ASUS ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld 7" 120Hz Touch, Ryzen Z2 A, 16GB / 4TB

I feel compelled to write a review of this as a gaming enthusiast. Firstly, Asus has done a wonderful job with this. The Armoury Crate software makes life infinitely easier for a Windows handheld. This device allows you to have the simplicity of a Steam Deck with the simplicity of all of the backend stuff you can do with Windows. Who is this for? If you want a purely plug and play experience with no tinkering whatsoever, I'd probably recommend the Steam Deck. If you want to be able to have full control over your system and not have to deal with Linux and the quirks that come with it and have better performance than the Steam Deck, this should be your pick. Pros: Armoury Crate software gives it a more console like experience similar to SteamOS, better performance, Windows 11 simplicity of use, better screen, in my personal opinion better controls, higher quality materials used in construction, RGB if that's your thing, wonderful buttons and sticks, very lightweight and not quite as bulky as the Steam Deck. Cons: Lesser battery life (you can upgrade this though), some upfront Windows tinkering if you want the most performance, wish it came in black as well (looking at you ROG Ally X).

Love it

This is the coolest mini pc I have ever used. I have like 5 gaming pcs, including multiple 4080s, 4070, etc...and I spend more time on this thing now than any of them LOL. It's just so FUN, I dont know how to explain it. Works great on a plane. I didn't realize just how many games are really optimized for this kind of form factor and control. I've been such a pc maniac. I literally played Dragon Age 100% on this device to the end and I was bored playing it on my 4080 pc with a 42 inch oled screen. I guess bigger is not better, and sometimes form factor really makes a game, strangely. My only negative is the battery doesn't last very long, but you heard that already from other reviews. I mostly play plugged in, even on planes, with no issue.

It seems to be great have not gotten everything set up yet

Was playing modded black ops 3 zombies at full 1080p at the same speeds as the series x and at 80% resolution I got 120 fps , absolutely cooked no reason it should run this well but it does

If your expecting quality graphics and low lag even with lower setting dont get this. Im sure you would be just impressed with a nintendo switch minus the available games. It doesn't even run simple games at a decent quality. Grant it im coming from pc and ps5 so maybe im expecting a little much but for a cost higher than the big name consoles it just doesn't perform the way it should. Returning the day after I got it.

Still working with it to figure out things I know its bulkier than some but has some great functionality like the logitech g cloud and weighs quite a bit more than the nintendo switch console light and oled not sure on switch 2. Anxious to see how it compares to the asus rog ally x and playstation portal and it is lighter than a laptop not sure maybe the same.

I really love everything about this unit except for the battery lasting maybe 1.5 hours, I have spent about $120 on two external batteries so I can play longer. Also, the unit gets extremely hot, primarily when running in turbo mode. If I was to do it again, I would buy a regular laptop. I am stuck for 2 years.

Me la acabo de comprar y llego sellada sin abrir 10/10 y en mi uso si sirve tanto como para juegos AAA como Battlefield 6 y juegos VR y si piensan que es un comentario bot puedes comprobarlo en mi Canal de Youtube como Fralast Dia que recibi el producto 6 de diciembre 2025 y llego super rapido

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO LLEGA EN PERFECTAS CONDICIONES Y EXCELENTE COMPRA.

Llegó con la caja abierta y la consola usada y sucia, a pesar de que cuando la ordené decía que el producto era nuevo, tiene señales de uso como rayones, suciedad y además llegó defectuosa, cuando la enciendes no accede a el sistema operativo solamente se queda en la bios, además dice que no reconoce la memoria de almacenamiento, también parece que le quitaron los sellos de la marca y le pusieron otros.

Excelente y potente aunque con juegos exigentes se drena la batería muy rapido

¡Totalmente recomendable! me llegó en excelentes condiciones, todo estaba sellado, nada manipulado, no le hagas caso a las malas reseñas. Vino nuevo y jalando al 100% sin fallos, estoy feliz con esta consola.
