Q: QuestionSo is this just a better version of the other rog?(10 answers)
A: Answeryes, there are some real benefits to consider. Now you have two USB's, one being USB4. That means any E-GPU will work. Saves a ton of money with an increase of performance in that regard. 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.Answered by Branimal

- A: AnswerYou can trade it in for a credit. But you can't get full retail for what you paid. If you have the extreme version it's like 180.00 trade credit.
Answered by Great
- A: AnswerAny game that doesn't require an online connection will play just fine with no internet. Think... Windows 11 gaming laptop... everything you can do on that, you can do on this device, it's basically a gaming computer but in a hand held form factor.
Answered by drumnbass
- A: AnswerYou can download and play any game that you would on a gaming PC. You can use steam, gog, epic games etc. So pretty much anything you can run on a windows computer , you can run on the ROG Ally X.
Answered by GalaxyTechReview
- A: AnswerI would reach out to the manufacture. The system comes with a one year warranty. The first thing I would check is to make sure windows is up to date and and your hardware drivers and firmware are the latest. Depending on the game you may need to reduce the graphics settings of the game in order to play. I had the same problem with CyberPunk.
Answered by Mike
- A: AnswerIf you set it to max the charge out at 80%, then you will have no issue with keeping it plugged in all the time, my Z1 Extreme Ally has no issues with this.

Best handheld Gaming Pc!
The Rog ally is an amazing gaming device. The Rog X is even better. Everything is upgraded except for the screen, that’s the same. The audio, buttons, ram, battery, internal storage, and ergonomics are better. The only thing I don’t like are the back m1 and m2 buttons. I prefer the original ally m1 and m2 buttons more but over all it’s a great portable gaming pc. it’s probably the best one on the market. If you already have an ally I don’t think it’s worth it to upgrade unless you just have money to spend like that, but If you don’t have one definitely pick this one up.

I'd recommend if you have the $$$
As someone who's always been a console gamer (mainly Xbox and PlayStation), and with my only handheld experience being the Nintendo Switch, I was pretty skeptical about diving into PC gaming with the ROG Ally X. However, after about a month of using it, I have to say I'm impressed—especially with how well it runs AAA games like Elden Ring. Playing with friends online has been an amazing experience, and once you get used to using Windows for gaming, it's not as daunting as it seems. That said, there are a few issues I feel are worth mentioning: Price Point: I wouldn't recommend this for the current price, especially if you're not planning to stick to AAA titles. In my opinion, you'd be better off going with an older model if you want to save some cash. Open-Box Warning: I was fortunate enough to buy this open-box from BestBuy at a discounted price, but here's a heads-up: BestBuy does NOT test their open-box products. Mine arrived with a pretty serious issue—it wouldn't hold a charge and shut down every time I unplugged it. I nearly returned it, but decided to check the internals first. Turns out, the clip connecting the power supply wasn't even plugged in, and one side of it looks broken, which probably caused it to come loose. After plugging it back in, everything seems to be working now, but it was a stressful experience. Quality Control Issues: Speaking of issues, Asus's quality control is a bit concerning. The console itself feels premium in some ways, but also surprisingly cheap in others. The horror stories you hear about defective units? I believe them now. So, buy at your own risk. Ergonomics: For me, the console is uncomfortable to hold for extended periods. My wrists start to hurt after about an hour, and the lack of a grip makes it easy for the console to slip out of my hands—especially when they get sweaty. This is a big drawback compared to traditional controllers. Button Feel: While most of the buttons, triggers, and analog sticks are fine, I'm not a fan of the face buttons. They feel a bit "mushy" when pressed. Maybe I'm just too used to the feel of the PS5 controller. In hindsight, I think I would have opted for the older model of the ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme chip, especially if I could find it open-box or used. Alternatively, I'd wait for the SteamDeck 2, as Valve seems to have better quality control and their console is reportedly more comfortable to hold. Overall, while the ROG Ally X has its strengths, it's not without its flaws. It’s a good choice if you’re focused on AAA gaming and don't own a gaming PC, but there are definitely some trade-offs to consider.

You wont be disappointed.
I havent found a flaw with this device that i found with is predecessor and its competitor the steam deck. I owned both previous. I sold them as one left performance to be desired and the ally 2023 the performance was there but not the battery life and it being a handheld it made no sense for me to take it with me without battery banks and chargers to get only about 40 minutes of battery life with AAA games. So i returned it to best buy. This is exactly what i was looking for a year ago and im not disappointed. I now have 24gb of ram and the cpu and gpu have been optimized. With custom settings and amd afmf 2 drivers or using lossless frames app i get great frames if i need it. Games run great. It beats any other device when it comes to ps3 and xbox 360 emulation. Indie games just run forever on this device. I have been impressed so far.
