One of the people that leaked the premium ASUS ROG Ally as $699 is now saying the basic version will be $599. Something doesn't add up.

Asus ROG Ally - Z1, 16gb Ram, 256gb SSD = $599
Asus ROG Ally - Z1 Extreme, 16gb Ram, 512gb SSD = $699

So basically to get double the GPU power, 33% more CPU power and double the SSD storage is just an extra $100? Either one or both of those prices are wrong or that's the craziest tiered pricing I've ever seen. You'd be crazy to go for the $599 model.

Yes, this makes no sense at all. Leaks are wrong either on the smaller one price or the bigger model.

I would say that it would make sense for the bigger model to be priced higher too. Will see.

At the same time, if this ends up being true... This will kinda be like the Series S and X for 100$ difference. So maybe there is a market but if they can really ditch out the Extreme model at 699$, they have a deck killer in hands.
