Easy to install NVNM memory and its full size. Not to mention the increase from 512g to 1TB. Massive increase in Ram and the speed of ram is on par with Legion Go. You will see increase in FPS in some games. Not to mention overall increase in windows performance. The battery is now 80 watts, meaning twice the power. So double the gaming time on the go. They are saying 3 hours of heavy gaming now. There is a slight increase in size due to this. The buttons and joy sticks are better as well. Sd card slot moved to a different spot and overall better thermals. If you are looking for a new device and don't have an old Ally. This would be the one to get. If you can return or sell at a decent price the og Ally I would consider this. They fixed a lot of the issues the og faced.

Hands down the best handheld gaming PC
Best handheld pc you can buy right now. Screen is nice and bright with decent color accuracy. The sound has been upgraded over the original. Ergonomics are greatly improved and the device feels great in my hands even during long gaming sessions. The extra ram at higher frequency allows you to play current triple A titles at low-medium settings at 720-900p resolution and get 30-60fps. The triggers and buttons feel better compared to the original rog ally, dpad is improved as well. The sd card issues are fixed with the move, the extra usb port is nice addition as well. Double the storage as well, I’ve currently got 22 titles downloaded to mine. Device is mostly quiet even under load, they can get a bit loud under heavy loads but that can be fixed and rarely happens to me. Finally the biggest improvement for a handheld system, the bigger battery and the improved battery performance. I’ve gotten 2-3 hours playing triple A titles and 4-5 playing smaller indie titles. All around a great iteration of the Rog ally and worth the purchase.

Not sure why this is getting review bombed.
I’m loving this thing. This is my first handheld, aside from little trials on my son’s Nintendo Switch. Anyways! As an avid PC gamer I was really looking for something to bring on-the-go, like on family trips and such, and a laptop would still be too much. This thing fits the bill perfectly. Performance-wise, I couldn’t ask for anything better in such a device. Coming from a PC with a 12700k, 32GB’s of RAM, and a 3060ti, all on a QHD screen, I actually think cyberpunk looks and runs better on this lol. Aesthetically, this Ally is gorgeous. The lights are on point, and the black is sweet. I was worried about the previous white ones getting too dirty. Mechanically speaking, everything seems in order. The sticks feel wonderful, with a little concave indent to keep your thumbs in. The triggers are fast but not that super-light loose fast or anything like that. The screen is amazing. I almost thought it was an OLED with how vibrant the colors and everything are. Moving the mouse around with a thumb stick is super fun for some reason, and super smooth too. Battery life seems good(I know a lot of people talked about how the previous allies had a terrible battery), and temps seem ok too. Can’t ask for perfection in these types of things, like a laptop. All in all, I love it. Here’s the ONE reason I dropped a star: finding compatible games. This was a hard start. Jedi survivor works, but graphically it’s a bit rough. Cyberpunk looks great and runs smooth, controls all work. Both SWKOTOR games don’t work very well control-wise. The new SW Bounty Hunter runs great, but the horizontal camera movement stutters. The Robin Hood game on game pass works, but the controls like to bobble around so that was a no go. Still gonna be trying other games soon.

The perfect gaming handheld powerhouse
If your looking to game on the go, with little compromises in both battery life or performance then the ROG Ally X is the definitive the one to go for. This is from someone coming from owning and using a Steam Deck previously. It’s amazing the amount of games that are playable on this handheld with amazing battery life. I’m talking running Forza 5 with medium settings and playing for roughly 3 hours. While it isn’t as economically pleasing as the Steam Deck, it is still rather comfortable to hold and doesn’t have any issues like the legion go of weight or sharp edges. Meaning you can play for quite a while without any pain or soreness in your hands or simply feeling uncomfortable holding it. Then there is the fact that for storage it uses the standard 2280 NVME SSD, so upgrading the storage is something bigger is not only easier but cheaper as well. While I did only go up to a 4tb you could also put up to 8tb of storage! The biggest selling point for me, and what made me switch from the Steamdeck is the fact that I can dual-boot from BazziteOS (basically SteamOS on the ROG Ally) to Windows. As yes, windows is still windows and not the greatest when it comes to handheld controls without a keyboard and mouse. So I was able to get the best of both worlds. A console like experience that I’m use to with the Steamdeck, and the comparability of Windows for games that need it/run better on windows. Overall, if you’re looking for the top of the line handheld, this is it.
