Powered by the AMD power-efficient Z1 or the Z1 Extreme processor, the ROG Ally runs Windows 11 OS that enables games from multiple gaming services like Steam, and Xbox Game Pass and will be handled by a Special Edition of Armoury Crate. Complementing the processor are 16GB DDR5 RAM and 256GB or 512GB of Gen 4 SSD.
For on-the-go gaming, ROG Ally promises up to 2 hours of heavy gaming and comes with a 7-inch 120Hz FHD panel with FreeSync Premium support with a maximum brightness of 500 nits and Gorilla Glass Victus with DXC coating.
For more mainstream gaming, ROG Ally can be connected to Asus’ XG Station external GPU unit to play in up to 4K resolution.
