Is the Asus ROG Ally worth buying?
Asus' gaming handheld now faces a more competitive market
Pros
- More powerful than a Steam Deck
- Streamlined and stylish design
- Full HD screen is colourful and vibant
- Windows 11 is user friendly
Cons
- Expensive compared to competitors
- Poor battery life
- 120Hz screen feels wasted here
We reviewed the Asus ROG Ally earlier this year, awarding it a 4 out of 5 rating. We praised it for the high performance, vibrant Full HD display and stylish design.
In our verdict, we wrote: “The Asus ROG Ally is a more powerful alternative to the Steam Deck. It features a superior design and more user-friendly software. That high price is hard to justify, however, especially with the poor battery life. Competition is more fierce now too, with the new Steam Deck OLED and Lenovo Legion Go on the scene.”
Since it runs on Windows 11 it can run any app that your Windows laptop can, be it Google Chrome, YouTube, or even Xbox Game Pass if you want to make the most out of cloud streaming. You can also boot up any PC game storefront you fancy, so you’re not limited to just your Steam library.
If you crave a little bit more power than what the Steam Deck has to offer though, then the Asus ROG Ally is worth considering, especially following this huge price cut.
