Asus ROG Ally price and launch date leak, and I wouldn’t buy a Steam Deck right now…
Multiple leaks have apparently confirmed the pricing of Asus’s upcoming handheld gaming console, the ROG Ally – or at least, one version of it. And it looks like good news for those of use who've been looking forward to its arrival.
According to a leaked Best Buy store screenshot from @wickedkhumz, a tweet from known hardware leaker <a href=«https://twitter.com/_snoopytech_/status/1651354672081272834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1651354672081272834%7Ctwgr%5E97206dfe1f2a51eeb7b2252c774210fea6ea55a1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F23700094%2Fasus-rog-ally-price-amd-z1-extreme» data-url=«https://twitter.com/_snoopytech_/status/1651354672081272834?ref_src=» https:>@_snoopytech_

Looking at the Steam Deck, the Ally’s main competitor in the handheld PC gaming space, the high-end model (with comparable storage but a less powerful AMD processor) costs $649 in the US.
