I love my ROG Xbox Ally I bought it to play fivem gta roleplay omg it works perfectly better then I expected. And not to mention you can play all the game you can think of handheld. One of the best gaming consoles yet

I know it's big brother the ally x has the better internals but for the money I don't think it's twice as good as the this base model. Especially if you can get on one of the sales this at 500 bucks is a killer deal. Performance is very dependant on settings. If you run 720p and modest settings you can get a very playable fps but if you're dead set on running full 1080p on aaa games you'll probably want the x. The xbox launcher is nice for windows games especially more hardware heavy games as you dont have to run windows in the background. Also love that it basically includes short cuts to the steam full screen and other launchers to really open up your game library.

I've had it for bout like half a month and it's amazing works good for games sometimes gotta use CPU boost but don't mind if plugged in it's truly great only problem is the storage but that's upgradeable

Let’s be clear here. The ASUS ROG XBOX ALLY is not a gaming handheld. It is a handheld gaming PC that runs windows 11 64bit PERFECTLY. graphics? Smooth like butter! I connected it to my work dock and it ran 3 monitors (not for gaming but for work) I’m very happy with the onboard steam/xbox/windows interface. Push a button, make a selection. Game. Work or steam (game). Did I mention the ssd built in might be its only flaw? It’s 512gb. No worries…there are instructions on the website on how to put a new ssd in. Just out with the first, and drop in the new one up to 4tb. Not kidding. Keep your power cord handy as it is greedy, but what would you expect from a full on gaming pc with a battery that fits in the case. This is a great gizmo and we absolutely love it. 10/10 highly recommend

Best purchase, I loved it so much I bought the Ally X. I take this one to work and I plan on using the X at home. It definitely requires some messing around in the Armory Create settings to make some AAA games run around 40fps but it won’t disappoint you, I promise. Battery is a cool 2-2:30 hours not plugged running on 15w. Plugged in with 20w it’s getting up to 50fps on these AAA games like Starfield and State of Decay 2 with optimizations done in the AC settings and game settings.

Excited to experience mobile gaming with an Xbox product with the new ROG Xbox Ally. For the first time, I can take my Xbox experience on the go without settling for watered-down performance or awkward touch screen controls. The ergonomic control feels familiar, the grip, button layout, and overall feel of the device closely mirror an Xbox controller, which makes transitioning into mobile play incredibly natural. One of the biggest additions is its ability to run Windows 11. As someone who’s never been deeply immersed in the PC gaming world, this opens up a whole new doorway. Now, I can explore PC libraries, emulators, mods, and even productivity apps. The flexibility is honestly exciting and something I didn’t expect to appreciate this much. Cloud gaming is also a nice feature, especially since it helps save space on the device. Being able to stream games instead of installing them makes the device feel even more versatile. That said, latency can creep in depending on the connection, so it's not perfect for every situation or every game. I will mention that not everything is completely intuitive. Some of the extra buttons like the Command Center button, View button, and Library button can take a bit of getting used to. They don’t feel as immediately functional or natural as the standard control layout, so there’s a small learning curve. Additionally, troubleshooting and adjusting things through BIOS can feel intimidating at first, but are useful once you learn your way around it. There are also many ways to customize views, buttons, and default settings that are great but challenging. Overall, the ROG Xbox Ally is a game-changer for someone like me who’s rooted in the Xbox ecosystem but eager to explore what mobile and PC gaming have to offer. It’s powerful, flexible, and fun, exactly what I hoped a handheld Xbox experience would feel like.

I purchased the Rog Xbox Ally as I have been traveling more wanted to have something to help with my downtime. Overall I have enjoyed using this device with Xbox Ultimate subscription. There is a learning curve with the UI which took me a few hours to get better at navigating. Overall have enjoyed this for gaming watching videos on the go!

Asus and Xbox did a wonderful job Its an awesome xbox/pc handheld console

I’m very satisfied with this product. After using it for a while, everything works smoothly and reliably for my daily needs. The design looks modern, clean, and feels more premium than I expected for the price. Performance is solid for everyday tasks like entertainment, light work, and even some gaming. It runs smoothly with minimal lag, and the temperature stays under control even during longer sessions. What I like most is the balance between price and performance — it offers great value. The overall experience (display, sound, and build quality) is also very good. There are a few minor things that could be improved, but nothing that really affects the overall experience. Overall, I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for something reliable in this price range. I would consider buying it again or recommending it to friends.

It has good ergonomics for my hands. It's not uncomfortably heavy or bulky. I used it on a overseas flight and it performed well. No issues running games although I run mostly indie stuff like Slay the Spire and Vampire Surviors. The only thing I don't like is that I keep getting an error for the embedded controller but it works fine. Not sure why it tells me that. I do like how it supports multiple platforms. I have just Xbox and Steam installed. I recommend running Steam in Big Picture as it's easier to navigate. Windows 11 is solid on it as well as the touch controls are pretty responsive.

Definitely far better than I thought it was going to be! It runs very smooth and the storage capacity is high enough for me to download the majority of the games that I planned on downloading anyways, I got a microSD card though and it was a seamless transition to download and use it. I have to say that with 100% certainty for the price of this device I would buy an additional one just as a backup just because the performance depressed ratio is more than balanced

I have a Steam Deck Oled and Legion Go and have been wanting to add a Rog Ally to my collection. The ergonomics is what sold me on the Rog Xbox Ally. Performance wise it is on par with the Steam Deck Oled. I highly recommend. If you are looking for the highest Fps at higher resolutions on AAA titles, go for the X version. If you're ok with 720p gaming with good Fps and good battery life, go for the base Rog Xbox Ally (white one).

im on the move a lot it makes road trips a breeze especially if you play games it makes travel easier

I love my device I can play almost everything their maybe a few games that you can’t play but other than that it’s such an amazing device don’t have to carry around a giant laptop anymore I can just take this with me

In my opinion it the best hand held device that runs windows and can run triple a games. I wold recommend this device to anyone that want to play good quality games on the go.

Great device. Plays most of the games I play with some exceptions. Whatever it struggles to play, streaming it makes up for it. Obviously if you can spare the extra $500-600 for X do it but overall a great budget handheld.

People who compare this to a certain deck on the market should just go buy one or let it go. They're not the same. If you want to play a few games on the go or just a great quality pc experience then buy it. You won't be mad. Its great for emulation, has an sd card slot, AMAZING speakers, feels just like an xbox controller with a screen, variable refresh rate and more. The battery is the only thing that you could complain about as i get about 4-5 hours with lighter games and about 3-4 with triple a wo keep your charger with you, change settings and or a portable charger.

This is my favorite electronic I've purchased in years!!! I had the first version, then i upgraded to this one ! The features are soo much better better space and the games look better in every aspect. The battery life is awesome and it takes up all my time!

It is a product that must be given hours of research to configure it for the best performance, without a doubt it is one of the best I have tried and I go for the Xbox rog ally x, to improve the performance of my games.

I had a software issue with my original purchase, and I was able to get it quickly exchanged with a working model. I couldn’t be happier with what I got for the price I paid. I currently utilize it as a gaming handheld, a remote workstation, and a lower mid tier gaming rig all in one.
