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.”

Asus Rog Ally X

 

I still can't stand Windows on a handheld gaming console. But if you can, the ROG Ally X is leagues better than its predecessor.

Double the battery of the ROG Ally, so you can actually play for a few hours without a charger. Twice the storage, and 8 GB more RAM. 1,080-pixel display still looks great, and 120-Hz refresh rate makes for smooth gameplay.

Windows. It's always Windows. Some UI jank simply can't be avoided. Way more expensive than the Steam Deck.

Asus ROG Ally X review: It’s a perfect mid-cycle refresh — but maybe only for diehard gamers

 

X-ing out its predecessor's flaws, the Ally X offers performance upgrades gamers will love.

Ergonomically fantastic ; Solid gaming performance ; Excellent battery life ; 24GB of RAM ; Thunderbolt 4

D-pad too close to the screen ; The price relative to performance improvements may only appeal to dedicated gaming enthusiasts

The Asus ROG Ally X is exactly what it should be: A fantastic mid-cycle refresh that improves what’s already there while maintaining a competitive price point.

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...

Asus ROG Ally X Review: You’ve Got a Friend in Me

 

The $800 Asus ROG Ally X is one of the most expensive gaming handhelds. It's also one of the best you can buy right now.

A comfortable design with several notable improvements to sticks and triggers ; Performance better than the original Ally and other handhelds ; A battery that can go for close to three hours on some intensive games

Screen isn't as good as the competition ; Windows 11 is terrible in handheld format ; One of the most expensive handheld PCs available

Asus ROG Ally X The redesigned ROG Ally is a better console in almost every way that matters. It's only held back by its high price and Windows 11.

Asus ROG Ally X review — here’s why it’s the best Windows gaming handheld

 

The only problem is Windows itself

Improved performance ; Vastly improved ergonomics ; Much better battery life ; Armoury Crate is getting better as an overlay…

…but Windows 11 is the enemy of handheld gaming ; Give us OLED ; Expensive at $800

For a minor upgrade, the Asus ROG Ally X’s small tweaks feel like more of a major update — fixing our biggest gripes with the first generation Ally. Now if only we can get a version of Windows 11 that is actually useful on a gaming handheld.

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...
