Asus Rog Ally at Media Markt: The price of the gaming handheld is on the decline

With the Asus Rog Ally you can enjoy a gaming session on the go. Thanks to Windows 11, you have many options available to you that you also know from a PC. MediaMarkt currently has a version of the PC handheld with a Ryzen Z1 and 512 gigabytes of internal memory for 499 euros.

In our test, the screen was particularly impressive, especially when compared to the competition. Our test device with Ryzen Z1 Extreme was able to display games like Far Cry 6 wonderfully on the seven-inch full HD display.

There are weaknesses in navigation. For example, games have to be laboriously closed. Although you can change the way you control before playing, our tester still found it annoying and recommends against playing strategy games on the Asus Rog Ally.

Since the gaming handheld is really a mobile PC with a controller and touchscreen, the specifications might be of interest to you. Inside, in addition to the Ryzen Z1 processor, there are also 16 gigabytes of LPDDR5 RAM and a 512 gigabytes M.2 SSD. You can expand the memory ex works with a micro SD card. The battery lasts around 1.5 to three hours. With a few tricks you could still improve the battery life and memory.

• AMD Ryzen Z1 with RDNA 3 graphics

• 7-inch Full HD display with 120 Hertz and AMD FreeSync Premium

• Windows 11

The Steam Deck competitor with AMD Ryzen Z1 chip and 7-inch Full HD 120 Hertz display is offered at MediaMarkt for 499 euros. Some other retailers also offer the version for the same price, but the PC handheld is not cheaper than new.
