A huge battery and powerful internals make ASUS’ handheld a great choice for taking your PC games library with you, even though Windows holds it back.
since Valve introduced the Steam Deck in 2022. Combining the play-anywhere convenience of a Nintendo Switch with a much more open and flexible tech ecosystem, not to mention the thousands more games available on PC compared to any other platform, has proven a winning combination.
The advantage of the Ally is that it works with games from any launcher or storefront you’d find on a desktop PC, from Steam to Game Pass, and it has the specs and raw power to do them justice.Physically this is a device that unapologetically leans into the PC gamer aesthetic, with customisable RGB lighting rings around the thumbsticks, vents everywhere and a holographic strip accenting the underside. But it is comfortable to hold, and not too bad to lug around, at 678 grams.
The Ally X is much more powerful and flexible than the Nintendo Switch OLED, but it’s more complicated to use and is three times the price., you have to do a bit more juggling to find the sweet spot between settings and battery. The Ally X can absolutely play Halo at 1080p and 60 frames per second , and it feels amazing to do that if you have a power source handy to plug into, but on battery alone you’ll only be able to play for an hour and a bit.
