Asus said it will have "around the same battery life at 15W as Steam Deck". At 30W, you're probably looking at roughly 1hr..It's kinda worrisome that they aren't allowed to speak on the battery. It doesn't instill confidence regarding how much juice this thing actually has.
Allegedly somebody captured a screenshot of the listing on BestBuy that accidently went live. Still not technically official since it would be easy to photoshop.yes I’m aware that’s what the leak from that twitter user Snoopy Tech claims which then the Verge and others have since reported on but why are people acting like that’s confirmed and not just a rumor? what kind of history does this Snoopy Tech have for previous leaks being correct?

$700 is a good price for this hardware. Before we knew about the Z1 lesser SKU, I was thinking the Z1 extreme would come in around $800-1000 depending on the storage option(i.e.-256GB or 1TB). This means the roughly Steam Deck level Z1(but with better CPU) should roll in at $500.
This is $100 less than the AOKZOE A1 Pro that will come with a similar chip, the 7840U. The advantage the Ally has over the Chinese competitors is that not only is it more affordable, but it's available via BestBuy from a reputable hardware company like Asus. This is means reliable warranty and support.
