Second to none, or nothing but the best? For Asus, it’s all about rising to the top when it comes to gaming on the go.

While the Nintendo Switch once had the mobile gaming market all to itself, last year’s Valve SteamDeck (you know, the brainchild of the same geniuses who gave us Half-Life) flipped the script. That pocket-sized powerhouse of a PC found its way into the hands of over a million people, spicing things up with easier-to-navigate menus and controls. Though it was a game-changer, it did come with its own set of drawbacks: it was kind of chunky and its screen was a tad underwhelming.

But now, Asus has entered the handheld gaming arena with what could possibly be the mightiest mini PC you’ve ever laid eyes on.

Asus ROG Ally

What do you need to know about the Asus ROG Ally?

The ROG Ally, armed with a stunning Full-HD screen, remarkable performance, and a mega storage capacity (plus, you can hook it up to an external graphics card to crank up the gaming muscle), is set to redefine portable gaming. It can handle most games at high settings and can even team up with your TV and controller for some cozy couch gaming.

But where it truly steals the spotlight is when you’re on the move, thanks to the tech whizzes at Asus who have made this as portable and user-friendly as possible.

The Ally can handle anything from emulated throwback classics to the latest blockbuster titles. It plays nice with Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, and more. Plus, there’s a special edition of Armoury Crate, which keeps all your games neatly organized and allows you to tweak some settings (like swapping between battery-saving and turbo-performance modes).

All in all, the Asus ROG Ally is your golden ticket to limitless gaming, anytime, anywhere. What’s not to adore about that?

The Asus ROG Ally hits the shelves on June 14, with a price tag of AED2,699. Pre-orders kick off on June 1. For more intel, swing by rog.asus.com.
