Man, the world of gaming handhelds is wild right now. So, there’s this frenzy over the new thing, the Nintendo Switch 2. Everyone’s buzzing. But then you’ve got the Asus ROG Ally sitting there too, with its snazzy Z1 Extreme processor. It’s, like, $499 at Best Buy. No, really. Kind of gives you pause, right?
Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh, right. So Asus is trying to make waves against big names like the Steam Deck, MSI Claw, and even Lenovo’s Legion Go. The ROG Ally’s got this Xbox version coming out soon, which is interesting if you’re into that kind of crossover. Prices might drop eventually, but if you’re keen on a Windows 11 device, this is probably your jam right now.
Now, let’s talk geek stuff. The Z1 processor on the ROG Ally? It’s not that power-hungry. So your battery won’t die on you mid-battle or whatever. And when you’re plugged in, it’s like, supercharged. Smooth gameplay, better than the Steam Deck, or at least that’s the buzz.
Tried this thing myself. Shocking, right? The weight’s lighter than the Steam Deck. Plus, that display! Seriously colorful. And since it runs Windows 11, you can pretty much play any PC game. It’s like carrying a mini powerhouse in your bag. Weird, but cool.
Oh, and if you’re chasing deals, you might want to check out some of those juicy PC Hardware sales. Graphics cards and CPUs and whatnot. I mean, who doesn’t love a good bargain hunt?
