Guess again. The higher-end Asus ROG Ally will apparently cost just $699.99. That's for the model with an AMD Z1 Extreme chip, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD - meaning that Asus' 512GB handheld costs just $51 more than a 512GB Steam Deck.

The data we've seen leaves little room for confusion - even the product number associated with the $699.99 gadget identifies it as the Z1 Extreme model with 512GB of storage, and we've got a long list...
