Rog Ally: South African Pricing Announced for Asus’ Handheld Gaming Device

Asus has confirmed the South African pricing for its ROG Ally, the handheld and portable gaming device which runs Windows 11.

Asus South Africa revealed that the retail price for the ROG Ally is R15,999, and will be available on 15 June 2023. Gamers can also pre-order in South Africa from Asus and Makro.

The ROG Ally is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z1 series processor, 16GBs of LPDDR5 RAM, RDNA 3 graphics, and comes in two variants: 256GBs and 512GBs. It features a 7-inch, 1920×1080 IPS LCD display with 120 Hz, weighs in at 608 grams, and includes an ergonomic design.

The Ally also houses ROG’s Zero Gravity thermal system, which uses a dual-fan system with ultra-thin heatsink fins and high-friction heat pipes to ensure the Ally stays cool in any orientation.

The ROG Ally runs Windows 11, meaning gamers can access all of their publisher libraries and game streaming services on a single device, so you’ll be able to Xbox GamePass, Steam, EA Play and others.

The Ally was designed with comfortable ergonomics in mind and features grabbable handgrips with unique triangle texturing on the rear to give gamers a solid hold on the machine from any angle. ROG styling lines adorn the palm side of the grip while also helping to reduce any accidental slipping.

Additionally, a Special Edition of Armoury Crate makes its debut with the ROG Ally, customized with quick performance mode toggles, a game launcher, in-game monitoring software, Aura Sync support, and more. ROG is also offering a bundled 90-day trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, giving users instant access to hundreds of great games from Xbox Game Studios, indie studios, and blockbusters the moment they boot their Ally.
