Leaked ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Ally X Prices Suggest Comparable Range to Existing Models — €599 and €899 Spotted in the EU

Alright, let’s dive right into this wild ride of gaming world gossip. So, apparently, Asus is cooking up something spicy with their new Xbox-branded handhelds — the ROG Xbox Ally and its snazzier sibling, the Ally X. Somebody over at 3D Juegos got a whiff of the prices, and I couldn’t believe it either; they’re talking about €599 for the basic Ally, which is like $700 if you’re doing the mental math on this—maybe give or take a coffee or two, you know how currencies dance around. Then, brace yourself: the Ally X could set you back €899, about $1,050-ish. Is it just me, or does gadget pricing always feel like more of a mystical guess than anything precise?

Anyway, Asus is throwing some serious tech goodness into these bad boys. The Ally X packs Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme — sounds like a futuristic race car, doesn’t it? — with its 8 cores and 24GB of memory speeding through its circuits. Meanwhile, the regular Ally? Not too shabby either, though its Ryzen Z2 A chip might remind me of a younger sibling trying to prove they can run just as fast. But hey, with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, it’s hardly sitting on the bench.

And the displays! Both rockin’ a 7-inch full-HD, 120Hz screen, giving your eyeballs a visual feast. If those extra haptic feedback triggers don’t make you feel like you’re dueling dragons or, I dunno, exploring uncharted planets, what even will? But let’s be real — I’m just as curious about how this thing sits in your hand. The ergonomics, supposedly Xbox-controller-like, sound promising but we’ll see if it actually feels comfortable or just kind of awkwardly cool. You know, sometimes looks deceive when your fingers are in play.

Oh, and did you hear Microsoft’s hopping in with an updated Xbox app? They’re pulling an all-in-one move, letting you snag games from all sorts of nooks and crannies across platforms. They’re hoping for a unified library, dream big, right? Imagine having your Battle.net, EA, and random off-the-wall indie games all chatting in one place. It’s a game-hoarder’s paradise — or maybe I’m just projecting.

So, Asus hasn’t spilled the official tea yet — region pricing might do its own wild dance thanks to mysterious market forces and taxes that tend to sneak up on ya. But this unofficial peek into their plans? Oh boy, it’s kind of like catching a glimpse of the season finale script. Or maybe it’s just the trailer before the actual movie that ends up surprising us all.

If you’re all curious and geeky like me, Tom’s Hardware is promising to keep us in the loop, so maybe hit follow if you live for the latest tech tidbits. Who knows? These handhelds might totally shake up the gaming universe or just give us one more flashy piece of tech to ogle. So, fingers crossed for a plot twist we didn’t see coming.
