Asus may just have something here.

But as we approach the early May launch — Asus is holding a launch event on May 11th — we’ll need to keep our eyes peeled for a few important questions that I can’t answer from my brief hands-on period. First: the price difference. Second: real-world battery life. And third: any glitches.But first, let’s talk hardware. The first thing I notice when picking up the ROG Ally is that it’s much flatter than the Steam Deck.

There are no Steam Deck-like trackpads on the Ally, so its controls need to serve dual purposes. They have to function as gaming controllers when you’re in game, and they also need to be able to navigate Windows, an operating system made for a mouse, once you’ve quit the game.

Asus’ Armoury Crate lets you pick power modes both plugged and unplugged, modify the RGB lighting under the thumbsticks, and more., Armoury Crate is where you control pretty much everything about the system — performance and cooling profiles, RGB lighting schemes, key mapping, that sort of stuff. You can do many of these things in the Ally’s Armoury Crate as well.

Overall, performance on the device itself was impressive. Running was smooth, jumps were explosive, colors were brilliant, and there was nary a stutter to be seen. I can’t emphasize enough how different of a gaming experience it is from the Steam Deck, which is lower in resolution, dimmer, and maxes out at 60fps .
