The ASUS ROG Ally is an alternative to Valve's Steam Deck. The ROG Ally though doesn't ship with Steam OS or even Linux but rather Windows 11 Home -- and coming complete with a three month subscription to Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass.
The ROG Ally is powered by the new AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor that is Zen 4 based with 8 cores / 16 threads while featuring an RDNA3 integrated GPU. The APU power is between 9 and 30 Watts. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme is much more capable than what is shipped by last year's Steam Deck.
The ASUS ROG Ally has a 7-inch 1080p IPS display, 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory, 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, Dolby Atmos audio, 40 Whrs battery, and is priced at $699 USD. Pre-orders are now available while this ASUS gaming handheld is set to begin shipping on 13 June. A $599 version featuring the Ryzen Z1 is expected for sale in Q3.
Interesting hardware but with a poor choice of OS. Nevertheless it should be possible to load Linux on it albeit we'll see if there are any power management / input quirks as the most likely initial frustrations there. More details on the ROG Ally at rog.asus.com .
