Taiwanese computing hardware giant Asus is gearing up to launch its much-anticipated gaming handheld device, the ROG Ally. The company has already shared details most details about the gaming handheld, including its specifications, features, and the global launch date. In case you missed it, Asus plans to launch the device in a global event on May 11, 2023. The company also invited media for a preview event in Brooklyn, New York. However, one thing that is still missing here that everyone wants to know is the price of the Ally. Well, you don’t have to wait any longer, as the pricing of the gaming handheld just been spotted online. Let’s check all the pricing details for the Ally here.
ROG Ally pricing details surfaces online
According to the Asus ROG Ally listing on Best Buy, the top-end version with AMD Z1 Extreme processor will be priced at $699. It makes the upcoming device an impressive proposition for anyone looking to purchase either a gaming handheld or a laptop replacement. This means the regular version of the Ally will be cheaper, probably $599 or $549. We are unsure if the company can push the price down to $499, but if they do, it will sell like hotcakes.
Asus ROG Ally price in India
Though Asus has not shared the India pricing for the ROG Ally, we can guesstimate based on what most companies follow with their products. This means the top-end version will be priced at around Rs. 69,999, and the regular version may come to around Rs. 59,999 or Rs. 55,999. This pricing looks impressive considering the absence of any other gaming handheld in India in any official capacity. Looking around, you can get the Valve Steam Deck gaming handheld with 64GB storage at Rs. 42,499.
Even though the Steam Deck is cheaper in price, and it will continue to slip down, the claimed performance difference and official customer support will attract gamers to the ROG Ally. We should note that the company has not shared details about the India launch for the ROG Ally. However, it is possible that we may not have to wait for a long time after the global launch if recent Asus ROG launch timelines are anything to go by.
