Asus has at last launched the ROG 100W Gaming Charger Dock, which is among the final accessories revealed with the ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally (currently priced at $599 on Amazon). To recap, the company introduced its new versatile dock back in August, along with the ROG Xbox Ally (2-in-1) Premium Case.
Updates from Previous Model
In summary, the new 100 W version improves on its 65 W predecessor in a couple of key ways. True to its name, the ROG 100W Gaming Charger Dock is capable of charging a device at a maximum of 100 W through USB Type-C at 20V/5A or using Programmable Power Supply (PPS) fast charging. Interestingly, Asus has not indicated any support for PPS in the earlier ROG Gaming Charger Dock.
Additional Features
Additionally, the ROG 100W Gaming Charger Dock features an extra USB 2.0 Type-A port. Both Type-A ports can reach a maximum of 5 W (5V/1A), allowing for a combined output of 110 W when all USB ports are in use, as per Asus’ technical details. Sadly, it still has an HDMI 2.0 port that supports up to 4K/60 Hz or 1080p/120 Hz gaming.
Changes in Accessories
Furthermore, Asus has reduced the length of the included USB Type-C cable from 200 cm to 150 cm for this generation. The retail price for the ROG 100W Gaming Charger Dock stands at $99.99 in the United States, although Best Buy is the only retailer stocking the charger at this time. Presently, availability in other markets is marked as ‘coming soon’.
