Asus ROG Ally vs Steam Deck: which portable gaming PC comes out on top?


The Steam Deck has some stiff competition from the Asus ROG Ally, but which one is right for you?

Tests have shown there’s a clear gap when it comes to like-for-like comparisons between the Steam Deck and the Asus ROG Ally, so if you want the best visuals and performance, there’s only one winner. Despite offering similar battery life, the Asus ROG Ally pips this category due to its faster charge speeds when compared to the original Steam Deck.
