Customer Ratings & Reviews

A little heavy for a handheld device. Thats the only thing negative. Awesome device and I would recommend to anyone who's a serious gamer.

One of the most amazing hand held devices I’ve ever owned. For the price you pay, it’s honestly the bang for your bucks deal. This is one beefy hand held.

Coming from a Z1E ally this is a huge upgrade. Still a windows PC at heart, so not fully seamless but a lot closer, and tons of horsepower to run whatever games I want, even docked to the TV. Immediately upgraded to a 2TB since games are so large these days.

Out the box it runs amazing. I upgraded from a steam deck and very happy with my purchase. It is so smooth and when using a controller has no visible button lag so far. Definitely a good buy. I have yet to use window mode, i just didnt buy this for that.

I waited a month before reviewing because I like to take my time with a product when giving my opinion. The battery life is superb, but what sold me at first glance were the ergonomics. It’s truly the most comfortable handheld I’ve ever used. I am enjoying it very much and looking forward to future updates on this device. It’s a solid 10/10 for me.

What a solid handheld. Although pricey this thing is a beast and a nice convenient entry into PC gaming for gamers who primarily game on a console. Quality build and controls feel great on it. Oh and access to other storefronts unlike a Steam Deck. Think about expanding the hard rive if you get it cause you will go through it fast.

This device is nearly perfect. Excellent ergonomics, light, quiet fans, solid performance. If I had to give any complaints, aside from the price, it'd be that a 7 inch screen is just too small even if the device itself if comfortable.

Just what i was looking for something portable and able to play anything I throw at it. Just give it a try!

First it doesn't come with GamePass PC, it comes with GamePass premium, which is a downgrade from PC GamePass. Some games run great others not so great. I do love the handheld but i spend most of the time in the steam app. The xbox app's games are expensive and with the price increase to GamePass the best deal in gaming has become the worst deal in gaming. It is impressive though running games like ARC Raiders at 60 FPS, or Outer Worlds 2 getting over 30 FPS on quality FSR with medium and low settings. The controller is not an Xbox controller, it's a generic X-input controller. The only thing that makes this an Xbox is the guide button. This system is a windows 11 PC with some Xbox features. The SSD they included is a little slow, I'm planning to replace it in the future but right now it will do. Don't let the 3 stats fool you im just picky. The system is definitely worth the price, just with a few cevats.

This thing is awesome I use it mostly for gaming but I’ve watched a movie some YouTube also done some discord work

Not worth to upgrade if you have Asus ROG Ally X. My wife took over my Ally X and this came out just in time. Runs great. Extremely comfortable. Wish included a case like steam deck. But I highly recommend it to anyone.

I absolutely love this handheld. I have all different handholds, and this is the best one. I like it more than the steam deck. It is literally the fastest very easy to use I totally recommend recommended this handheld. You can add way more icons to launch a lot more different apps and everything else. Those are just the ones I have in the pictures, but there’s PlayStation on there and everything else too.

Love this thing. I got a gaming desktop but i find myself on this way more. Its so convenient to play, and very powerful. Bestbuy was able to secure the best deal possibly for me. 10/10. Recommend to anyone looking for portability. Especially if you have small children. You can play this bad boy anywhere and not be isolated to ypur gaming station

From sitting on the couch, to laying in bed, to a 4 1/2 hour plane ride. This device has been awesome! I have a on 17W power i was able to squeeze well over 2-3 hours of battery life on my recent flight! Granted that was with a few breaks here and there. I find myself playing more on it than I do on my PC setup. Its so much easier to grab and then kick back. If youre on the fence, just buy it!

Purchased “Open Box - Excellent” unit. Had a blueish hue in the screen (only visible when screen had shown darker colored background). Returned unit due to the blemish. But with that issue aside, the device is super comfortable when gaming. It was my first pc handheld purchase and I plan on buying it again; brand new.

Was bought as a gift! Absolutely love it! It was easy to set up, with many, many games downloaded it’s never slowed down or froze. It’s quiet and lightweight! You can customize it from the colors to how the screen looks!

This is what i was hoping it would be. I am anle to play all the games i want and the battery life has been great. A solid handheld for the casual gamer for sure

First off let's get this out of the way for those that are wondering: THIS IS NOT AN XBOX! This is a Windows Handled PC like the previous Ally models, with Xbox branding. If you are going out to buy a brand new Handheld and you only have the current generations available to you, I would say this is the best one on the market for Price/Performance. Which is both great and a Problem. At $999+tax, it should at the very LEAST come with an OLED screen, and have it be bigger. The 7" non OLED screen 3 gens in a row The build quality also feels a little cheapish even compared to the original Z1 Extreme Model. Due to the hollow nature of the grips, the face buttons sound exceptionally louder than on the previous gen and as of writing this, I have yet to find a mod that dampens the sound as well. It is however incredibly comfortable to hold. - If you want the best current gen Bang For your Buck form a mainstream brand: Get this 100% - If you want the best of the best in handhelds and don't mind the $400-$500 difference, get the Leonovo Legion Go 2. - If you can afford a little bit more, give the MSI Claw 8 AI+ a short. Intel seems to be doing something good with it's drivers, i've heard good things - If money is tight, find an Open Box ROG Ally X instead.

I love the Ally X. Its a great handheld pc. I got mine on release and unfortunately that one was faulty but i was able to order a new one to replace it. Ive had zero issues with the one i have now and it plays all my games in my steam library.

The Xbox Ally X is a very powerful handheld. Games run smoothly thanks to the strong processor, 24GB of RAM, and fast 1TB SSD. The 120Hz screen looks sharp, and having full Windows support means you can use Game Pass, Steam, and other PC launchers with no restrictions. Pros: • Excellent performance for a handheld • Smooth 120Hz display with VRR • Comfortable Xbox-style controls • Full Windows PC freedom Cons: • Very expensive • LCD screen (not OLED) • Windows setup can feel clunky on a handheld Overall, it’s an amazing device if you want top-tier portable PC gaming, but the price and Windows experience may not be for everyone.
