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.

    Great outing by Asus. I've had this model for the better part of two years and it's still running strong. It's heavy, but that's the compromise you make for battery life.

    Beware of Monitors

    The handheld itself is very handy and nice for travel. It lasted about 2-3 hours on a full battery for me. I was playing games like 7 Days to Die for reference of strain to unit. My biggest issue came when I connected the handheld to my 4k 240hz monitor. It obviously couldn’t handle those specs which is understandable, but when I dropped the specs to be compatible with the handheld, it basically rendered my monitor useless. The amount of warped framing, scaling errors, and mutli-tasking the handheld was attempting to do caused it to basically crash any game I was playing. It could hardly run Windows in that mode. Not a deal breaker if you’re strictly using it for on the go, but keep that in mind in case you’re looking for an All-in-One solution like I was.

    I have both versions of the Ally and the Ally X, while not a full upgrade, is still worthy of your time. Boots faster than the original, better battery, and the extra usb-c slot makes it easier for peripherals like the Vitire glasses. All in all worth it.

    I was upset that I didn’t receive it on release day, especially since i preordered as soon as they went live, but thats a bestbuy issue. I must admit, it was worth the wait. I sold my legion go as soon as the X was announced. This was definitely an upgrade.

    Great device. Ton of power and customization options in terms of power use. Installed a 4 tb drive, partitioned half of it and threw bazzite on it for a steam deck UI experience. Super easy.

    I think the build quality is fine im not sure what people are complaining about. If you want a hand held that will run emulators decently, older games on good settings this is fine. I wasnt expecting 4k on newer AAA titles, but im struggling getting 30 solid frames on newer games even after spending hours playing with system settings/ game settings. I’m not new to PC gaming whatsoever but i would much rather spend 200 on a Series S and carry that around for whatever game I want. Either that or spending a bit more on a more capable laptop.

    Fantastic handheld gaming device! I use it when traveling to kill time on flights and sometimes in hotels. I know you can do a lot with this but for me just having a solid powerful device to play games on the is checks all the boxes

    This thing is awesome. Though spec wise, improvements may not seem drastic, compared to the original ally, this is leaps and bounds ahead and worth the money. Unlike some other reviews, I'm happy to say i havent experienced any quality control issues.
