Reviews for the Asus ROG Xbox Ally
Slower than the Steam Deck OLED – Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld review | Notebookcheck
The ROG Xbox Ally is Asus's more affordable take on its new handheld line. At €599, it goes head-to-head with Valve's Steam Deck OLED, but under the hood it still runs on AMD's older Zen 2 architecture, limiting performance gains.
