This high-end model boasts an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" 1080p display features a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the Steam Deck's Linux-based OS, the ROG Ally runs on Windows 11, providing compatibility with virtually all major game launchers (Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more).
IGN's review praised the ROG Ally as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine, although it acknowledged some drawbacks like battery life and the lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads. The vibrant 1080p screen, powerful specs, and now significantly reduced price make it a compelling alternative to the Steam Deck.
The handheld gaming market is heating up, with competitors like the Lenovo Legion Go S emerging. However, the ROG Ally remains a strong contender, offering a compelling balance of performance and price, especially considering the current discount.
