The ASUS ROG Ally console is a gadget you don't want to miss if you can afford it. The fact that it runs Windows 11, as I stated throughout the review, can be considered both a boon and a curse. You have compatibility with every Windows game and app, but all sorts of bugs keep...
The two-part design of the ModCase makes it arguably as protective as a sleeve without the bulk. There's a soft grip case that slips onto your ROG Ally and is intended to stay there, providing a base level of protection that can be enjoyed even while playing with it. On top of that...
Overall, the ROG Ally is rather well-built. Although that’s not to excuse it coming without a carry case, or even some kind of padded ROG sock stuffed in the box. Come on, Asus, it’s a portable computer! Even the cheapest Steam Deck model isn’t so miserly as to ship ...
At the higher-power 30W setting, the ROG Ally again takes the lead, though the gains are diminished by moving up to the more demanding 1080p resolution. You can, of course, run things at 30W still at 720p, in which case you’ll see an even larger increase over the Steam Deck. Here...

Asus ROG Ally review: Design Sleek, all-white chassis Light weight The ROG Ally has a striking all-white design that distinguishes it from the all-black Steam Deck. RGB lighting under the two analog sticks stands out nicely against the white chassis. The front air vents are strategically plac...

You can expect to extend the battery life of the ROG Ally further when playing less intensive games such as Stardew Valley and Football Manager. But I also used a PCMark 10 battery benchmark that’s designed to measure use for office workloads – not a use case for the ROG Ally but pro...
ROG Ally X: AAA gaming in your hands! AMD Z1 Extreme APU, 120Hz display, Zero Gravity thermal system for incredible performance on the go.
Asus takes on the Steam Deck with a Windows-based gaming device that makes big leaps in hardware, but the Ally's software and UI have room to grow.
