The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that the Asus ROG Ally is one of the best handheld gaming PCs available today. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence or data provided in the article. The only specific model mentioned as being better than other alternatives (the Z1 Extreme) has already been released and may no longer be relevant to current market conditions.

However, this claim is not backed up by any concrete information or specifications about what this device will look like or when it will be released.
