It's a big day for ASUS. Its brand-new handheld PC gaming console, the ROG Ally, has officially launched with a confirmed set of specifications (although we may have already known a bunch of these, thanks to some less-than-discreet retailers.) Coming up in a battle versus Valve's Steam Deck will be tricky, but it feels more realistic than any of the no-name brand attempts from the past year or so.
There's only one genuine concern I can't shake off after browsing the full ROG Ally specs: the battery capacity. We already knew about a few components lurking under the hood of this impressive portable console, like its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU pushing for a jaw-dropping 8-core, 16-thread combination of processing power. Still, prospective battery life remained a mystery, at least until today.
