Finally Abbiamo potuto dare uno sguardo più ravvicinato ad Asus ROG Ally, the new console/PC portable dell’azienda di Taiwan. This device does put, by all means, a serious competitor to the Steam Deck, not only through its technical features, but also because of the cost of public access (less than 1000 dollars, being with Asus) and for it Variate compatibility in terms of games and services.
In this article I found a little recap of the fact that Asus had contacted me during the presentation hands off for the stamp.
Asus ROG Ally, the portable computer with top performance
Asus ROG Ally is the new “portable computer” from Asus ROG; a device designed to compete with one of the greatest successes of this last year, Steam Deck. E l’azienda di Taiwan will certainly not fly the minimum sindacale, but I will point high through the realization of a machine that performs but is extremely versatile for gaming, offering the opportunity for gaming practically to all your library of games without troppe limitazioni in termini di accessi e possibilità.
Ed è correcto sottolineare “librerie”, perché a diferenza di Steam Deck, che permette di usufruire dei soli titoli Steam, your ROG Ally will be able to enjoy a vast amount of clientsda Ubisoft+ fino a Battle.net, Epic Games, Steam, EA fino a soprattutto a Xbox Game Pass (ben tres mesi di Ultimate saranno compresi en ogni acquisto).
Grazie infatti to software Armory Crate SE, any single bookstore giochi will be easily accessible, making it possible to have any title with extreme ease, a bit like GOG Galaxy that serves as general raggruppatore. Quite clearly we did not accept SteamOs, but an operating system based on a personalized Windows, with tutti i pro ei control of the case.

Following ROG tradition, the Ally is certainly not a macchina that passes unserved: white coloring with various RGB LEDs, asymmetrical analog and Xbox layout. Asus has paid particular attention to ergonomics, for which reason Hanno spinto i designer to test decine and decine of prototypes, in degree of finding that it can be adapted to any type of hand. The idea is that I will avoid that the giocatore if stanchi troppo with the pollice by pressing the bottom on the side of the stick.
For the grip, it is thought of a method very similar to what has been seen with the DualSense of PlayStation: so many minor loghi of ROG have little trouble on all the back, so that the grip is more stable and less slippery. Ad aiutare, always as far as comfort is concerned, is the weight: this PC does not go beyond 608 grams and it means a little less than 100 grams in less respect to Steam Deck.
In the back it is possible to find two macro shots completely customizable and easily raggiungibili. Questi risultano molto utili per alcune tipologie di giochi e la loro posizione è sinz’altro ben pensata.

eat potte verere Asus ROG Ally features a new AMD chip chiamato Z1, ove in this case if it is about its extreme version. The 7” LCD screen in Full HD at 120Hz (with FreeSync) is designed to guarantee maximum fluidity for the greatest part of video games, which is why it is not eligible for OLED support.
A surprise sows the curate cooling system based on its two anti-gravity vents, which dovrebbero guarantee performance always stable also with continuous movement of the device, all with noise limited to only 20dB.
We still do not know the performance of the giochi, but with good probability we can ipotizzare to a full HD with medium-bass details and with the opportunity to scale the own scelta a second of how much fluid we have a game. Chiaramente parliamo di potesi e non certezze.
As far as space is concerned, the 512 GB SSD will guarantee the installation of a discreet number of titles, but in any way it is possible to eventually install an additional SD card to increase the available space.
pulling the somme
Asus ROG Ally sows a platform in grade, not only does it compete with the Steam Deck, but also batter it. If davvero the Taiwanese company will be able to launch on the market a device of the genera under 1000 euro, it may well be interesting because the specific espresso and the possibility of performance sow promise very well. Surely we will not speak in such a way that I will be around the course of next week, when this portable PC will be released on the market.
