Think the Steam Deck's done? Not by a long shot.
out just yet. Asus' new machine is the most powerful handheld gaming PC around right now, and that's not the only thing that makes it stand out. The fact Asus has actually managed to make Windows 11 an eminently usable operating system for a device with just a 7-inch screen is pretty incredible.Asus' software has always been lumped in with Razer's Synapse and NZXT's CAM in terms of annoying technical necessities, but in recent times it's actually become.
Sure, there are still jarring moments where it switches out of its pseudo handheld mode and drops you into the Windows desktop, maybe when it's loading a game from Steam or there's some notification, but Big Picture Mode will now give you almost the full SteamOS experience and stop a lot of that from happening.
But it is the gaming performance which is the most gratifying part of the ROG Ally. In the hand it delivers a fantastic gaming experience, running most games easily at 1080p, and those that don't will likely be fixed once we start getting regular driver updates from either Asus or AMD for its impressive Z1 Extreme APU.
And in its Turbo mode, plugged into a power socket and a living room TV, it gives an excellent living room console experience, too. Nvidia's no longer letting me stream games from my desktop PC onto my TV, but maybe the ROG Ally can fill the gap. It's also surprisingly well priced. Especially considering I expected Asus of all people to label up a gaming handheld as a Republic of Gamers device and presume it could charge $1,000+ for the privilege.
