Asus has revealed more details on its Ryzen Z1 powered ROG Ally handheld PC. It'll be faster than Steam Deck with a 120Hz screen - but how much does it cost?
After its initial reveal on April 1st this year, Asus is finally ready to shed more light on its ROG Ally handheld gaming PC, which launches on May 11th and will be sold by Currys in the UK. The Steam Deck competitor looks to be a more premium device than Valve's offering, with a faster AMD Ryzen Z1 series processor, seven-inch 1080p 120Hz touch screen and Windows 11 - but no price has yet been announced.
Speaking of which, the impressive-looking APU is backed with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode, while storage is up to a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD and UHS-2 Micro SD card expansion - faster than what is available on the Deck, which is limited to PCIe 3.0 storage and UHS-1 Micro SD cards. Wi-Fi 6E is also included, in comparison to WiFi 5 on Steam Deck.
Performance data provided by AMD shows impressive figures at 720p and 1080p - albeit with the chips running in turbo mode at up to 30W, compared to the 15W default performance profile - and the 15W Steam Deck.The IPS screen looks like a major differentiating factor compared to the Steam Deck, with a higher-res 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and impressive 500 nits of peak brightness.
