Score breakdown
Why this grade
iFixit scored the ROG Ally 7/10. Strong repair-friendly hardware: battery, display, thumbsticks, fan and storage are all modular and straightforward, and per iFixit's current scorecard Asus now provides a good selection of repair parts and instructions (parts sold via iFixit). It runs open Windows with no part serialization, so software locks are not a barrier. Held back by a glued-in screen requiring adhesive cutting, a charge port and most buttons soldered to the mainboard, and Asus's mixed/evolving repair reputation (early units shipped with no committed parts supply, and Asus has a documented poor warranty/RMA track record). Good design, middling official-support consistency.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60).
