Where to buy the Asus ROG Ally — the would-be Steam Deck killer is now available
Time to pick up an ROG Ally?
The Asus ROG Ally is finally available, and while we aren't sure if it will truly kill the Steam Deck, there's no denying that in the hardware battle between the Asus ROG Ally vs. Steam Deck, Asus comes out on top. So if you are intrigued by all that portable power, here is where you can buy one for yourself.
With its vastly improved display, awesome power (that AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme is a screamer,) and Windows 11 support (ensuring support for all of your game libraries) the Ally is a fantastic portable games machine — and at $699/£699, we remain thrilled at the price point.
So much so, Laptop Mag's Editor-in-Chief Sherri L. Smith gave it our highly coveted Editor’s Choice award! If you’re sold on picking one up (or you’re getting some Steam Deck buyer’s remorse like me), here are all the places where you can order it today.
