Microsoft opened pre-orders for two ASUS-manufactured gaming handhelds. The ROG Xbox Ally X costs $999 while the standard ROG Xbox Ally retails for $599. Both devices run on AMD Z2 processors but feature different performance capabilities. Major retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart began accepting orders for the portable gaming systems.
The premium Ally X model contains 24GB memory, 1TB storage, and the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor with eight cores. This version delivers superior graphics through 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units and operates with a larger 70-80Wh battery. The standard Ally uses 16GB memory, 512GB storage, and the AMD Ryzen Z2A chip with four cores. Price increases may occur due to current trade policies affecting electronics manufacturing.
