Customers are saying

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.

    Strong handheld worth it if you get it on sale.

    Great device great power. If you can get it on sale it is definitely worth the price. Really only thing is windows holding it back. Until Microsoft can release a os for handheld devices or steam os gets released onto Asus the ease of use will slightly be lacking. If you want a strong portable handheld this is the product.

    Tremendously better than the 1st gen model! The grip feels way better, back buttons are placed in a great spot where you don’t accidentally press them. Runs everything I play smoothly and desktop mode doesn’t disappoint!

    I recently have had a PS Portal, and a Steamdeck OLED, and this item blows them both away. The ability to play games across different platforms is amazing. This comes at the cost of great battery life. I would recommend you buy a power bank or stay plugged in for long gaming sessions, but for short gaming sessions? This item is the best handheld you can buy!

    Great machine! I was a little iffy on getting a new handheld, but the Ally X changed my mind. It's a fantastic handheld. The power and capabilities are there. it never gets uncomfortable, and it is a very responsive machine. I truly enjoy it, and am happy to get to play it. Because it's Windows, I can get various emulators on here as well, which is superb

    BEST HANDHELD GAMING PC

    Great device, way better than the steam deck and this is currently the best PC Gaming Handheld in the market right now because of its specs of performance. I was skeptical of buying it because people were saying the launch day was bad, people were getting bad devices with buttons not working but trust me ASUS and BestBuy must have fixed this issue because my device is perfect.

    Good but don't recommend.

    I was contemplating getting the Steam Deck Oled or the ROG Ally X for sometime. After getting the ROG Ally X, it took sometime to get used to the clunkiness of windows on a handheld. However, once everything is setup - the gaming experience has been good for most games. Additionally, thanks to windows OS, modding single player games are a breeze. Overall, it serves its intended purpose, but the biggest downside is the price. At this price you can get a small and portable gaming laptop (12''-15'') that will handle any current AAA game. Currently, I only get 20-30 FPS on Expedition 33 with graphics set to medium.

    Best Windows Handheld

    I own the original Ally and both of the LCD and OLED Steam Decks. If you want a windows based handheld, this is the one to buy hands down. Fixed all the issues i had with the first gen. Controls are much better feeling, and the UI is improved. Battery is fantasic, and the extra RAM and speed of it give a nice boost, and it feeos snapper with marginal improvements to FPS.

    I travel overseas a lot and the ROG Ally X allows me to pass the time when chilling in the hotel room. So far I’ve only played Xbox GamePass games and all have worked well except Return to Castle Wolfenstein - can’t get it to run. Make sure you enable offline gaming on your Microsoft account. One complaint, it’s difficult for me to hold the controls and tilt the screen to view straight on. If the screen could rotate that would fix this issue.

    I love this machine. I don't use it for gaming, I love it's battery life, and it mostly can be used without a mouse and keyboard. You won't go wrong with the fast little jewel.
