ROG Ally lands 2024 Computex Best Choice Award
With so many gaming handhelds coming out this year, it’s really no surprise to see not one but two gaming handhelds in the best choice awards. The other handheld console that received the BC award was the Claw – which seems strange after it recieved quite a lot of bad press – especially from reviewers.
Regardless, we’re right behind the award for the ASUS ROG Ally, with the winning reason notes stating: “ASUS’s ROG Ally high-performance handheld gaming device comes packed with features, a custom high-performance AMD processor, and graphics chip. Running on Windows, it gives the player access to all of 3A’s masterpieces anytime, anywhere.“. The notes go on to state how it can toggle the front-end game launcher or adjust device settings, but for me, it won its award based on its power and versatility – showcased recently in its ability to run some games better than the Steam Deck.
Despite this being a worthy winner, it seems a little strange to give it a best choice award when the new Rog Ally X is set to receive its launch event on June 2nd – or maybe that’s just me.
Regardless, it’s a great sign for gaming handheld consoles and its even better for ASUS – with the ROG Ally X likely benefitting from this award.
