The Asus ROG Ally just got a major price cut, dropping to $500 and putting it head-to-head with devices like the Nintendo Switch 2. For that price, you’re getting a full Windows-based gaming handheld with access to massive PC libraries like Steam and Epic Games.

With a 120Hz Full HD display, 16GB RAM, and an AMD Ryzen chip, it’s a solid performer for portable gaming. While it may require tweaking settings for demanding titles, it shines with indie games and offers flexibility that console ecosystems simply can’t match.
