Asus has officially announced the ROG Ally, its first dedicated handheld gaming PC, and it's coming straight for Steam Deck's lunch. With confirmation of the device's existence last month, Asus has been quiet about its new venture over the last few weeks. However, with a roster of specs now public, it's easy to see just what kind of device the Ally will be.
If you weren't paying attention on April Fool's Day, or you simply dismissed this futuristic gaming PC handheld as a joke, just know that the Asus ROG Ally is the first serious competitor to the Steam Deck that we've seen. Its sleek design, Windows 11 operating system, and solid components under the hood promise a slick experience across a wide range of launchers and games. While we're still awaiting price information, there's a Launch Event scheduled for May 11, 2023, which will provide all the answers we need.
