Asus ROG Xbox Ally falls to a record-low price, but is it worth picking up while the Steam Deck suffers stock shortages? You should probably buy that handheld gaming device you've been eyeing, now MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ with Intel Arc G3 Extreme inside revealed at Computex 2026

The X20 possibly features one of the best displays in terms of brightness, with 1,400-nit peak HDR brightness, 0.2ms response time, and a VESA
DisplayHDR 1000 rating. Combined with an anti-reflective coating, which reduces glare by 65%, gaming is made much easier when in bright environments. Comment from r/Handhelds (Image credit: Asus) Essentially, it sounds like
Asus has landed a winner with this handheld, particularly in its specifications, and it has, unsurprisingly, left some consumers excited.

As noted on Reddit , with one user stating it's "almost the perfect handheld for many". However, there is one question among consumers that Asus hasn't answered yet: the ROG Xbox Ally X20's price.

The newly announced MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ , using Intel 's Arc G3 Extreme processor, is reportedly starting at $1,500 (around 1,120 / AU$2,100), but
MSI has yet to confirm this. If the purported price is legitimate, it will effectively spoil any form of excitement built around the device ahead of its eventual launch, and the ROG Xbox Ally X20 could be placed in the same expensive category.

It's also worth noting that the XReal R1 Edition 20 gaming AR glasses already cost $849 / 749 / around AU$1,799 individually, so that likely pushes the bundle's price at or just under $2,000.

Prices for consoles, desktop PC components, and handhelds have skyrocketed to unaffordable levels in 2026 due to the RAM crisis, and the more feature-rich
a handheld device sounds coming out of Computex 2026, the more expensive it will be and the OLED addition for the Ally X20 sounds like the perfect case for a high price. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
