Asus ROG Ally: What You Need To Know About This Potential Steam Deck Killer [Update]
By Kakuchopurei|May 10, 2023|1 Comment
The Asus ROG Ally is a gaming device from the PC-making company that is clearly capitalizing on the Valve Steam Deck fad. However, it does plan to be a more powerful version of its competitor while also being its own beast: a portable gaming beast that plans to run EVERY PC game out there. Keep in mind that Asus ROG is known for its powerful-if-expensive mobile phones, so it’s most likely taking those lessons and processes to heart and implementing it onto the Ally.
Here’s what we know about the upcoming gaming device, slated for an 11th May official reveal from Asus.
The Asus ROG Ally is a portable PC tailored to have controllers on each end with a screen in the middle like the Nintendo Switch. In essence, it’s following the build of Valve’s Steam Deck, but more powerful. See, the device is debuting the AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme which is a handheld-dedicated chip meant for devices similar to the Steam Deck.
Steam Deck users may be jealous at what the Ally offers (via Verge):
Let’s break this down in bullet points:
Here are the official specs:
APU: AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme
Cores: 8
Threads: 16
Graphics: RDNA 3
RAM: 16GB LPDDR5
Display: 7-inch IPS 1080p/120Hz
Storage: 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD/microSD
Weight: 608g
Update [19/5/2023]:
The ASUS ROG Ally will be out in Malaysia in July 2023. No price has been announced or confirmed yet, but PC gaming fans should “get ready to be surprised – in a good way!” This is probably a way to prevent grey imports of the Ally (and scalper tactics) from being commonplace come 13 June.
Update [11/5/2023]:
The ASUS ROG Ally will cost US$699 (roughly around RM3,200 or S$930) and will be out on 13 June.

There is no official price yet, but the device is rumoured to cost RM4,599 to RM5,599. However, these are placeholder price tags that are on Lazada and Shoppee; the official pricing will only be revealed this week on 11 May. Asus has promised that the gaming device’s price tag will be competitive value-wise.
