Pros and cons for Asus ROG Ally List of reviews and ratings
To better compare, we looked for you the advantages and disadvantages of Below and the notes given by specialized sites.


Extremely comfortable to hold
Beautiful display
Windows 11 operating system
Mappable buttons
Finicky interface
[100/100] reviewed at 25/04/2024 - This carrying case kept my ASUS ROG Ally safe for thousands of miles, and I'd trust it with yours, too [read the full review on Windows Central]


16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of PCIe 4.0 SSD.
Very lightweight and comfortable design with buttons based on the layout of the Xbox controller.
1080p 120 Hz screen
All the versatility and game and software catalog of Windows 11 (Steam, Xbox Game Pass, other platforms, etc.)
Price adjusted taking into account everything it offers and its superiority over the competition.
Incorporate FreeSync Premium, RSR, and FSR technologies.
Good integration of the Armoury Crate interface.
Limited autonomy in demanding games for maximum performance.
The cardboard support is a bit basic, a foldable base at the back would have been better.


Nice looking display and plenty bright
Performance was really great, didn't seem to get hot or lag
Very quiet, hardly noticed the fans spinning up when they needed to
Sound quality is decent, headphones are preferred though
The best battery life in a handheld, that's what sells this
Windows 11 sleep and wake problems, to be fair, that is a Windows thing
I wish it had the larger screen of the Legion Go


Lightweight
Great sound quality
Beautifully clear display
Familiar controls


The screen is not OLED but it is of high quality, fullHD, 120Hz and VRR.
All the versatility of the Windows system. All the stores and all the games from up to 40 years ago.
Many software innovations, support for FSR 3, and smooth motion generation improve performance and therefore durability.
Battery non-existent if you play at full power.
The heat is kept under control but throttling kicks in at 95°C, attention must be paid to the microSD slot factor.
The 16:9 aspect ratio is not suitable for very retro retro games.
Will the analog sticks stand the test of time? They are certainly not replaceable without assistance.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Very good screen.
Easy access to almost all game launchers and libraries.
No accessories.


Good form factor
Compatible with ROG XG Mobile
Quick charging
Heat does not spread to contact areas
Relatively short battery life
Windows 11 and handheld don't mix well - yet
Armory Crate can be more stable (could be better at launch)
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Running Windows 11, it's not limited to gaming and allows for broader PC-like functionality
Comfortable to hold, and efficient in heat management
Easily switch between PC and Console mode
Good sound quality, continuing the trend seen in other ROG products
Smooth sleep and wake-up process, providing quick accessibility
Born from an April Fool's joke, the ROG Ally demonstrates creative and outside-the-box thinking from ASUS
The update process is cumbersome with different applications for various updates, leading to unnecessary complexity and storage consumption
The bundled conventional laptop PD power adapter was seen as a disappointment, contrasting with the device's portable nature
The SD card positioning and suggested use for running games raised concerns about longevity and appropriateness
While adequate for shorter sessions, battery life might be limiting for longer commutes or flights


The (over)power.
The audio section
A true pleasure on a daily basis.
A full-fledged Windows 11 on board.
Autonomy ranging from 55 minutes to 3 hours 30.
Still a few bugs and crashes.
The directional pad like the Game Gear, not a precision model...
A full-fledged Windows 11 on board.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


From a pure performance standpoint, it has no rivals.
Windows 11 allows you to install anything and easily use Ally as a desktop replacement.
The situation with proprietary software and pilots is problematic.
We are not entirely convinced about the back buttons.


Virtually unlimited game catalog.
Technically flawless.
Impressive performances.
Silent.
Controlled cooling.
Off-putting interface.
Ridiculous autonomy.
Limited connectivity.


Attractive 1080p display
Impressive gaming performance
Navigation can be frustrating
Windows 11 isn?t for everyone


Top notch performance
Easy to customise
Massively immersive
A bit cumbersome
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Silent
Powerful equipment
Good ergonomics
Possibility to use any game launcher or install anything.
120 Hz screen
1080p screen not always usable.
Windows is very poorly used.

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Windows 11 allows you to access your entire PC game library
Plenty of additional potential when connecting to other devices
Great visuals on its 120Hz touchscreen panel
A tad pricey
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Possibility to connect the console to your TV...
Compatible with the Dualsense...
Compatibility with ROG XG Mobile graphics cards to have more power for demanding games...
Optimal comfort in handling
A simple and excellent design
The cooling system with two ultra silent fans.
The impressive console has Dolby Atmos sound quality.
Much more powerful than a Steam Deck with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme.
A huge game catalog
The all-in-one USB-C port and a headphone jack
... subject to purchasing a docking station
... although usable on Steam only
... which unfortunately increases an already high budget just for the portable console.
The battery life is very short - between one and two hours in gaming mode.
Relatively excessive price.
The Armoury Crate, or the Asus overlay that lacks clarity on the interface.
Some games are not yet fully optimized without an ROG XG Mobile graphics card, just like Windows 11.
