Asus ROG Xbox Ally review: The cheapest Windows handheld gets points for showing up

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is a Windows-based handheld priced at $599.

It weighs 1.48 pounds (670 g) and its design is effectively identical to the Ally X.

The Ally X weighs 1.58 pounds (715 g) and comes in black; the cheaper Ally is white.

The controller layout closely mirrors an Xbox controller, with matching colored buttons and RGB lights.

The Steam Deck OLED is a $549 price leader and has been mostly out of stock due to component shortages.
