Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the original Ally and currently have the steam deck oled. My review after a few days: The battery life is so good and worth the upgrade for me. Gamepass games are easy to install and play. More powerful than my steam deck. I will be selling the steam deck.

this thing runs any game i throw at it at 60+ fps. definitely recommend for on the go gaming for couch bingeing your favorite game. i loved it so much i bought my friend one so we could play together.

After months of having the Rog Ally X, I have some points about it. I like it very much, the Rog Ally will work for video games but also other applications like Microsoft 365 and jobs. While it may look like a gaming pc, it can most certainly be used for work. Also, you can connect the Rog Ally to a monitor for a bigger screen and use the components of the Rog Ally like an actual computer and not use the controller parts. I believe that it was worth it saving up money to get the Rog Ally X.

This system has been so much fun. It is in great shape, works perfectly. It has run every game and program that has been downloaded to it. IT has a great picture. Never has a lag. I love it

I wanted something more portable than a laptop. This does the job fine. Full windows capability. Only 2 ports, but is enough for me. So far, it's great, except I need more storage. Easy enough to upgrade storage.

Coming from console , this is an excellent device for gaming, streaming or just surfing the web. If you don't mind windows this is a great device. I've had for about a year and love it more than my ps5. The access to a vast amount of PC games makes this device worth it. The ally x is sturdy( i dropped it on concrete no case screen still mint but the bottom corner tooks a beating and chipped. Highly recommend getting a case and you'll be fine , i dropped it countless times after and still holding strong. I bought this last black Friday for a great deal. I have yet to run into a game i couldn't play on this. Pros: Gaming anywhere with nice fps nice feel battery life Game catalog easy to open and upgrade parts Cons: The plastic sides can chip if dropped Windows(if u dont like the os) Setting up to your liking takes a little time Asus support Screen is connected to front cover

So far it works fine. I went in with low expectations. I feel that the battery runs out fast depending on which games you play, still I was surprised about being able to play most of the games I have. It takes a little time to get used to the small screen, but portability is great.

First, Rog Ally X has offered a great upgrade to its original Ally. It feels as if the company listened to the feedback just enough to scrape by to what the final product should’ve been the first time. The only issue I have with the Ally is the time to set up and the bloatware from Windows 11. Unless you are planning on using Microsoft Office on this, a lot of stuff can be deleted. Setup was a little over 2 hours plus an extra 2 hours cause I’m just a little much. As for Best Buy, I feel like I am an Alzheimer’s patient with severe sunsetting every time I preorder. For a new PS5, took three weeks to deliver. Preordered an Xbox X for launch date - 1 week to deliver the PREORDER. As for the Rog Ally X… I preordered this months before it came out. The street date was Monday 7/22. They didn’t even ship it til the 24th despite the order saying “will be received by end of day” on Monday. When I called customer service, I got some guy named Ken, who was definitely NOT named Ken, telling me “I know you are just excited to see your new gadget”. Bro, yes, but don’t patronize me and don’t lie. Again, Best Buy doesn’t deliver which is why they are shutting stores across the US. You cannot depend on them. TL;DR - get the Ally X. Never preorder from Best Buy.

My experience with the ally x has been nothing short of amazing. it runs games well and is very easy to use and navigate. i definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable gaming platform

Highly recommend this if you want to enjoy more games that are currently in your backlog. This handheld is perfect for a lot of games that tend to get put aside. I usually enjoy higher demand games and 1st party blockbuster titles. With this handheld I enjoy time on the couch, stay closer to the family and find new favorite games I never would have pulled up on my pc or PlayStation or Xbox etc

Really lovely machine with a nice weight to it. I love that it is so essy to expand with a dock and dedicated port for charging. I also love how quick the setup is even though it can be a little jank for the windows starting but honestly handles like a beast. Been grinding the new cod and it feels nice

If you are well off enough to afford an $800 handheld PC, a 4TB 2280 NVMe drive to upgrade, and another $100 in a DBrand Killswitch and glass protector then yeah. This is an absolutely fantastic device that is incredible to play on and I love it so much more than I thought I would. I play gamepass games as well as steam primarily. I wanted newer more powerful hardware than the steam deck had because I prefer triple A titles. Is this worth the difference over the steam deck? If you also play resource heavy games and want a ton of local storage then it is totally worth it. If you just want to play your steam game collection on the go and don't mind dialing down the settings then get the Steam Deck. They both excel at what they are meant to be.

Coming from only playing on PC and never owning a console personally, I will say this is the most fun I ever had gaming. I mostly play single player games and occasionally hop on to multiplayer games. The setup process is a little clunky to get used to. But, once you get used to using armory crate it is a very enjoyable process. This is now replacing my main gaming system of i9-9700k and a rtx 3060. In plugged in mode it is very comparable to my old setup while taking up 1/10th the space.

This thing is a game changer for someone like me. I purchased this when I was assigned to an estate security detail and had to stay in my vehicle for 12hr shifts. Very difficult to keep your mind occupied working like that. So I bought this to have a way to play stuff I already owned while dipping my toes into the handheld PC world. This thing IMO paid for itself the first day I had it. I still use it every single week for 12-24hrs. The battery has consistently charged and last between 2-6hrs depending on what you’re playing and how bright, loud, etc. This device really lets you tone tune your gaming experience, as a 35yr old lifelong console gamer I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of it especially considering its compact size. I could go on and on about how much I love this thing but so far the tech support and smooth playability of this beast is 100% worth the price tag. Highly highly recommend if you’re on the fence about it. Buy once cry once and get the 1TB. You’ll be glad you did.

I love this handheld! It is a beast and can play most any game you throw at it. The versatility is amazing. I think battery life on all of the handhelds are mediocre but this can get you a good 2 hrs on max settings with most AAA games. If you are playing with lower settings you can get more from it. I am happy with the purchase and see myself using it for many years to come.

I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. It is a massive step up form the Steam deck. We have that device and it can't play anything very well and has terrible screen. This has a fantastic screen and plays everything, it is wonderful.

Fantastic performance at a decent price. Included software package is very intuitive and streamlines the process for those who want to get started right out of the box, while also providing a lot of functionality for those who want to delve deeper into the devices capabilities

Great handheld runs games great I've been playing the batman arkham series and they all run great. As well as dragonball sparking zero, far cry blood dragon, spiderman 1 and miles morales, resident evil 2 remake, and more. My only issues are with windows 11. But if you are used to gaming in windows there's nothing new that will hamper your experience Cyberpunk is playable but could be better. Cant wait for steam os to be available because that will take the rog ally x from great to amazing. I love the look of the handheld. It feels great on my big hands and i really like the color of the buttons. One minor issue is that when gaming sometimes my fingers accidentally touch the screen causing miss imputs. I hope they add a touch screen toggle to armoury crate(devise quick settings/steam os alternative) Armoury crate can be slow at times and depending on the game you might have to minimize it to use it.

I have a gaming PC, but after sitting at a desk and working on a computer all day, sometimes I'd rather chill on the couch or in bed to game. I had been eyeing the original Ally since it was first released, but I decided I didn't need it since I have a Steam Deck. Well ever since the release of 7DTD with no option of cross-play, my wife has officially stolen it. On a whim, I decided to pick this up and maaaan have I been blown away by its performance. It has a downright stunning display that matches my gaming monitor. I haven't had to tweak anything, and I've experienced zero lag thus far. I am thrilled with this sucker and while I can't compare it to the OG, I'm extremely happy with this upgrade despite the higher price tag. Don't think, just buy lol.

I originally had the steamdeck and it was fun and easy to use. But i couldnt play my more beefy games. When i got this it was a game changer. Play any game i had in any library. If you have any familiarity with using a windows computer this should be no problem at all. Plus i can play stuff like starfield in the car or at work!!
