A Google search preview from the official Barcelona Asus store “Asus by MacMan” has accidentally revealed what many feared: the ROG Xbox Ally X will retail for €899, while the standard model sits at €599.
Not sure how this would translate to USD 1000 to be honest. Prices in euro usually include taxes, which is what, 21% in Spain? So minus taxes the 599,-€ model would translate to about $550 (taxes not included).
This still doesn't undercut the Steam Deck which I feel it should do considering it's likely using the same APU and the Deck is a couple years old at this point, but it's not as bad as the headline/article makes it sound.
- Yea ally things considered, I think the device is reasonably priced for what it is. The Deck was exceptionally cheap on launch so I don't think it's a fair comparison. The specs of the Deck weren't really mind blowing either when it came out, what made it great was the package as a whole and for the price, it did great. The specs of this device is already way beyond what the Deck has even accounting for the 3 year gap.
  People just seem be hating on it because it's Microsoft or that they're expecting console pricing for a PC.
