Game Library
Owning games in multiple launchers can make for a frustrating, fractured library. We designed a Special Edition of Armoury Crate just for the Ally, designed to sort and seamlessly launch all of your games from one place, no matter where they’re installed.

Born for Handheld Gaming
AMD’s brand-new Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor powers this incredible gaming machine. Built on the cutting edge 4nm process, this silicon features both the Zen 4 architecture and brand new RDNA™ 3 graphics. Featuring incredible upscaling technologies like FidelityFX™ Super Resolution and Radeon™ Super Resolution, the Ally can boost framerates while retaining excellent image quality. Choose from three different operating modes to balance performance and power usage, from Silent Mode's 10W to Performance Mode's 15W all the way up to Turbo Mode's 25W (or 30W when connected to AC power). ROG worked in close collaboration with AMD to unleash the full potential of this cutting-edge hardware, and the Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme is here to take the gaming world by storm.

MicroSD Expansion
If you have a larger game library, the Ally has you covered. A dedicated UHS-II microSD card slot allows you to effortlessly add high-speed storage to your machine, letting you keep more of your games installed and ready to play. Boasting nearly the same load times as the dedicated PCIe Gen 4 SSD, you’ll never need to worry where you store your games.

Game on the go
Play your favourite games and content for hours without worrying about a charger. The Ally also supports fast charging*, enabling it to charge from 0-50% in just 30 minutes.
*Fast Charging Technology is tested while the device is powered off with the default adapter included with the device. Charging time may vary +/- 10% due to System tolerance.

Zero Gravity Thermal System
The ROG Ally is designed to let you play anywhere, so it needed a thermal solution to match. Traditional thermal solutions count on gravity to help heat pipes cycle heat out of the system, but with a specially constructed pipe, the Ally truly defies gravity.

Anti-Gravity Heat Pipes
Anti-Gravity heat pipes improve thermal transfer by using capillary structure for the wick, increasing capillary pressure by more than 15%. This allows the Ally’s cooling solution to maintain effectiveness even when upside-down.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing
Both fans have a fluid bearing design, which is a tried and tested style that will keep the Ally spinning like a top for years to come. Fluid bearing fans also are low friction even when run in non-traditional orientations, letting you hold the Ally in any direction without worry.

Zero Distraction
We know that extra airflow is always beneficial. The Ally is equipped with two fans, allowing better cooling at slower speeds and noise level compared to a single fan configuration.*

The Featherweight Champion
Weighing in at just 608 grams, the ROG Ally feels comfortable even during extended gaming sessions, and will never be a burden in your backpack.

Lightning Fast. Crystal Clear.
A high-powered machine needs a top-spec display to match, and the Ally has specifications that just a few years ago would have rivaled gaming laptops many times its size. Sporting a 1080p touchscreen panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and FreeSync™ Premium support, this 7-inch display is truly a joy to game on. With 100% coverage of the sRGB colour space, you can trust that all of your content looks exactly as the game makers intended.

Great Outdoor Gaming Experiences
Common LCD displays generally have a max brightness of 200-300 nits, but the Ally boasts a max brightness of 500 nits. A higher brightness allows the Ally to clearly display the action on screen when in challenging brighter environments like the great outdoors. To protect against everyday wear and tear, Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® keeps the touchscreen looking factory new.

Better Outdoor Visibility with Corning® DXC
A Corning® Gorilla® Glass DXC coating reduces surface reflections while also increasing hardness by over 40% for improved scratch resistance. Fewer reflections mean you can keep track of what’s happening on-screen in bright or outdoor environments.

Immersive Stereo Sound
Dual front-firing Smart Amp speakers with Dolby Atmos pump up the volume without distortion and immersing you directly in your games, while Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises from your voice chats.

Reach the Clouds with Wi-Fi 6E
The Ally was built to travel, so it comes equipped with ultra-fast Wi-Fi 6E networking. Wi-Fi 6E supports 4X more network capacity and 75% lower latency than Wi-Fi 6, letting the Ally stream videos, access cloud gaming services, and download games effortlessly even on crowded networks.

3 Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Included
Play Minecraft Legends and hundreds of other games on ROG Ally with 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate.
Terms and exclusions apply. Offer only available in eligible markets for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Eligible markets are determined at activation. Game catalog varies by region, device, and time. Please visit xbox.com/reg…ons for availability. (Please note that this Xbox Game Pass offer must be redeemed within 180 days of activating Windows.

    I was going to purchase one but put off by a lot of people who have reported overheating and overheating memory cards.

    It's literally 7 screws, 6 to take the back off and 1 for the SSD, U need a 2230 m.2 SSD but can put a full size 2280 m.2 with a L-shape adapter like this

    Careful with this. I ordered one from Costco a few weeks ago and it came opened and the warranty was enabled some time in 2023. Went through a replacement process and they said that ASUS rejected my return and that I should contact them to amend the start date of the warranty to when I bought it instead of getting a replacement.

    Go via Costco for a refund. You purchased something new, not second hand. Let them deal with ASUS. it's not your problem

    I'd rather wait for the 2nd gen version of this which is due towards the end of this year. Hopefully that will be more powerful and will have addressed the overheating issues that many current users are facing.

    OMG, I almost getting one. Maybe wait a little or check on the store to get a +20 quid discount...

    I was wondering if worth wait for the second version but I'm also thinking maybe ASUS will rise their target price for the next gen of ROG Ally...
