Perhaps the most important aspect of the ROG Ally's design is that it's smaller than the Steam Deck. It's good to see Asus knocking at Valve's door, even if Windows 11 isn't exactly meant to be stuffed into a design like this. That said, the Ally shows up the Steam Deck tremendously with its bright 1920 x 1080 screen, which is also faster at 120 Hz, though those specs raise questions about battery life. SteamOS is still king when it comes to useability on a PC gaming handheld. And while Asus’ is largely very good, it’s not perfect. But Asus had to build on top of Microsoft’s OS with its Armoury Crate SE software. Windows 11 brings many benefits - basically every game you'd want to play is compatible without emulation, and game streaming works great. The first major player to arrive is Asus, partnering with Microsoft and AMD for the ROG Ally ($699.99 as tested) with Windows 11 and new Ryzen Z1 chips - including the top-end Z1 Extreme in our review unit.
