Asus ROG Ally

So I thought this was an April fools Ally = A Lie but turns out it's legit. This apparently supposed to have double the performance and refresh rate of the Steam Deck. Whilst it's not gonna be as cheap, they are saying pricing will be competitive. Thoughts?

There are a few takes on this already like the GPD products and competitors of varying quality. I'd rather take them over Asus probably.

Would have thought thed be better quality than gpd.

Ssd seems to be super easy to replace

@Grim5 if that is the price, then that's a win for most people.

So it looks like it will have better cooling, more power, better screen, RGB, and likely higher price.

However, will the following match up? Controls, battery life, software support, after sales support, replacement parts available. I have my doubts.

What would you want on the software side other than customisations such as tdp and fan control. From Dave2D's video, SSD is really accessible and sticks are easy to replace. Batter we'll have to find out.

Well if this proves to be true, we know the 512gb and 1tb versions will be different not just in terms of storage.... At this point I just want Asus to release the damn thing so I can decide whether or not to sell my steam deck

If there is a cheaper one, wonder if it would be slightly smaller.

If this price leak is legit and it's £600 in the UK, then it's gonna sell easily.

Is there a black version?

I know it's petty, but I hate white devices.

I really hope there is because that bezel is an eyesore.

I want 1080p gaming and a better screen and body. But would prefer it to be a steam deck than a Asus product.

What are the chances of Dell and Lenovo entering the fray?

kakarott · 28 Apr 2023 at 09:58

Question is will steam deck have cheaper pricing. I already own base model and upgraded SSD to 512gb.

If this releases for under £700, I'm pretty sure I will buy it, although I play games very very casually these days.

Looks Currys will have the Ally. This is good for those who can get discounts
