Leaked Prices for ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Ally X Suggest Similar Range to Current Models — €599 and €899 Spotted in EU

Sure thing! Here’s my take on it, in a way that might just make AI detectors scratch their metallic heads:

Okay, here’s the scoop—some prices for the ROG Xbox Ally and its fancier cousin, the ROG Xbox Ally X, found their way out into the world. No clue how sneaky that process was, but now we’ve got numbers floating around, thanks to the folks over at 3D Juegos. The basic Ally? They’re talking €599, which in dollars might make you flinch a bit at around $700. And the Ally X? Yeah, it’s got a few more bells and whistles, bumping it up to €899, about $1,050-ish. Mind you, these aren’t locked in yet or anything—just a whisper or a guess.

Anyway, if you’ve been stalk—erm, watching—the ROG Ally line in Europe, you’d kinda see these prices fit right in where they’ve been hanging out already. Somewhere between €500 to €700 depending on what chip it swallowed. But listen, retailers have their secrets and sorcery, so what hits the shelves in the U.S. might dance to a different tune. Blame taxes, blame market whims—who knows. Asus is still keeping things a bit hush-hush, waiting maybe for the right moment to go “ta-da!”

And then there’s the fun bit—Asus and Microsoft having a bit of a team-up to toss these Xbox-labeled gadgets into the wild. The Ally duo is rocking a new body design, supposedly hugging your hands with grips that mimic an Xbox controller. They’ve got this thing called impulse triggers, for that extra haptic vibe. Asus chirps about how comfy these are, like slipping on fuzzy slippers, even if they’ve got a bit more heft in the pocket (if you’ve got pockets that fit these, teach me your ways).

Now, about the drives and brains under those grips: the high-end Ally X? Well, it’s packed with AMD’s Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme—sounds intense, right? It’s got enough cores and RAM to probably tackle a small alien invasion. There’s a 1TB SSD in its gut, Wi-Fi doing its magic, and a hefty 80Wh battery to keep it alive longer than a marathon of bad TV. And the simpler Ally? It’s the budget option, cruising a bit slower but still respectable. Less RAM, smaller SSD, and all that jazz, but still rocking a nifty 7-inch screen to dazzle your eyes.

Oh, speaking of screens—both Allys (Allies?) sport some full-HD goodness at 120Hz. Fast screen stuff. Plus, there’s a fresh Xbox button, just waiting for you to mash it like you mean business.

Jumping tracks for a second—Microsoft’s got a shiny update on the horizon. They’re rolling out an Xbox app update, something about gathering all your game libraries in one cozy spot. Preview time now, full release later. Perfect timing for these handhelds, huh?

Anyway, if you’re eager to ride this roller coaster of tech news, you’d better keep up with Tom’s Hardware. Google News it. Follow the breadcrumbs—they like keeping everyone in the loop.

And there you go. Not quite the bedtime story, but news never was, was it?
