ASUS' gaming brand ROG has announced its first mobile gaming PC, the ROG Ally. ASUS said of ROG Ally: “ROG has always pushed the boundaries of gaming by delivering better performance in smaller devices. We've released different products to go farther and stronger, and now all that know-how has been brought together in one device.'

The appearance of ROG Ally is as follows. It looks very similar to Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.



ASUS is equipped with Windows 11, so if you have played games on Windows so far, you can play PC games you have purchased in the past on ROG Ally.



Furthermore, it is also possible to play games on a large screen by connecting to a monitor and outputting images as well as handheld.



These are made possible by custom Ryzen APUs made by AMD. With this custom chip, ASUS appeals that ``carrying AAA titles is no longer a pipe dream''.



In addition, ROG Ally is equipped with a high-performance Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display, so you can see beautiful images on the go or under the spotlight.



ASUS explains that ``you can enjoy gorgeous and smooth full HD games,'' but the refresh rate of the display has not been revealed.



In addition, ROG Ally uses a cooling system that draws on ROG's years of

intelligent cooling know-how. Specifically, it is said that it adopts a dual fan mechanism, and it is possible to operate very quietly even if the fan is operating.



In addition, you can freely set the key layout by using Armory Crate, ASUS's PC setting software.



In addition, if you use an external GPU for gaming notebook PCs called

ROG XG Mobile , you can output game images on a large screen while charging the terminal. This area is exactly like Nintendo Switch.



Various games are played on ROG Ally in the video.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human



WRC Generations



Ship of Fools



Golf With Your Friends



Ghostrunner



Steel rising



In addition, ROG Ally will be available for pre-order at Best Buy, and a dedicated page has already been prepared.
