Customer Ratings & Reviews

has everything you would need. power, with the z1e chip and 24gb of ram easily runs all your games and the 80wh battery makes it the most portable handheld out there. very good screen could be better if it was 8 inches.

The ROG Ally X is actually really good. My product had no defects out of the box which is great. 1tb storage is enough for some but not for me so I upgraded it myself. The Ally X works great and runs games well! It is fantastic and so far no issues. Get this if you can afford it. If not, get a steam deck. Both are fantastic!

I would give this five stars but the first one was buggy I almost thought it was me before I realized that I had done every troubleshoot and it still didn't work. I returned it and got a second one that worked like a breeze. I updated to a 4tb card which I filled with games. It still is buggy to where I would have to turn off the handheld and turn it back on. I played about two hours of Red Dead Redemption on it and then use it now as a pc connected to a monitor in my living room for now and with all the battery saving features I keep it connected to the doc. This thing is also lightly used and has a kill switch case on it so from the time I got it to now this thing has been used that way. I use this thing like a pc. Your experience may vary. So far it works faster than my other pc that you can't play games on. Which makes me want to use this for school and other productivity activities aside for gaming so I think this thing is good for anything.

I bought this as a travel gaming system, it blew me away. It plays any game I throw at it amazingly, very customizable, tons of cool mods. I 100% am happy with this purchase. Also the sales attendant was extremely helpful, and made the purchase smooth as possible. Games I’ve played on the device Clair obscure Doom dark ages Skyrim Helldivers High on life Osrs hd The isle Some games run better than others but I have yet to see one not run in high settings with great frames

I havent found a flaw with this device that i found with is predecessor and its competitor the steam deck. I owned both previous. I sold them as one left performance to be desired and the ally 2023 the performance was there but not the battery life and it being a handheld it made no sense for me to take it with me without battery banks and chargers to get only about 40 minutes of battery life with AAA games. So i returned it to best buy. This is exactly what i was looking for a year ago and im not disappointed. I now have 24gb of ram and the cpu and gpu have been optimized. With custom settings and amd afmf 2 drivers or using lossless frames app i get great frames if i need it. Games run great. It beats any other device when it comes to ps3 and xbox 360 emulation. Indie games just run forever on this device. I have been impressed so far.

I like this way better than my legion go. Yes, the screen is smaller but it run so buttery smooth and lighter as well. Great battery life! Awesome job ASUS! 24gb of memory is aweso.e as well!

Amazing performance. Armory crate really helps hides the windows flaws when it comes to a portable gaming experience. No complaints, amazing battery life, awesome screen, suburb performance. COD? Check RDR2? Check WoW? Check Play all your games!

This is my first handheld PC and I don’t regret my purchase at all. So much power in the Ally X, super impressive. I’m able to play games like Black Myth Wukong, Overwatch 2, Baldurs Gate 3 and Elden Ring with little to no issues whatsoever (obviously perfect for cozy games as well.) I already own a PC, but the convenience of having something like this just made me enjoy gaming all over again, especially with me traveling a lot these days. I plan to upgrade my SSD to 4TB’s because 1TB is just not enough. Definitely would recommend!

I absolutely love my Asus ROG ally! It has been so long since I’ve had a gaming computer, and I have this powerhouse that I can portably take with me has made me put my Nintendo Switch to the side and into retirement so I could truly enjoy games like Fortnite and Pal World and other awesome games from the PC and the power of my hands. It has been one of my best purchases and I would never ever ever go back to any other handheld system. I can even use it like a PC hooking it to a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and play games even build 3-D models.

Easily my favorite device I have owned. I used it as my main computer for a while, with a dock connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. It does everything you need it to, and is amazing for gaming in bed or while you’re not home. The screen is good, but would’ve preferred an 8 inch one or an oled. However, with that I’d still prefer this device over similar ones on the market. Amazing experience 10/10 everything. Also, I bought the 2tb storage version because I have LOTS of games. I would recommend paying the extra 100$ for it.

Amazing device. Well worth the price for what is basically a computer you could fit in your hoodie’s pocket! It being a literal pc brings the freedom of what a desktop pc offers, the sky is the limit when it comes to modifications to fit your needs. You buy a dock to use mouse and keyboard, or take it on the go with the amazing battery life this handheld provides. I am thoroughly impressed, and saying I am happy with my purchase would be the biggest understatement of my life!

I did a lot of seasonal work and love video games. I didnt want to sacrifice my love for games for my work and bought this. Dont regret it at all. Im able to play final fantasy 7, Forza 4 and 5, and God Of War, with decently high fps and graphics. Love that you have the option to plug a egpu to it to run games faster. The cherry on top is that its a capable computer as well. Great for studios since its quiet and fast. You can buy a dock for this thing to plug monitors into and having it pair with an egpu makes this amazing for someone who wants to get into PC gaming and is looking to expand their setup at a later date. If you got the cash, BUY IT!

This this is awesome. I can play steam, windows games, and stream my playstation remotely. Battery life is great.I took a 3 hour flight and made it through the whole flight without having to charge it. I have even docked it and played with a monitor, mouse and keyboard. It's perfect for travel and for home. Even in turbo mode (max power and graphics) it's still quiet. It's the best of both worlds home and on the road.

The ASUS ROG Ally X is a marvel a powerful portable machine I made a comparison with the MSI Claw and the two ASUS ROG ally and both came out superior to the MSI Claw both consoles offer power Bruta and if you want a switch style console capable of running heavy games at high quality I recommend the Asus Rog Ally X for 800 dollars or less on sale, also Laptops with the same components are worth a thousand dollars up so if you don't want to spend so much money to play the Asus ROG Ally X is a good option 10/10

[Employee of bestbuy] very happy with my rog ally x!!! i originally pruchased rhe leigion go, but quickly changad my mind and went with the ally x…for that extra touch of performance in ram and better battery life. although the LGO has that FPS mode which is very cool imo, my main focus was raw performance, which is exactly what rhe ally x brings:). Games such as cod mw3 with performance optimization settings ROGs command center, and low to medium graphics in game gives you a good 90-100 FPS.

I love being able to game on the go or at home on a monitor or tv. The rog ally x is the best thing I’ve discovered that allows portability in gaming. Its battery is also very good for gaming with AAA titles for 2 hours and with classics like Final Fantasy or any other 2d game, up to 8 and a half hours of gameplay, at least for my experience. It may not have an oled screen but it makes up for it with the VRR installed. I have been playing games more than I was able to.

Bought this instead of the steam deck and I have no regrets at all. Both are good and the Ally has far less restrictions on the games you can buy/play. The screen even though not OLED like the Steam deck is noticeably sharper and clear (the steam decks colors are more vivid for sure). The power of the ally really lets you get great FPS/graphics balance with some tinkering. If you got the money the ROG Ally X is a top choice, if you’re on a budget get the steam deck OLED it’ll do you just fine

I went looking for a laptop that was strong enough to play a few games and could do some basic word processing or utilize the Google product like Docs/Sheets. I didn't need a full fledged gaming laptop since I wasn't planning on playing any best duty AAA games. The low tier gaming laptops started at $1,200 and the Ally was $700 after a discount. For another $60, I was able to get a docking station, keyboard and mouse. It runs everything I want it to run and it can even run some heavier duty titles like Baulder's Gate 3 if it's plugged in. It's basically become my main entertainment device. The touch screen is really good. It has the Windows 11 interface if you don't want to use the ROG interface. I can put any software that runs on Windows on it (Steam, Xbox Game Pass, a PlayStation 5 streaming app. It has a large hard drive (this one was 1TB) so you can install games locally and don't have to worry about streaming over bad Wi-Fi. There's also a microSD card slot and they sell 1.5TB fast microSDs for less than $100 now. The buttons can be a little loud but it's not bad. I definitely recommend a screen protector and a case. The screen is very exposed and with the joy sticks it doesn't slide easily into a bag or backpack. I personally love it. Great deal for the price. I hope it lasts me several years. Note, my picture shows a screen protector and case which were not included)

I have been pleasantly surprised by the capability of Ally X. It has handled a range of games incredibly well and the battery life has been legitimately solid when in performance mode (which was my biggest beef with the OG Steam Deck). I use mine for Xbox Game Pass predominantly and it has worked very well. Indiana Jones in particular has been awesome on the Ally X. The hardware is solid and has held up to travel well. All in all, I highly recommend.

So I have a PS5, but I moved countries and couldn’t bring it with. I really itched to play some video games and my phone games weren’t cutting it. So I did a lot of research on gaming handhelds and compared this with the Legion Go, Steam deck (LCD and OLED), and just for fun, the switch. I liked the Legion Go’s big screen appeal and checked it out in store and the Rog ally. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the screen of the Rog ally is in person. Of course the legion go’s screen is bigger and it has the removable control sticks but at the point, I thought, I may as well just get a monitor with a mouse and keyboard. But still cool and the feature of removing one of the control sticks and using it as a mouse appealed to me but after thinking about it, it sounded a little gimmicky and I probably would actually never use it. But anyway, after getting the Rog ally X, I haven’t regretted my decision one bit. I could’ve easily returned it and gotten the legion Go but I see no need. I started playing my fav Indie games via steam like Kingdoms and Castles, Hollow Knight, Cocoon, Inside and I was blown away that it could achieve such graphic fidelity at native 1080p while being locked to 70+ frames. I expected this because they’re not GPU intensive games, so I downloaded Battlefield V, RDR2, Delta Force. Their frames were great, especially RDR2. From the in game benchmark I got an average of 60fps or more with the graphic settings set to medium-Ultra. So in essence, you will not regret buying this. I promise you will love it and maybe, if the price is too steep, wait till the price drops when ASUS releases Z2 chip in a new model.
