ROG Ally X
Windows handheld with improved battery and 24GB RAM for better performance.
The ASUS ROG Ally X fixes the original Allys weaknesses while maintaining the flexibility of Windows gaming on the go.
24GB RAM is the key upgrade. It enables better performance in demanding games and smoother multitasking. The 1TB SSD provides ample storage for a large game library.
Battery life doubled to 12 hours thanks to the larger 80Wh battery. This makes it practical for extended gaming sessions or travel. The black chassis looks sleeker than the original white.
Windows 11 handles game compatibility better than ever. AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme delivers solid performance. The 7-inch 1080p120Hz display is sharp and smooth.
The controller layout is excellent with comfortable grips and well-placed buttons. The RGB lighting adds customization options.
At $699, it is pricier than Steam Deck OLED but offers more flexibility with Windows and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
