Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm new to PC handhelds so I have no reference to what's better or worst. I'm enjoying it for what it is, playing games on the go or in bed. It's really comfortable to hold and pretty much playall my smaller games navtively on it. Games like cyberpunk or call of duty I would just cloud stream them. Cloud streaming is getting really good, I can't the difference most of the time. I think the price is not great and I get it's a mini PC but most are buying this just for gaming. I think 400 to 450 should be the max price.

When we opened it and tried to set it up, it gave the option to select the language. We tried to select English multiple times, but the machine was stuck in French. I had bought the machine brand new and it seemed to be region locked. It was almost 3 weeks before we were able to even use it. I had to bring it back up to Best Buy and ask if other people were having this problem and they told me they were unaware of it. geek squad did end up fixing it for me for free however they said that they should have charged me which I think is crazy since I bought it brand new and it didn’t work correctly. Now that it is in English, it is working correctly. Obviously the storage isn’t as great as the black device but that is OK. It does the job.

Have had plenty of handhelds but this one is it! Better than steam deck, switch 1&2, and android emulator

Fun while it works. My biggest complaints are that you have to check in when you start up a game so that your saves sync. Game crashes and you’re on a plane? Too bad… also it locks you into the audio output when you start the game- headphones plugged in works on start but if you unplug and go back to the game while it’s still up no audio- vise versa if you start with speakers and then plug in headphones… no audio through headphones. Why am I talking about physical headphones you ask? Because Bluetooth is broken in it- it’s a known issue. Another known issue is that it will get crazy hot- like I burnt my hand hot on an airplane because the power button isn’t default set to sleep- another known issue that you have to go in and readjust. And the last straw as I’ve really been trying to make it work is that it crashes. I’m trying to play this on planes and when offline for brief moments of relaxation while traveling and don’t want to spend that time tinkering to get an expensive piece of tech to work…

I purchased for excellent price. Loads of fun and very well made. Has great graphics and can be hooked up to your TV. And also can use Xbox controller highly recommend. Thanks

Product is great like an xbox in my hand build quality is excellent multi tasking is great as well. The staff at the woodmoore town center was great made my purchase easy and fast.

I’ve been playing with it for a few days now and I’m extremely happy with the purchase. The one issue to a degree is that since it runs Windows, you are going to experience typical annoying things. I ran updates through the Xbox app, then through windows itself, MyAsus and Armoury Crate. Of course the MCU update in Armoury Crate didn’t want to install. Annoying but the unit works great otherwise. Maybe the next MCU update will decide to install.

This is wonderful. Yes intial set up and updates can take a bit but once you're up and running this is fantastic. Love it.

The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally is a comfortable, high-quality handheld with a sharp 1080p/120Hz screen and great ergonomics. It runs Windows, giving you access to Steam, Xbox PC games, and cloud gaming, but performance is mid-range for heavy AAA titles. A good choice for portable indie and casual gaming — less ideal if you want top-tier performance for modern big games.

with Gamepass, and access to Epic Games and Steam library, i can now play PC games conveniently from my desk at work, on my couch, or wherever. game changer for me, to finally play Spider-Man 2 without buying a PS5, and any of my other PC games, not bound to my computer. comfy for long play sessions, due to the built in xbox gamepad, this baby rocks! sure, the black version is more highly powered, but this one hit all my needs for a way more affordable price.

I previously bought and then returned the ROG Ally, not the Ally X, because it's interface with using just Windows as a starting point didn't work well for me. This Xbox ROG Ally is much more user friendly and seems more powerful and I've really enjoyed using it so far. It uses full screen Xbox or Steam apps which streamlines the user experience. I won't be returning this model.

I loved using this . I loved it so much I returned it and upgraded to the better model . This is great for on the go gaming if quality issues doesn’t bother you

I got this a couple of weeks and loved almost everything it had to offer. The xbox grips make gaming really comfortable. The sound quality was really good. The picture quality was good for not being an oled screen. Having the ability to use steam, xbox, gog or epic launcher for games is really nice. You can also stream games from steam similarly to the Playstation portable. One thing id say is the power leaves a lot to be desired. It ran mass effect legendary collection good, halo master cheif collection good and left 4 dead 2 with mods really well. When it came to spider man 2 and battlefield 6, it was a rough experience with low ghraphical settings and turbo settings on. Tired to get college football 14 revamped working on a ps3 emulator and was getting 1-14 fps. Didnt matter if the revamped mod was installed or not, if it was on turbo settings or tweaked settings in the emulator itself. Id say either stick with the Rog Ally A1E or pony up for the ROG ally xbox x. I guess id say you would have to ask yourself if you wanna try AAA games on it or stick to more of older titles.

Runs my windows games easily without requiring extra setup or workarounds. Great battery life. The new windows handheld mode has worked seamlessly so desktop is not necessary. Exceeded my expectations!

Things great. My 3 year old loves snuggling next to me to watch me play the littler games i dont need a pc to run. Only issue ive seen is windows software related. And ive found a way to make the issue a non factor. But it can get fixed with updates. Cant put in password when logging into windows.

So in love with Rog Ally X! Convenient and battery life is great. Now i wished i got the 1TB instead of the 500gb

Great budget device for handheld gaming. Originally it was 500 when I looked at it, but it jumped to 600 so I bought an open box for 530. Works great everything was there and no damage. Can struggle on certain games like No Man's Sky, but overall a capable device.

I just purchased this product and I'm so happy and satisfied with it. The graphics and the fact that it's so easily convenient is amazing. I would definitely recommend this product hands down. I highly recommend Xbox ally x just because it's so easily accessible.

I really liked it but it was not ready for prime time. It was comfrotable , astectically pleasing and not that difficult to set up ( although it was a lengthy process ). Also I feel like it was 150-$200 too expensive for what it delivered in performance . Returned it but plan on buy the Ally X version.

A real mini PC that can play games on Steam, GamePass, and Playstation Plus. It works really well, graphics look great also. I'm glad I finally made the purchase. I didn't know what I was missing.
