Gaming Rog Ally X announced for pre-order with a $800 price tag

[K3Nv2]

It would appear that best buy has submitted pre-order availability with a high price of $800. A bit of a bold move on ASUS, however with double the battery life, with nearly double the ram, standard 2280 m.2 support as well as rocking an attractive new black color is it really worth the upgrade?

Release Date: 07/22/2024

Pre-order here.

Meanwhile the original white model, with the z1 extreme took a $50 price drop. That's a $150 less to consider.

the deck finally has some comps

Finally? It already did. Under a rock as usual I see. Watch. July 22nd you'll be telling everyone... "Called it! Rog Ally X is Steam Dock competitor for $799!!!"

Why can't they just make OLED screens a norm now. Especially when they are charging such high price tags.

The moment I hear Asus, I think back on their latest controversy. Their hardware does have great design and is captivating, but I'd still choose the steam deck oled over this

Never had any problems with my Asus laptop that I bought like years ago, thankfully. Nowadays? I'm not buying or wouldn't buy anything from them, just to show them who's the real boss here. People should do the same until this scam company will start to treat their customers with respect. In the near future when I'll be investing in some x86 handheld, I'll be sure to get either Steam Deck or GPD Win Mini (Linux instead of spy). Probably Steam Deck also because of Linux and how much Valve helped with gaming situation on this operating system.

Not gonna lie, more interested seeing Switch 2's announcement than yet another handheld (powerful as it may be).

Steam Deck 2 might be announced next year or so, I guess.

What's the point of an Xbox handheld? They're not going to release physical games for it, I assume.

Xbox will likely go fully digital, no more physical games seeing how their physical games are all disappearing from outlets, pushing even more xbox owners onto gamepass

Xbox's next evolution is a way to play Gamepass on the go, because there's no way anyone would play full price for their trash first party output

No trackpad like Steam Deck - without me.
