The Asus Rog ally is serious competition for the Valve Steam Deck, Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X. It can play Xbox Game Pass and Steam Games easily.

As I mentioned, I was beating up some generic baddies on the rooftops of Gotham on the highest settings preset and the game ran smoothly. The Ally has three performance modes to choose from; performance, turbo and silent, which can be switched in-game. There’s also a fourth 30w turbo mode for an extra performance boost when plugged in., on battery turbo mode, I was hitting 55fps on medium settings consistently at 1080p.

The Ally is a genuine power machine. It became a game itself to see what titles could run smoothly and at what settings, with the Ally handling almost everything thrown at it. For this reason, and this reason alone, the Asus ROG Ally has comfortably benched my Steam Deck and PS5 for the last two weeks. But I have come to realise that the Ally's greatest feature could also be a poisoned chalice.

The Steam Deck really comes out on top here. It appears to be more power efficient with less demanding games. I have played simpler titles, like, for up to four hours on the Deck with optimised settings. I was getting more than two hours of Doom Eternal at 60fps, high settings and limiting TDP.
