Asus Rog

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has launched the much-anticipated ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM gaming monitor, boasting cutting-edge technology for immersive gaming experiences. With a 27-inch QHD OLED display, this monitor offers a blazing 240 Hz refresh rate and a rapid 0.03 ms (GTG) response time, setting new standards in competitive gaming visuals.

Asus ROG Ally X is confirmed to launch on June 2. The upcoming handheld gaming console will reportedly come with significant upgrades over its preceding model, the Asus ROG Ally, which was introduced last year. The new handheld is said to get a significantly larger battery. Now, key features of the Asus ROG Ally X including display, processor, and storage details, have surfaced online. The price of the purported gaming console has also been tipped.

Asus ROG Ally X is set to arrive next month as an incremental upgrade to the 2023 ROG Ally from the Taiwanese firm. It will arrive with noteworthy upgrades to some components on Asus' original handheld gaming console that made its debut last year, according to a report. The upcoming ROG Ally X will reportedly be equipped with the same 7-inch display and AMD processor found on the first-generation device, while offering more RAM and battery life, as well as support for larger storage upgrades.

Meta has announced that it is teaming up with Asus ROG and Lenovo to make new third-party VR gaming headsets that will run on the Meta VR ecosystem. The ecosystem itself is getting a refresh, as detailed by a lengthy blog post, and will now be known as Meta Horizon OS.

Asus ROG Ally owners should be aware that it looks like Windows 11’s latest cumulative update has been causing problems for the handheld, or at least reports indicate this is the case – not to mention AMD-powered gaming laptops, too.

The Asus ROG Ally is perfectly capable of running the latest and greatest games all by itself, but where's the fun in that. The USB-C port opens you up to a whole host of additional accessories and docking opportunities which means a full desktop style setup is just a few cables away. Of course, the perfect Asus ROG Ally setup is always going to be subjective - you might not even need a keyboard and mouse if you're going for a console style arrangement, and the full suite will be dependent on how often you take your PC on the road. However, if you're building a top of the range rig for one of the best gaming handhelds on the market, you're going to be splashing some cash. 

There are a lot of excellent gaming phones available in the market, and Asus is one brand that constantly delivers some really good stuff. The Asus ROG Phone 8 is going to go official next year with an updated design as well as specs, and now, the company has shared some more details about it, and well, you are looking at an impressive phone over all.

We're quickly approaching the end of the year, meaning plenty of deals are here for a limited time. Discounts are all over each retailer's website, with games, tech, and more receiving deep cuts. The best deals for December 27 include a Western Digital 2TB SSD, an ASUS ROG Strix monitor, the Logitech PRO X SUPERLIGHT mouse, GoPro Hero 11 Black camera, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and more.

The Asus ROG Ally Z1 just got its best discount yet, just in time for the festive season.

Asus ROG Phone 8 has been teased by the company, ahead of the launch of the company's next flagship phone aimed at gamers. The successor to the ROG Phone 7 is expected to make its debut soon, and the phone was recently spotted on a certification website, hinting at an imminent launch. Asus previously confirmed that the ROG Phone 8 will be powered by Qualcomm's latest flagship smartphone processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 that offers performance and efficiency improvements over last year's flagship chip.

If you're a gamer, then you certainly must have a gaming console or a PC that is equipped to handle graphic-intensive games. However, not everyone has the time to sit tethered to a TV all the time. While portable gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck do exist, they become yet another gadget that needs to be charged and carried around wherever you go. This is where mobile gaming comes in. Gaming smartphones not only fulfill the purpose of a smartphone such as calls and texts, but they are also powerful enough to run mobile games, allowing you to take a breather during the break while at work or even the airport. Whether you're on the train, flight or even passing time in the office, you can play a variety of games to pass the time.

ASUS's high-end ROG Zephyrus laptops with Intel's top Meteor Lake "Core Ultra" CPUs & NVIDIA's RTX 40 discrete GPUs have been spotted.

That's right, the Asus ROG Ally just got another price cut, and while I fully didn't expect this Cyber Monday deal, I'm pleased nonetheless. The new offer isn't as big a drop as the initial Black Friday discount, but it does knock it to a new record low and close the gap between the handheld gaming PC and Valve's Steam Deck. 

All customers can take advantage of this discount, but My Best Buy Plus/Total members get the best price.

Last week, the top end Asus ROG Ally received a hearty Black Friday discount, but some of you might not have spotted that the cheaper version has also dropped in price. For under $450, you can bag the AMD Ryzen Z1 version of the handheld PC, meaning it’s both less than most gaming laptops out there and the same price as the older reduced 512GB Steam Deck. Simply put, if you’re looking to play a chunk of your library on the go at 1080p, this deal is for you.

MSI Thin GF63 12VE | Core i5 12450H | RTX 4050 | 8GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | $899$599 at B&H Photo (save $300)This is a pretty basic gaming laptop, but at $600 you really can't complain. The RTX 4050 is only good for 1080p and it is limited to 45W of power, but you can use DLSS upscaling to boost frame rates. The amount of RAM is disappointing but the storage and screen are both a nice surprise for a gaming laptop this cheap.

Xbox has had a busy year which involved the release of Starfield and the finalization of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but several retailers have already begun rolling out some excellent deals worth checking out this weekend. For example, our top deal this weekend is the inaugural discount on the Asus ROG Ally, knocking $80 off the speedy handheld PC at Best Buy. Some other noteworthy deals include a pair of Humble bundles, a sizeable discount on the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, and some personal favorites from my board game library.

The Asus ROG Ally has taken its first price cut this week, well ahead of Black Friday's offers at the end of the month. The discount comes as part of Best Buy's early bird sale, and drops a full $80 off the price of the Z1 Extreme model. That's incredibly impressive - I was hoping for a saving on the handheld gaming PC in 2023 but thought it unlikely considering the market is still only just getting started. 

It has just been six months since the launch of the Asus ROG Phone 7 and the rumors about the 8th generation have already started taking a toll. Tisperts are claiming that the Asus ROG Phone 8 may be launched earlier than its predecessor and it might come with an upgraded processor. While the launch date has not been revealed, a teaser about the new Asus ROG smartphone has been shared on social media platforms. Know what the tipsters have to say.

Since Valve launched its Steam Deck in February of 2022, I've been a staunch supporter of both the platform as well as the need for more competition. Other devices have started to filter out to the public, from Aya Neo's powerful handhelds, to ASUS's ROG Ally device, to meaningfully challenge Steam's handheld.

ASUS continues to release some of the most well-thought-out licensed anime hardware, and the ongoing collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion has produced some of the coolest products on the market.

The ASUS ROG Ally hasn’t been out for long, and already the PC gaming handheld has proved to be tough competition for the Steam Deck, but its price point can be a sore spot for those wanting to make the jump to PC gaming on the go. The latest model of the ROG Ally, the ROG Ally Ryzen Z1 was recently released in an effort to create a budget-alternative for the gaming handheld, and now ASUS has provided a look at how this version stacks up against its more expensive variant.

ASUS has officially launched the world's fastest and most expensive GeForce RTX 4090 GPU in the form of its ROG MATRIX Platinum variant.

The cheaper edition of the Asus ROG Ally is now available, months after the handheld PC first became available. While Asus’ original $699.99 model might have been too pricey for some, this new $599.99 version is a more reasonably priced alternative to Valve’s popular Steam Deck. It’s available exclusively from Best Buy.

If you’ve been waiting for the Asus ROG Ally to get cheaper, you’re in luck, as there’s now a model that costs $100 less. The catch? Well, on paper, its iGPU packs less of a punch than the one within the Steam Deck, despite costing substantially more than Valve’s portable powerhouse. 

Months after releasing the Z1 Extreme ROG Ally, Asus has launched the Z1 at Best Buy.

Three months after the launch of the ASUS ROG Ally, a new model of the Steam Deck rival has arrived on the scene, boasting a more affordable MSRP. This new price has come at the cost of some specs, but the Asus ROG Ally is now officially cheaper than Steam Deck 512GB and could be more performant to boot.

Last week, I wrote about the ROG Strix Scar X3D: a gigantic, very expensive gaming laptop with off-the-charts benchmark scores. The X3D is a very exciting product in terms of what it represents for the laptop sphere but not something I necessarily see a whole bunch of people rushing to purchase.

The Asus ROG Ally is one of the most powerful handheld PCs currently available. But unlike the Steam Deck, there isn’t as robust of an accessory ecosystem for buyers. This makes sense, considering the Asus handheld has been available for less than a year, and has a significantly higher price point than Valve’s handheld.

The ASUS ROG PG32CDM seems like shoo-in for the best gaming monitor. Announced at Gamescom 2023, the ASUS ROG aims to be the world’s first 32-inch 4K OLED 240Hz display on the market, but we’ll be waiting a fair few months yet before we can get our hands on one.

ASUS raised the bar with the Azoth and has done it again. The ROG Strix Scope II 96 is a compact full-size mechanical keyboard with typing and gaming chops to spare. Built with brand new, pre-lubed mechanical switches, layers of sound dampening, high-speed wireless connectivity with mind-blowing battery life, and more, this is one of the best gaming keyboards available today.

ASUS's ROG Crosshair X670E GENE motherboard has now achieved a memory overclock of DDR5-9108, the highest so far on AMD's Ryzen 7000 platform.

AMD has just announced the world's first 3D V-Cache CPU for laptops, the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, which will offer up to 128 MB of cache.

India isn't seen as a huge market for handheld gaming consoles. Nintendo doesn't have an official presence here at all, Sony never really promoted the PS Vita, and there's no hope of the Steam Deck coming in anytime soon. There clearly is some demand, evidenced by the easy availability of grey-market Nintendo Switch units, online listings for niche Chinese manufacturers such as Ayaneo, and even small yet vocal crowds of retro console enthusiasts in forums online. However, they're a microscopic niche compared to smartphone gamers here, with PUBG/BGMI becoming a cultural phenomenon and even casual titles making enormous money. Over 500 million Indians are estimated to play games on their smartphones; double what the figure was just five years ago. That's incredible in terms of sheer market potential.

A new set of ASUS ROG components with stylings inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion are seemingly on the way. Whether you’re someone for a penchant for the best anime games, or want to showcase your love of your favorite Eva pilot (it’s Asuka, right?), it could be a perfect fit for neophyte and hardcore fans alike.

The Asus ROG Ally has once again made itself impossible to write about without also mentioning the Steam Deck. Its latest BIOS update - out now via the MyAsus app – includes a fix that allows the handheld Windows PC to correctly run in its fastest, power-hungriest Turbo mode when connected to sufficiently high-wattage, third-party docking stations and USB-C hubs. In other words, it now works with more of the best Steam Deck docks.
