I see AMD just announced the Ryzen Z1 and Z1 extreme APU that will be featured in the ROG ally. considering the APU should be better than the 6800U which is featured in the Ayaneo 2, my hope is low for the pricing, especially since one features a way more capable GPU option. my guess is $800+ for the basics version and $1100+ for the one featuring the Z1 extreme. |
I'm actually looking forward for this baby.
I have the SteamDeck and while amazing, it has flaws, which I think will be solved with the Ally.
- Windows support is not perfect. I mean you can install Windows, you can get drivers, setup your controller, etc.. But this is really not "plug and play" in any way. Yes you can get GamePass on your Deck if you make the effort but it is really not as good as having it natively supported.
- Subpar performance. I want this kind of device for 2 things: GamePass and Emulation. It works for emulation but quickly reaches limits when you emulate more recent stuff. The Ally is packing some serious power :) I want this to play my D4 while pooping! (I played D4 on the deck, it works tho, but again, very low resolution/settings)!
