The ASUS ROGAlly Handheld Console May Actually Be The Real Deal
Then there are the details that are being shared in the teaser video. The ROG Ally apparently uses a custom APU, made in collaboration between ASUS and AMD. This isn’t something that just any company can simply brag about, even as a joke. Therefore, this does lend some level of credibility. The specs of the APU, however, are never revealed within the video.
Then there’s the method in which the ROG Ally will allegedly run all your PC games – it uses ASUS’ own Armoury Crate app, which is technically proprietary to the company. Of course, one of the major highlights of the handheld console is that, like the Flow series laptops, the Taiwan-based brand appears to have made it so that the console is able to connect to the ROG XG Mobile eGPU, opening up the world of multiplayer on your living room TV.
As with all April Fool’s jokes, it goes without saying that any “product” announcements made on the day should be taken both in jest and boisterous laughter. As to why we believe that we don’t think that the ROG Ally is a joke product, there are a handful of reasons for it. First, it’s a handheld gaming console. After the launch of the Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck years after, the concept of a portable gaming machine with PC-level graphics is undeniably more mainstream than before. The second is the mention of the custom APU and the fact that it runs Windows OS. You’ll note that the revelation of the APU was not followed up with some unbelievable specs.
Lastly, and this part is really just hearsay at this point, we had heard whispers prior to the ROG Ally video that ASUS was allegedly working on some handheld console. So, in all seriousness, releasing this ROG Ally video on April Fool’s Day raises two possibilities: Either this is a fake product and ASUS is never, ever going to release it, or the brand purposely released it on that day, in order to throw us off-guard and off its scent. If it is the latter, then it’s working.
