ASUS ROG ALLY
Struggling to set up your giant PC gaming rig on the bus? This Windows portable is much more potent than the Valve Steam Deck thanks to an all-new AMD Ryzen Z1 processor, yet mostly stays whisper-quiet. Its screen has a higher resolution and a variable refresh rate, and it runs any PC game you like – not just the ones that get on with Linux.
The ROG Ally is slightly smaller and lighter than the Steam Deck, but slimmer hand-grips do make it less comfortable to hold. The full contingent of inputs at the sides (plus paddles at the rear) are all easily accessed, though – as are handy navigation keys that open Asus’s gaming software. This puts installed games within easy reach, along with the settings, although it feels like a bit of a work in progress.
