Today’s Asus ROG Ally deal
The Asus ROG Ally features a 7-inch full HD touchscreen display with up to 1080p resolution and a 120hz refresh rate. It handles as much memory as mid-tier gaming laptops with 16GB of RAM and holds up to 512GB of storage. Most popular gaming platforms and apps, including Steam, GOG, and Xbox Game Pass, also work with the software. In its Asus ROG Ally review, TechRadar highlighted it lightweight, thin build, distinct honeycomb chassis, and the performance of its dedicated CPU/GPU. These strengths (and the weaknesses of Windows) echo in even the latest Asus handheld, the Asus ROG Ally X.
