This is genuinely the most lust-worthy product on our test bench this year. The Asus ROG Ally is, in equal measure, a fantastic handheld gaming PC and an aspirational device. Like the early days of VR gaming, the PC handheld is trying to shimmy another category in the gaming segment. The Dell Alienware Concept UFO sparked the idea and the Steam Deck executed it. There’s a sense of hesitation from every brand to gauge the interest of such a category. The tech and research on it cannot be tossed into industrial use if consumers turn the other way (case and point: VR headsets). So as risky as it is, Asus ROG has managed to finally make a gaming handheld and launch it officially in India with a warranty and all.
