$2K should be nothing to you with all of your race cars and your friends with Lotus's. What are ya some kind of cheap skate or another "top gamer?" hmmmm

a/w a one thousand Gig drive for $2K and a terrabyte for $400. What's up with that? Sounds confusing since a terrabyte has slightly more data storage capab., huh? Wonder if MS will offer this as an add-on for the Super3L33T? J/K cheers

ITR6230d ago

No, I just change jobs.
My old job gave me high BP.

Even if I was still making a $100k a yr I doubt I would buy that for $2k.

ChickeyCantor6230d ago

what happend to the word Terabyte or is that way to much future-talk?

sandip7876230d ago

or is it a hard drive for pcs? if its for tvs, it explains the price diff between 1000 gig and 1 terrabyte hdd

Is it running the same Windows OS? Because that is the biggest issue with the current Ally.

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits16d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy0116d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

mrcatastropheAF13d ago

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Killa7814d ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS14d ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird36014d ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor14d ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin13d ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka14d ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
