[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58845, member: 1"] Asus is developing its very first gaming handheld PC, the ROG Ally, to compete with the Steam Deck. Although the company released the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5lq4Q7YAjE']trailer[/URL] for the PC gaming handheld on April Fools' Day over the weekend, the PC gaming handheld is the real deal — and you can register to [URL='https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus/learn-about-rog-ally/pcmcat1678398541884.c?id=pcmcat1678398541884&ref=186&loc=asus_social']pre-order it from Best Buy[/URL]. According to Asus, the Ally runs on Windows 11 and carries a customized APU developed by Asus and AMD to make it the fastest APU to optimize gameplay performance on the go. It also has dual fans that keep the handheld cool while running a graphically demanding game as quietly as possible.

The Ally has a 7-inch screen just like the Steam Deck, but has a resolution of 1080p instead of 800p, and the display performance goes up to 120Hz. The volume for its fans is 20dB on load — 17 decibels lower than the Steam Deck, which runs the fans at 37dB. Other companies have tried to compete with the Steam Deck with handheld PCs of their own, like Ayaneo, a small company in China that has developed the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ayaneo-air-review']Ayaneo Air[/URL] and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ayaneo-2-review']Ayaneo 2[/URL] — both of which were released within six months.
