ASUS announces when the ASUS ROG Ally is launching in the Philippines
As we reported more than a month ago, both the regular and Extreme versions of the ASUS ROG Ally will be released here, with the latter going on sale before the other. While we can’t share the local pricing yet, recall that the console is priced from $599.99 (roughly P33,422) in the United States. It goes to $699.99 (P38,988) for the variant with an AMD Ryzen Z1 processor and a more capable GPU.
The ASUS ROG Ally ships with 512GB of PCIe Gen4 storage that can be upgraded at any time and boots Windows 11 out of the box, so you can use Windows apps, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming without the need for tweaks or installing third-party software. It scales up to 30 watts in Turbo mode with the charger plugged in. You’ll find a 7-inch FHD screen, a left-mounted D-pad, dual fans, dual analog sticks, four face buttons, and RGB lighting here, too.
With ROG’s XG Mobile eGPU, you can charge the device while streaming games to a TV or large monitor
