Asus ROG Ally Preorders Are Live Now

Preorders for the Asus ROG Ally are live now. The brand-new PC gaming handheld launches on June 13 for $700. A second, less powerful model will release later this year for $600, though preorders for that specific SKU are not live at this time. If you’re interested in the ROG Ally, we’d recommend ordering as soon as possible, as preorders could sell out–especially since the device is exclusive to Best Buy at this time.

The Asus ROG Ally is the manufacturer’s answer to the Steam Deck. Though the Windows handheld is slightly pricier than the most expensive Steam Deck ($649), its specifications, as you’ll see below, are more impressive than Valve’s handhelds. It remains to be seen how the two handhelds will compare from a direct performance perspective.
