85% ROG Ally review: A powerful alternative to the Steam Deck
Source: Hardware Zone
So, the ROG Ally may not be the go-to choice for everyone. For a good number of gamers, the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch OLED may still hold the top spots. But for those hungry for extra firepower or the enhanced flexibility that Windows offers, the ROG Ally is a remarkable contender. With a price point of US$699.99 (Singapore's pricing will differ), it's a fair deal and is recommended for those intrigued, though with a few minor reservations. If you're mulling over a gaming laptop, the ROG Ally, with its distinctive form, may blend into your lifestyle more seamlessly. ASUS deserves a pat on the back for this endeavour, and with potential for future software enhancements and personalised DIY tweaks, it could turn out to be a real winner for the right user.
