The mid-generation Asus ROG Ally X comes closer than any other to delivering the ultimate handheld console experience.
Impressive battery life ; Great performance, especially in Turbo mode ; Small, but significant, improvements to overall design
Still an IPS LCD display ; No trackpad
The Asus ROG Ally X not only fixes big complaints with the original Ally, but propels it to the top of the handheld gaming console pack with a serious boost to battery life, plenty of storage and RAM and top-end performance.

Asus' new gaming handheld is certainly powerful
Powerful ; Improved battery life ; Solid design
Very expensive ; Can't compete with gaming laptops of the same price ; Windows 11 continues to hobble handhelds
The Asus ROG Ally X is one of the most powerful gaming handhelds yet, and puts the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch to shame performance-wise. However, you're paying for this extra firepower with a hefty price tag, and Windows 11 remains frustrating to...

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has given me a level of cost-effective gaming freedom I didn't expect.

As far as protecting your ROG Ally X goes, dbrand's Killswitch case is by far the best out there.
As far as ROG Ally X cases go, dbrand's Killswitch can't be beat. It offers a ton of protection alongside a travel cover, kickstand, and front skin.

Steam ris one of the best current gaming platforms out there.

As long as the game you're playing supports the feature, FSR feels like the ultimate cheat code.

It's not quite an Ally 2 - but the Asus ROG Ally X is the next best thing, with significant internal and ergonomic upgrades
A powerful gaming machine with quiet, effective cooling ; Considerably better battery life than the original Ally ; Ergonomics a welcome improvement
Windows still a weak link ; Still no OLED screen
A mid-life update that addresses pretty much every major complaint about the original. The Asus ROG Ally X still isn’t the perfect gaming handheld, but it’s the best that runs Windows.
Expert review by : Andrew E. Freedman (tomshardware.co.uk)
An improvement over the original in almost every way.
24GB of RAM improves performance ; Higher power profiles than original ROG Ally ; Bright, colorful display ; Better build quality and comfort than original ; Longer battery life than its predecessor
$799 is pricey for a gaming handheld ; Windows 11 isn't built for this ; Armoury Crate still has a few bugs
The Asus ROG Ally X is the best Windows gaming handheld out there right now, with a big battery, solid ergonomics, and lots of RAM to help boost performance. But Windows still isn't perfect, and $799.99 is a lot to ask, especially when the Steam Deck...

The S$1,199 ROG Ally X costs more than before but more memory, storage, and battery, and better overall ergonomics make up for the premium.
Expert review by : Jacob Roach (digitaltrends.com)
The ROG Ally X is a massive improvement over the original, even if its price tag is a bit hard to swallow given the competition.
Small performance boosts in some games ; Redesigned Armoury Crate software ; Much more comfortable ; Longer battery life
MicroSD card concerns ; Windows quirks remain
“The Asus ROG Ally X improves on nearly every aspect of the original.”
