ROG Ally mod adds an extra touchscreen for more Windows real estate and works as a handy stand

Two images of a custom-built external monitor mod for the Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming PC.

Handheld gaming PCs are loved by many of us in the PC Gamer hardware office and I especially like the Asus ROG Ally. The only thing I wished it had was a bigger screen, as the 7-inch 1080p panel limits how much you can do in Windows. One creative modder has solved that problem by making a clamshell attachment for an extra touchscreen, doubling the Ally's amount of screen space.

Using a combination of off-the-shelf parts and 3D printed items designed by herself, modder Kira Patel (via Hot Hardware) has developed an ingenious solution to the ROG Ally's relative lack of display size. The extra screen is just a cheap portable 7-inch 1024x600 IPS panel that's normally designed to be used with the likes of a Raspberry Pi.
