Fantastic handheld console/computer. I take my ROG ALLY X, just about everywhere I go and I also use it as my main side PC. I recently installed bizziate Linux on it and it’s even better. I definitely recommend getting your hands on one.

The device has some drawbacks: some of the old games cannot be played. Im impressed that it can run call of duty and games like diablo4. It is not as user friendly as you would like. Some setting tinkering is required depending on the game . I love how you have full pc operation. You can hook up a mouse, keyboard and monitor to the ally x to have a mini pc on the go. For what it is, it worth the cost.

Love this thing! Awesome handheld gaming experience. Fast, crisp graphics. At this point couldn’t be happier. Won’t sell my Xbox but this is a great addition to the gaming devices I own.

Rog ally x is actually a really interesting and amazing handheld PC device. It’s excellent for gaming I’m able to run GTA five Call of Duty® cyberpunk 2K any game you can think of without any issue while on the go, I’ve tested and used it myself multiple times while playing GTA or Call of Duty® from my iPhone hotspot and I’ve never had any issues with lag or glitching or anything it’s also good for being able to use as a main PC if you get an extended monitor and a ROG ally docking station and keyboard and. Mouse connect them together overall I would recommend this if you are looking for a PC only go and or are looking to play PC games while I only go whether it’s traveling on a plane or you know you are on a road trip or do you just wanna leave your house and you obviously can’t take your PC with you. You can take you’re rog ally with you overall after using it and even taking it to Japan with me and being able to get on the plane, I would definitely recommend this and I would give it a 10 out of 10

I’ve been looking at a handheld for many months and I love this product. It gives me exactly what I need from steam deck to EA games, etc. I only use it as a gaming system, but I been told if you can use it as a computer as well too. My only gripe about it is I don’t have a keyboard so using a controller for docking purposes can be a little troublesome, but I figured that out it was perfectly fine

I was considering a mini gaming laptop but they're very pricey for the specs you need these days. I then considered the Asus ROG Ally or a Steam Deck and the bottom line was I could play more games on the ROG Ally and install non-gaming apps because it runs on Microsoft Windows. The ROG Ally is a bit on the heavy side for long periods of gaming. It doesn't have a built-in kickstand so I suggest getting one and then pairing your favorite controller. The controllers aren't that good for normal navigating on the Windows screen. The touch screen is very responsive but so small that finger navigating isn't as smooth as I'd like. It's like buying a mini gaming laptop without the higher price so well worth buying, IMO.

Should have bought this instead of a gaming laptop. Yes this has performance limitations but the portability and compatibility with most if not all games is a worthy trade off. I love my ally X!

This is my first hand held pc and I muat say I'm blown away by the battery! The battery last long and the device stays cool during my game time. It may not be for everyone because the screen size is smaller than the Legion Go but its still amazing.

Still though I don't play all the time I do find the time alot easier too play this then a regular console. It runs GTA v online well enough too be playable. It runs the latest COD online that's very playable. It runs the latest forza. The graphics on these games are not as good as obviously a real console or PC but on such a small screen it does not bother me a bit

The ASUS ROG Ally X is what the Ally Z1 Extreme should have been. Owning the Ally Z1 Extreme I felt the 16GB of total RAM was way too small for what most current games need, specially when it's being shared between system RAM and Video RAM. It was a delicate balance of setting the right amount between the two and dropping down settings in games so that they play as best as possible. Comparing the Ally X to the Z1 Extreme it's a significant upgrade. I have been comparing the same games on both systems and graphics settings can be bumped up on the Ally X. I have experienced better perfomance with games as well, even emulation runs way better on the Ally X. Many say that the X is not worth the upgrade, but having both and running the same applications and games, I totally saw the performance increase. If you're struggling to decide between the Z1 Extreme or the X, I would say the X hands down if you want the best perfomance.

Runs all the games i want and has a better battery life than the older model. If you have the xtra cash I would recommend this

Works amazing, looks great, battery life is awesome. And I bought a dock so I can hook it up to my TV too. 10/10

So far I have only played Hogwarts Legacy on the Ally X. I am also not super crazy technical where I am gunna open it up and re-solder the parts to make it better. (I may add an additional SSD later). Just from base use, it works very well for what I was expecting. I get about 3 hours of playing Hogwarts Legact from full charge to dead. Something to know is that it will not charge with anything less than a 60w charging block. Turbo requires 100w or more (the charge it comes with is 60w, so you will not be able to turbo charge it with the charger in the box). I did have to knock off a star because of Windows 11. The amount of updates and random stuff you have to go through just to set this thing up is ridiculous. Why cant it come fully updated? It literally took a good 8 hours just to get to the point where I could download a game. Beyond that. This works amazing for a handheld PC. It does get warm, but not uncomfortablely so. One major thing I wish they thought of was having the buttons light up. I play in the dark quite often and trying to see which button is which is very difficult, especially when trying to learn the mechanics of a new game. Im surprised this wasn't a base feature, since most controller buttons light up. I have only had it about 2 weeks, but as of right now, I would recommend it.

Its amazing for using it on the go and very powerful although it can run almost every game, it will not last on battery power for a long time and definitely still has its glitches and bugs due to it being somewhat new. Its nice if you travel frequently and have time to use it, but I found to have used it for a week then didn't pick it up so I ended up returning it.

Great Handheld PC. Battery life is great. Hopefully this gives the competitions initiative to bring out more devices with even better performance and battery life. As a Husband, and Father, this has made my love for gaming even more accessible. Anywhere, Anytime.

My favorite device I have. I travel for work and have school. I have my home computer sync to this and can work on assignments either on the device, on a tv or another portable monitor. Once I'm done I game on it. Don't forget a docking station. That makes it well worth the price.

Have both this and the legion go. Performance wise the ally x is better. I had the legion first but when it comes to portability I’ll get the ally over the legion go

Excellent overall, major improvement from previous Ally including double capacity battery life, 1tb ssd, 24mb memory and ergonomics design. This is much faster and fan cools down the unit very efficiently. Highly recommended for its size and worth the upgrade.

I want to start by saying, I’m a huge gamer. I’ve owned just about every console. From the switch, PlayStation and even Xbox. Recently I’ve been getting into PC gaming, and that definitely changed everything. I’ve held off buying a PC handheld, until I saw the ROG Ally X. It offered me almost everything I was looking for. And, from the first day I bought it, I’ve used it everyday; and this thing is probably one of the best gaming consoles I’ve purchased in a longgg time. I upgraded it to 4TB, and can play just about everything. And games I can’t play, I can stream from my PC. The battery lasts a decent amount of time, the screen is crisp and clear. I’m definitely a huge fan of handheld gaming due to being able to play at work without bringing my beefy gaming laptop. It’s so comfortable to hold, and it’s quiet. I never hear it; unlike my gaming laptop. I’m very happy with my purchase.

I have used both the regular ASUS ROG, and now the X. The difference is MASSIVE. The X is significantly faster and smoother. Everything about it is better. More storage, more speed, and less headaches.
