The Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming PC announced on April 1 is a genuine product with a powerful custom AMD APU that can run AAA PC titles on the go.

Probably $1000 tho. Not sure why theyre so secretive with that and the specs.

I was confused why neither of the two YouTubers mentioned cost. But it's probably like you said it even more. The steam deck is a great handheld as it does the job for a good gamble of a price. Would I pay 1000+ for the same thing? Probably not, I'd wait it out.

And this is the reason why the Steam Deck is dominating the portable pc's in sales.

Implied they are targeting $400.

That would be pretty insane if they do. But I would be skeptical. As they wouldn't make much profit on software sales unless they use their own store. The steam deck doesn't make Valve money on the hardware, so I do not see Asus selling it for a low price. But there is hope.

The link you sent me the youtuber says "you can't match the $400 bucks the steam deck sells for." Then he goes on to suggest he feels $600 would be ideal.

But asus' words are "very competitive" but what with? Against the steam deck or against other gaming laptops/hand held that are $800+?

At the moment it's too g to be a bait and switch. Get the hype in and drop a $899 price tag.

400 dollars, yeah no chance with what they're offering. Even Valve said the pricing on the Deck was "painful" implying they may not even be breaking even on the Deck but relying on Steam game sales.

It looks cool.

What a time to be a gamer and we're just getting started with these incredible APUs.

[gold_drake]

this looks amazing
if its a real thi g and not all too expensive, i actually might get this.

but .. you know, it might be a pricey product.

[repsahj]

I'm also excited too man, but knowing Asus and their products? This will be pricey. My guess will be around $1200-$1500.
