Customers often highlight the ROG Ally X's overall performance, improved battery life, and ideal balance of portability and power as key strengths. The device also receives positive feedback for its screen quality, game compatibility, storage capacity, ample RAM, efficient heat dissipation, and acceptable noise levels. While the device is considered a bit heavy, the primary concern appears to be the user experience with the operating system.

    Great specs, screen, and build quality. Once you get passed the windows setup its nevsr been easier to play on gamepass or steam with a single device. Onky wish the screen was a bit bigger and the ergos were more aligned with the steam deck

    Simply the top-of-the-line gaming handheld out there. If you want more performance and juice then the SteamDeck OLED and don't mind the IPS VRR 1080p display (which is still quite nice) you'll be for super fun gaming sessions on the go.

    I purchased the ROG Ally X as a replacement for a full desktop. With a dock I am able to complete any tasks I need on my 4k monitor. Using then Ally in handheld mode is a delightful experience. I am playing oblivion remastered and it runs well.

    My son loves it. Excellent purchase, the games run fast, good memory. The only thing I could say is that I had to order the case separately because it doesn't come like others with the case.

    My favorite gaming handheld

    The original Ally was a disaster for me. Not just because of the absyminal battery life but having just a single USB port meant that often times while I was restoring large Steam backups from the USB drive the console battery would get depleated. I returned the SteamDeck for the same reason and don’t understand how people can live with this. I also don’t understand why some people prefer the steamdeck over this considering the ally x is more powerful and can play all your PC games. When I had the steamdeck I realized I couldn’t play over 80% of my games because they were not compatible. Even some of the verified games were not playable. If you don’t like Windows just install Bazzite OS and you’ll get 95% of the SteamDeck OS experience for more battery life and power. The only thing I liked more about the deck over the ally was the ergonomics. Sure, the Ally X is still not perfect. Besides Windows being bloatware nowadays, it still suffers from some firmware/software quirks like console not powering on sometimes, appearing to be stuck at boot, or failing to calibrate the controllers properly. Luckily for me all these were solved by just retrying the procedure. Some reviewers also reported issues with getting LCD with bad pixels, triggers having uneven feel, rumble motor misbehaving, or buttens being squeaky. Luckily the console I received has been flawless in these regards. I recommend that if your console works fine for you, then do NOT upgrade the firmware/BIOS as in the best case will only fix some obscure issue you did not run into, or worst case introduce a new issue which will prevent your from enjoying the console until a fix comes along.

    Honestly its a really good replacement for a gaming laptop. Uses windows 11 so make sure to Update! Aside from that i do recommend to get the dock to play better at home and great for on the go gaming

    Wish it had an Nvidia card in it but. Otherwise it’s doing a great job. I leave it plugged in like a regular computer and connected to a 27” monitor and joystick. So far it’s great.

    The Ally X has become a fast staple device in my household. The convenience of the device compromises with the power to deliver a solid gaming experience. My only advice is to ditch Windows and install SteamOS/BazziteOS. Windows on a handheld is frustrating and clunky.

    The ROG Ally X is an amazing option for handheld gaming. The overall design and construction of the device is very well thought out and solid. The buttons feel nice and the thumb stick lighting helps find the buttons at nighttime. The performance in game is very exceptional for a handheld device with a beautiful touchscreen display to show it off.

    I got to say it i like the steam deck alot, But when it comes down to raw performance the ally x is it. If you play on the deck and wish you had just a bit more power with out doubt the rog will do it for you my games are running almost twice as fast and great screen clarity. Im sure valve will eventually bring out a improve version of the deck but till then ally x all day. The steam deck is way more user friendly.

    What a great way to be lazy on the couch or in bed but dont have a console. The battery life is very good and the cpu is a monster. The steam based games arent super optimised on the Ally but windows launched games run terrific. Each game takes a little bit of tinkering for the graphics settings but you can find all of those online. Just make sure you update it fully. I do recommend this handheld if money isnt a big issue for you.
