Officially announced during last Sunday’s Xbox ShowCase, the Rog Abox Ally arrives with the promise of offering the best gaming experience for a Windows -based laptop. However, it has drawn attention to the fact that None of the models announced by Asus has OLED screenswhich became common on top of the line devices.
According to Whitson Gordon, senior marketing content manager of the company, the reasons for this absence are technical and financial. In a transmission made by Youtube, the executive explained that type displays end up consuming too much energy when combined with varied update rates (VRR).
“We did some research and developments and prototypes with OLED, but it is not yet where we want when you consider VRR in the mixture”Explained Gordon. According to him, if VRR was not present at Xbox Rog Ally, his screen could not be considered worthy of being optimized for games.
“This is a mandatory feature, and OLED with VRR at the moment requires significantly greater power than the LCD we are currently using at Ally, and costs more”, Continued. Given the portability of the device, energy consumption was eventually decisive for the technologies that Asus decided to use in the final version.
Price also affected the characteristics of Rog Xbox Ally
Gordon also explained that the cost associated with the adoption of an OLED panel had great impact on the characteristics of Xbox Rog Ally. During the broadcast, he stated that Asus knows well which price range are considered acceptable to consumers and the reasons why they resort to the competition.
“It is very clear what are the price ranges between which people are willing to buy such a device, because we will remember, it is a secondary device for many people”He justified. Thus, the company avoided adding to the laptop characteristics that are not 100% necessary, but would make it cost” an arm and one leg. “
“Add 32 GB, OLED, Z2 Extreme, and all these extra ornaments would cost much more than the price range you are used to”He continued.“And the vast majority of users are not willing to pay for this type of price”. So far, however, Asus has not revealed how much will be charged by the devices.
Still programmed for 2025, the Rog Xbox Ally will arrive in two versions that share The same 7 -inch LCD IPS display with 120 Hz maximum update rate. The difference between the models will be in issues such as ram and their base hardware:
