Asus ROG Ally X Review

 

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 ROG Ally X review: great hardware, held back by Windows 11

 

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...

How I saved $150 this month on games for my ROG Ally X

 

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

This $95 ROG Ally X accessory is expensive, but I promise it's worth it

 

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.

I never pay full price for games on my ROG Ally X with this app

 

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

The ROG Ally X's best feature will blow your mind (if you actually use it)

 

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

Asus ROG Ally X review: fan feedback has gone a long way

 

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.

Asus ROG Ally X review: the best Windows gaming handheld, for a big price

 

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...

ROG Ally X review: Useful upgrades along with price increase - Techgoondu

 

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.

Asus ROG Ally X review: better in every way | Digital Trends

 

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.”
