Meet the ROG Ally, the Perfect Handheld Companion for Any Gamer

[Space Lynx]

its also important to remember here, I paid $360 for my steam deck... the rog ally is literally twice the fucking price once adjusted for the extra tax. of course it will have a better chip.

i still prefer my deck and being Windows free, M$ is continually trying to exploit us as much as possible with more ads, etc - its so refreshing having the SteamOS offline experience for my games, knowing the OS isn't collecting data on every single fucking click I make. just feels nice gaming in peace with no pop-up or having to spend 2 hours tinkering in settings and privacy settings.

also a friendly reminder that steam deck has insanely good audio, i would love to see a rog ally produce the same audio quality the deck does, i hope i can see it side by side someday at best buy, because the Deck in Dishonored when you equip the heart, the female voice that plays, it feels like you are in a dolby atmos theater, I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW STEAM DECK PULLS THIS OFF.... i highly doubt the rog ally can match it in audio quality. i literally have 0 complaints with my steam deck and look forward to buying steam deck 2

According to some rumors the Ally will be considerably faster than the Steam Deck.

Faster yes, but worse software and cheap build quality.

just fyi steam deck can emulator all of these as well. not sure about rog ally, but probably can download an emulator on it and do the same.

I hope the Special Version of Armoury Crate is really special, because PC version is horrible and I had to uninstall it and use OpenRGB to get LED strip working also in Linux and not only after Windows boot.

I still think the handheld is pretty neat even though I wouldn't buy it. Overall pretty impressed though and I'm excited for how much better handhelds can get in the performance department going forward.

Also it's not like Valve has a good track record of supporting their hardware long term.... All these companies just want your money no reason to hold any of them higher than the other.

The good thing is that AMD made a "custom" APU, next generations of APUs could be even more custom like consoles.

Great ROG Ally emulation gameplay because support of AVX-512.

I could see Nintendo looking at it for their next Hand held.
