Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome device. great for avid gamers who travel. price tag is scary, but totally worth it. find myself laying in bed playing the ally instead of my gaming PC.

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.

I feel like this is a pretty niche piece of tech, that isn't made for most gamers. For me, it fit perfectly! I travel a fair bit and hate having to lug around a big gaming laptop. However, I also like to do work. You might think that this doesn't seem like it would be great for productivity, and you'd be right. However, I paired it with a dock, keyboard, mouse, and a portable monitor. Now I have the choice to pack a small gaming device for short trips or a whole desktop setup for longer trips. Not for everyone, but great for me and my weird applications. Side Note: It performs really well for the price

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!

TLDR; Minus one star for ergonomics and not having at least one trackpad, otherwise fantastic! Upgraded from a Steam Deck lcd. While I prefer the ergonomics and button layout with trackpads that the Steam Deck has, the hardware in the RoG ally x is just so much better. I immediately replaced the windows os with Bazzite OS and it feels just like a Steam Deck with more horsepower and a better screen and resolution. Obviously there are higher end handhelds one on the market but as far as what you are paying for I think the value is pretty good on the RoG ally X. I highly recommend this if you don’t want to spend $1000+ for something more bleeding edge. If you have the patience, there will be a SteamOS version sometime in the next few months or you could just install Bazzite if you don’t want to deal with how bad windows is on handheld devices.

If you're a gamer this is the best of Console & PC gaming, if you just need a PC thats smaller than a laptop but bigger than a phone this is it, play Xbox, Playstation, & PC games all in the same place with the benefits of portability as well as the abilities to have full computer access & functions

While release day was… something, that was mostly on Best Buy I suspect, so I will let this review focus on the device. So far the it’s been a dream, the armory crate has great QOL features, and so far the Ally X has handled everything I’ve thrown at it, really quietly for that matter. My only minor complaint is that the device could be more ergonomic, it can get somewhat uncomfortable with longer gaming sessions.

Extremely fun i cant complain about it the only bad aide its its kinda heavy

While the Ally X is not quite worth an upgrade from a normal Ally, it is 100% worth it if you’re coming in fresh. This device is a gaming beast and can handle AAA games easily with 30+ FPS. Battery life is also a huge improvement over the normal Ally.

I was using the steamdeck for around 2 years and loved it. Only thing I didn't like was not being able to easily install certain games (STALKER GAMMA AND SP TARKOV). I upgraded to the Ally X and its simply just a handheld Windows gaming machine. It has no problem running the above games, as well as other high-end games. Hooking it up to a dock pretty much just makes it a desktop at that point. I have Ableton installed, and it runs well. Battery life is OK depending on graphics settings and resolution, so be aware. Other than that, it's a solid 9/10 for me.

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.

The Battery life is the biggest plus for me, Z1 Extreme chip means that i get an incredible gaming experience on most AAA titles with very few graphical adjustments. Pair this with a Jsaux Case and you’ve got an incredibly confortable console.

I’ve owned it for over a year and a half, and I highly recommend it. After buying it, I upgraded the SSD to 4TB, which gave me plenty of space for all my games and emulators. The performance is excellent, and it has been an amazing portable gaming device for everyday use.

A handheld device on steroid with the battery life is outstanding, the OLED screen would it be nice but with the standard screen is good enough for me, the showstopper is the battery and the fact that the sd card slot does not burn out is awesome.

I got it some months ago, first at all I didn’t idea to buy a rog ally but I just checked it in the store I played few minutes and I said I need it! That offer an incredible portable gaming experience! In my case I got an opened box of that and when I opened it at my home one of the buttons didn’t work so I just returned it… But now I’m still waiting for the new model is coming this year!!

Solid unit all around. Great for gamiing on the go, strong battery life. No complaints, very satisfied with the purchase.

I picked up an "open-box" model (with missing AC adapter). The overall cosmetic of the unit is very good. So far I found no issues with the hardware. It works real well right out from the box. It's definitely FASTER than its predecessor, the speaker is awesome. I installed the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered - and it works flawless. Of course, you needed also installed the necessary components for Windows 11 to load up the game properly (what do you expected - it's a Windows's base Operation System). I really like it personally.

Super convenient. Storage could be slightly better but overall very nice.

No regrets, no complaints. This console is fantastic. I was playing World of Warcraft and Roblox without any lag, everything was smooth, and I even managed to do some work. Unfortunately, my wife broke my device due to personal reasons. I’m still trying to figure out how it happened. I highly recommend this product. If I had the extra money, I would definitely buy another one.

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.
