The RoG Ally is highly anticipated and has a lot of interest from users. We have been able to carry out a review of the ASUS RoG Ally and we have been very pleasantly surprised.

One of the particularities of this console is that it includes RGB lighting and, in addition, it is white. This design is very elegant and contrasts sharply with Valve’s console, which is black and more austere. Without a doubt, these two aesthetic factors break with the trend of current portable consoles and attract attention.

It stands out from this RoG Ally that uses Windows 11 Home operating system. This allows us to use the console like a laptop without any problem. By having a USB-Cwe can install a hub that adds USB ports and video connectors such as HDMI and/or DisplayPort.

Through software ASUS Armory Crate we can customize the lighting and make adjustments. We can adjust the profiles of the processor, making it work at a higher or lower power, as necessary.
