Asus’ current entry-level ROG Xbox Ally pairs an AMD Ryzen Z2 A chip with 16 gigabytes of memory and a 512 gigabyte solid-state drive. (asus.com) On Asus’ U.S. spec page, that model is listed at $599.99 and runs Windows 11 Home on a 4-core, 8-thread Ryzen Z2 A processor with integrated Radeon graphics. (asus.com) The screen is a 7-inch full high-definition panel at 1,920 by 1,080 with a 120Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, 10-point touch support, and AMD FreeSync Premium to smooth motion. (asus.com) Those numbers put the base unit below Asus’ higher-end ROG Xbox Ally X, which uses an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor and 24 gigabytes of LPDDR5X memory on Asus’ current lineup page. (asus.com) TechRadar reported the white ROG Xbox Ally is aimed at 720p play, while the black Ally X is positioned for roughly 900p to 1080p gaming on the same 7-inch 120Hz display size. (techradar.com) That split helps explain the base model’s role: it is built for lighter PC handheld workloads, older games, and many indie titles rather than the highest settings in newer big-budget releases. (techradar.com) Asus also gives the base handheld a 60 watt-hour battery, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports, a UHS-II microSD card reader, Wi‑Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. (asus.com) The machine weighs 670 grams, or 1.48 pounds, and ships with a 65-watt USB-C power adapter, which keeps it closer to a small Windows PC than a stripped-down game console. (asus.com) TechRadar reported in 2025 that Microsoft announced the Xbox-branded Asus handhelds during the Xbox Games Showcase and later set their release date for October 16, 2025. (techradar.com) The result is a handheld with a fast screen and full Windows compatibility, but midrange silicon that asks buyers to trade peak performance for a lower price than the Ally X.
