Customer Ratings & Reviews

Windows os was an inconvenience, the ASUS graphic updates werent always updating even when toggling on for Auto update. Battery depleted fast on AAA games. Biggest gripe is the grip and feel of the thing my pinkys felt weird and hands ached from play sessions

As much as I want to love the rog X theres one thing that keeps bugging me bad while playing and its the right side joystick seems to have some type of delay while aiming on B06! Tried everything from recalibration and tweaking it, just cant seem to aim well! This the only reason why im returning cant enjoy gaming.

Ill update when i recieve it but been watching youtube on this and asus definitely has a share in the future of the handheld world

Great device, just wishe it had a little bigger screen

Package stolen from my porch. Contacted best buy and they seem to be reviewing in order to process a refund. Cant believe that deluveries like this would just be left outside without being signed for. Cant revview the product for obvious reasons, but vvery disappointed in BestBuy shipping choice for something as costly as this.

It’s great for modern gaming where you have good internet. I bought it for a trip to China and I couldn’t get it to work on the internet on the plane, nor in country, nor with retro emulators that take no internet at all. Seems like I overspent for what it does. Emulators won’t pick up the built controllers for mapping so I couldn’t even do that

Ordering was easy and the estimated pick up date was on time.

This was my son’s favorite present!He loves being able to play all of his games

Had some problem with bluetooth but i fixed it so everything good.

Looking at the specs sheets, the Ally X offers a little more than the original that came out a year or so ago. After spending a week with it, I found that Asus has addressed all the shortfalls of the original Ally, especially the major one: battery life. For most, this might be the biggest reason for upgrading or choosing it over the Ally. To improve battery life, Asus doubled the capacity from 40Whr to 80WHr. On games like Modern Warfare 3 that played best under the performance profile, I’ve gone from 1.2 hours to almost 3 hours of gameplay before needing to plug the charger in. On some games that are not graphically intense, like 2D games, expect up to 6-8 hours of gameplay. Storage also saw significant upgrades, such as doubling the storage from 512GB to 1TB, and the form factor is now a standard size 2280. Going from 2230 to 2280 is a good change since now you can go up to 4TB of SSD storage and cheaper options than 2230 NVME drives. You also still have the option to add storage via the UHS-II microSD slot. The RAM was also upgraded from 16GB-6400 to 24GB LPPDR-7500 (16% faster). In some games, you may see an increase of 5-10% in additional fps. One feature that did not make it over from the ROG Ally was the proprietary port for connecting to external GPUs; instead, the Ally X sports a USB-4 (40 Gbps) Type C port. You now have more options available for external GPUs. With 2 USB C ports, you can connect to an external monitor and charge simultaneously with charging speeds up to 100w compared to 65w. Thermal was also improved with quieter fans. This is great since the speakers were excellent in the original Ally and are even better now with the Ally X. The joysticks are slightly different now. They feel less loose when moving, and overall durability was increased to 5mil cycles compared to 2mil. The face buttons have more feedback due to the more extended travel. The triggers are slightly chunkier now. The design looks very similar to the Ally, but Asus made minor tweaks to improve comfort when holding it. The corners are much more rounded. The display is still the same as the 7-inch IPS VRR 120hz 1080p from the ROG Ally. I would have loved to see an OLED panel, but the IPS panel is still a good one and the only display that supports VRR in the mobile PC gaming handheld market. I wanted to focus on the upgrades since the performance will be similar to that of the ROG Ally. The chipset is the same Z1 Extreme, which has proven to provide a good gaming experience at 1080p low-medium quality settings on most games. Upgrading from the ROG Ally is tricky since the only noticeable change you will see is battery life, especially if you often carry your device when traveling. I recommend going with the Ally X for those purchasing one for the first time. The added battery life and the additional RAM and storage are well worth it. 512GB can quickly get filled with 3-4 triple AAA titles. Even though micoSD is a good alternative, it’s not the best since speeds are way slower than those of an internal NVMe drive.

The rog ally x is great device . I already owned LCD steam deck so I just felt the price for rog ally x wasn’t worth it due to it not being not too much powerful than steam deck . Waiting for new version .

Having 2 usb is a better for mouse and keyboard. Good update.

Loving the new Asus, no problems so far and it’s really good.

It’s a good gaming handheld console, but it does take time to get used to the console

When it worked, it was awesome. But installing games, thats an issue. Too many updates to get it up and running. Too much learn curve conpared to a regular PC. I got it on sale right before Christmas. Too many games crashing. Had to return it.

It came doa so i didnt even get to use it. I heard its good though.

Not portable enough. The ergonomics are too overdone.

If you don't already have a ROG Ally, this is the one to get.

Runs really well some issues with buttons and analog sticks intermittently not working

Good device windows interface is not touchscreen friendly
