Big news has landed for fans of handheld gaming PCs. ASUS has now officially confirmed that its brand-new ROG Xbox Ally will hit stores globally on October 16th. This handheld gaming machine has been creating quite a buzz. You can read more about this confirmation directly from the source.
The ROG Xbox Ally first made its big debut at the Xbox Games Showcase back in June. It comes in two versions. The standard ROG Xbox Ally packs an AMD Ryzen Z2 A chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB solid-state drive. Then there’s the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X. This top-tier model features the strong AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip. It also boasts 24GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
Here’s where things get interesting: Microsoft, or Xbox, hasn’t shared official prices yet. They mentioned needing to consider current economic conditions. However, prices for the devices have already leaked from a Best Buy store in America. The standard Xbox Ally might cost $549.99 USD. The Xbox Ally X is listed at $899.99 USD. There are also accessories, like a 100W power dock with HDMI 2.0, USB-A, and USB-C ports, priced at $99.99 USD. A matching case reportedly costs $69.99 USD.
Now for some less exciting news for gamers in certain parts of the world. While many countries will get the ROG Xbox Ally this year, others will have to wait.
