History
Asus began developing a handheld gaming computer in 2018 to compete with handheld computers such as the GPD Win 2. Development slowed down over the next few years but was accelerated after Valve's 2021 announcement of the Steam Deck, which quickly led to a renewed public interest in handheld gaming computers. The device was announced on April 1, 2023, leading many to believe it is an April Fools' Day prank, with Asus clarifying its legitimacy three days later. Asus revealed the ROG Ally's release date, technical specifications and price on June 11, 2023. Two models were announced, one retailing for US$599 and implementing a Ryzen Z1 Processor, and another retailing for US$699 and implementing a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. The latter was released on June 13, 2023, and the former will be released during the third quarter of 2023.
