ASUS's ROG Xbox Ally sits in the same space as the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go: a Windows 11 handheld that runs PC storefronts and Game Pass titles without being locked to a single ecosystem. It's part of the ROG family, so expect a gaming-first slant rather than a "tablet with controls" feel, with a focus on smooth handheld play and quick pick-up sessions.

Who is this for?

If you want one device that can jump between Xbox app/Game Pass, Steam and Epic, Windows 11 is the main draw, with the trade-off that it can feel more "PC-like" to manage than a console-style interface. The 7-inch Full HD 120Hz display is aimed at fluid motion in lighter esports and indie titles, while also giving you crisp text for launchers and settings. With 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, you've got enough headroom for modern games and multitasking, though big installs will fill storage quickly.

  • 7" FHD 120Hz screen, smoother scrolling and more responsive-feeling gameplay when frame rates allow.
  • 16GB RAM, helps stability in newer titles and reduces stutter when swapping apps.
  • 512GB SSD, fast load times, but you'll still be juggling installs if your library is large.
