Im always on the go and this thing lets me game on my breaks without a problem. Super portable and powerful

I wanted something more portable than a laptop. This does the job fine. Full windows capability. Only 2 ports, but is enough for me. So far, it's great, except I need more storage. Easy enough to upgrade storage.

Very impressed by the high performance and quality of this handheld! Knocks the steam deck out of the water (besides the feeling of the device in your hands). I dock my ROG and connect it to my monitor and am able to play any game at 1080p 180Hz with zero issue! Very happy with my purchase.

Great overall can run Triple A games no issues max settings 1080p around 60-100 fps depending on the type of game, very fun product definitely recommend!!!

I was looking for something compact to play games on without bringing a laptop with me and the rog ally x definitely suits the need. Able to play assassin’s creed shadows pretty well(better when plugged in). Diablo 4 no issues with it, and no problem running less demanding games like fall guys. It doesn’t replace a laptop but a good substitute if you don’t want to carry anything bulky during a trip.

Great Handheld PC. Battery life is great. Hopefully this gives the competitions initiative to bring out more devices with even better performance and battery life. As a Husband, and Father, this has made my love for gaming even more accessible. Anywhere, Anytime.

I love having my steam games on the go. It's a nice size. My games run perfectly on this system.

Better battery, run a good selection of games like black myth wukong

Love it literally a portable pc I play most any titles on this thing at a surprising 120 to 90 fps on more extreme titles all in all amazing

Top -tier portable gaming device. Long battery life. If you are looking for a portable gaming device this is it.

I want to start by saying, I’m a huge gamer. I’ve owned just about every console. From the switch, PlayStation and even Xbox. Recently I’ve been getting into PC gaming, and that definitely changed everything. I’ve held off buying a PC handheld, until I saw the ROG Ally X. It offered me almost everything I was looking for. And, from the first day I bought it, I’ve used it everyday; and this thing is probably one of the best gaming consoles I’ve purchased in a longgg time. I upgraded it to 4TB, and can play just about everything. And games I can’t play, I can stream from my PC. The battery lasts a decent amount of time, the screen is crisp and clear. I’m definitely a huge fan of handheld gaming due to being able to play at work without bringing my beefy gaming laptop. It’s so comfortable to hold, and it’s quiet. I never hear it; unlike my gaming laptop. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Excellent overall, major improvement from previous Ally including double capacity battery life, 1tb ssd, 24mb memory and ergonomics design. This is much faster and fan cools down the unit very efficiently. Highly recommended for its size and worth the upgrade.

If you are well off enough to afford an $800 handheld PC, a 4TB 2280 NVMe drive to upgrade, and another $100 in a DBrand Killswitch and glass protector then yeah. This is an absolutely fantastic device that is incredible to play on and I love it so much more than I thought I would. I play gamepass games as well as steam primarily. I wanted newer more powerful hardware than the steam deck had because I prefer triple A titles. Is this worth the difference over the steam deck? If you also play resource heavy games and want a ton of local storage then it is totally worth it. If you just want to play your steam game collection on the go and don't mind dialing down the settings then get the Steam Deck. They both excel at what they are meant to be.

First, Rog Ally X has offered a great upgrade to its original Ally. It feels as if the company listened to the feedback just enough to scrape by to what the final product should’ve been the first time. The only issue I have with the Ally is the time to set up and the bloatware from Windows 11. Unless you are planning on using Microsoft Office on this, a lot of stuff can be deleted. Setup was a little over 2 hours plus an extra 2 hours cause I’m just a little much. As for Best Buy, I feel like I am an Alzheimer’s patient with severe sunsetting every time I preorder. For a new PS5, took three weeks to deliver. Preordered an Xbox X for launch date - 1 week to deliver the PREORDER. As for the Rog Ally X… I preordered this months before it came out. The street date was Monday 7/22. They didn’t even ship it til the 24th despite the order saying “will be received by end of day” on Monday. When I called customer service, I got some guy named Ken, who was definitely NOT named Ken, telling me “I know you are just excited to see your new gadget”. Bro, yes, but don’t patronize me and don’t lie. Again, Best Buy doesn’t deliver which is why they are shutting stores across the US. You cannot depend on them. TL;DR - get the Ally X. Never preorder from Best Buy.

I had the original Ally and currently have the steam deck oled. My review after a few days: The battery life is so good and worth the upgrade for me. Gamepass games are easy to install and play. More powerful than my steam deck. I will be selling the steam deck.

Awesome handheld. I haven't had a games on it that it can't handle yet. Definitely worth the purchase

This machine is excellent for AAA gaming. Frame rate is great, very little to no lag and easy to navigate if you are familiar with windows 11.

Great for on the go gaming and can run most games at medium settings at 60fps. It does have Bluetooth so you can connect a controller to it and prop it up and game instead. The battery also lasts about 3-4 hours depending on how demanding the games you play are.

Great purchase, runs snooth, good battery life, very accessible OS.

I brought this a few months ago being my first system I waited to review this is hands on better then a steam deck. Battery life is ok if you game a lot. A lot of games you get 2-3 hours off charge. I love the fact you can use it as a pc as well I been able to play games like Elden ring on mid to high specs with little fps drops so definitely a plus.. overall 5 stars on this
