing upgrade. Windows seems to work just fine on the system as I usually plug it into a monitor. The OS helps me run normal apps like a laptop, and games work with anti cheat just fine. I can play most games on normal settings without giving up on quality and performance. AMD’s native software also helps in frame generation at a lower resolution so 900p looks like 1080p! The performance is unmatched for any device of this price point, so I’d definitely recommend it!

I own a Steam Deck OLED and previously a Legion Go. The Ally X has all the power of the Go and the weight and size of a Steam Deck. I personally like the size and feel of the device and am surprised by how quiet and cool it stays. Not to mention its compatibility with alternate OSes like Bazzite. I’ve had zero problems running games at 60-90 fps. The battery life is also pretty good considering, though more AAA titles will definitely draw power, which isn’t a problem for this device. I also like how easy it is to upgrade the storage as compared to other handhelds.

Wow what a Great gaming machine the X runs Steam and Windows 11. The battery is great too play all the games you want.

This thing is fantastic. I have owned the steam deck, Legion Go, currently have a GPD Win 4 and I have to say this thing is a mini power house. I was beyond impressed with the battery life and how comfortable it is in the hand. Performance is great and I couldn’t be happier.

It is a fantastic Windows handheld device. Great battery life, great ergonomics, and good performance. Amazing cooling system, much improvement form the original and still has room for improvement.

I bought the handheld during a blackfriday deal (2024). As of the writing of this review (Feb 2025), I have nothing but great experiences with the gaming device. The rog ally X is basically a mini windows laptop; and with that said it was very easy for me to set up the device to my liking. If youre undecided whether to buy or not maybe this review is your sign to go for it! Its a neat handheld and not as mainstream as a steam deck so you will get that "wow" factor from other people when you use it in public!!

Intuitive and powerful with great battery life. Definitely recommend!

Takes about 30-40min for initial setup but then you're golden to start gaming. Being a Windows based machine you will run into the occasional instance of the handheld not knowing if to use Gamepad or Desktop mode so you'll need to manually switch to it but you'll have access to a bigger library of games than if you had a Linux based OS. The battery life is amazing and can last anywhere from 3 to 8-9 hours depending on how intensive your game is. The Ally X also has multiple Operating Modes to use less power and quiet fans or use max on both depending on what your current task is. My only con would be that the Dpad recently started to squeak when pressing down.
