ASUS today announced that its ROG Ally gaming laptop will go on sale starting June 13. Pre-orders will begin today, May 11. The device will cost $700 in the US and £700 in the UK.
Nintendo helped popularize tablet-like handheld game consoles with its Switch, and then Valve entered the market with its high-end Steam Deck. The ROG Ally, while more expensive than the top $649 Steam Deck model, packs some impressive specs. It will also give players the ability to officially access games from outside of the Steam ecosystem on the go.
This includes Xbox Game Pass on PC. In fact, ROG Ally will come with three months of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service.
