Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think this device is really solid. IMO it has the best ergonomics in the handheld pc space currently. Software support is very strong, and performance is extremely solid. It gets criticized for the screen size, but i found myself immersed in late night gaming sessions in bed. The face buttons are a little loud, but i think you play a lot of offline games and want to maximize playing on the go, this is probably your best option. The 17-20 watt range is truly the sweet spot for Z2E chip on this device.

I recently upgraded from the previous Ally X to the new ROG Xbox Ally X. While the previous model was already a top-tier handheld, this new collaboration between ASUS and Microsoft feels like the "final form" of the device. The New Ergonomics: A Genuine Improvement The biggest physical change is the contoured grips. Even coming from the Ally X (which improved on the original Ally), the Xbox edition feels more like holding a premium Xbox Wireless Controller. The Feel: It’s more rounded and fits the palms better. The Triggers: The addition of impulse triggers makes a huge difference in games like Forza or Halo—it’s something I didn't realize I was missing until I had it. Performance: Subtle but Noticeable I wasn't expecting a massive leap in performance since the previous Ally X was already great, but the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme does show its strength in certain areas: Framerate Stability: In demanding AAA titles, I've noticed some games running at a noticeably higher FPS. Final Verdict If you just want the best ergonomics and the most seamless Xbox experience on the go, this is it. I upgraded mainly for the grips and the console-like feel, and while the performance boost isn't a "generational" jump, the overall package is the most polished handheld I've ever used.

Way better than the original. Been using it a ton compared to the old one, lot more powerful and polished.

I find this review a little difficult to write, as I have not spent much time with my new ROG Xbox Ally X, as I’ve reached an age where I just buy things and rarely have time to play them, lo siento Señor Buy. But overall, the unit feels real nice the in the hands, and I have had the opportunity to play a few things. I would have to say it is the most comfortable handheld on the market, but the screen leaves a little to be desired, not going to knock it down past 4 stars though. Ultimately, if you are looking for a Quality Windows handheld, this or the new and more expensive Legion Go 2 are your Huckleberry. If you are looking for something more pick up and play, grab a Nintendo Switch 2, that one really takes it up to 11!

The ROG Xbox Ally X 7" is awesome handled platform that has great graphics and power under the hood to play all my games. I really like how I can play both Xbox Titles and Steam games on this handheld. Also it comes packed with utilities like the Armoury Crate that makes tweaking performance and Controller options very easy to do. I don't think you can go wrong with this handheld.

I’ve been using it for about a week and I’ve enjoyed using it on the go. There was a slight problem at first and I had to get a new one however when I went to get it fixed the employees were very helpful and I ended up getting it exchanged for a new one. Th console is lighter than you’d expect and it can pretty much do whatever you want whether it’s modding games, emulators, or just playing your whole steam library. With the right specs aswell u could get it to last 12 hrs on not triple A games

The ASUS ROG Ally X is easily one of the best handheld gaming PCs right now. The performance is impressive, the 120Hz display looks amazing, and the battery life is a huge improvement over the original Ally. It runs AAA games surprisingly well for a handheld, and the ergonomics make long gaming sessions comfortable. Windows can still feel a little clunky on a handheld device, but overall the Ally X delivers a premium gaming experience that’s hard to beat. Great choice for gamers who want PC gaming anywhere. So far I am enjoying it

Good games good for gifts decent storage and clear gaming

This steam deck is the best console I have ever own. It’s fun and easy to use . I connected my Xbox to it and you have enough storage . It’s not too big not too small. I hate seeing from a far so the steam deck while gaming is the best thing ever. I felt like it made me a better gamer than I ever was. Thank you to the salesmen who recommended me the game and answered all my questions confidently and pleasant he convinced me to get it.

The best of the best. High quality and suprisingly light.

This system is awesome.Graphics are amazing sound is top notch and the controls are easy to use

A few months in with it and i take it absolutely everywhere that i might have a little down time. The ergonomics are excellent and the battery life is enjoyable. It can play just about all of my favorite titles with ease and overall it's just a blast to have with me wherever i go.

I love it so far, only issue I have had is that most of my xbox games do not actually transfer over so you will have to buy some games again or subscribe to xbox game pass. Not a fan of that but that has nothing to do with the performances of the Xbox Rog. If you play steam games this thing is AMAZING. I played Cyberpunk and had zero issues graphics were incredible and i also played Harry Potter. Both games ran smooth with zero lag. Does take a while to boot games up, but once up they run perfectly.

My honest review about the ROG XBOX ALLY X First you cannot play all your Xbox owned games on it only certain I think honestly it’s like having a laptop but without the keyboard. The OS is not as sleek as steam and sometimes kinda quirky. The pros on the other hand it performs great you’d have to look up benchmarks the screen is so nice the handles actually feel better than the regular ROG. I mainly game on my pc but sometimes I like to just lay down and play MOST of my steam games and some Xbox game pass games it does die quick tho in my opinion but when you have a power house like this machine what do you except but 1000 is very steep too cuz than your thinking why not buy GPU but like I said sometimes I just like to sit down and play it.

This is not an XBOX, but it's close. The feel of the controller in your hands, the triggers, the buttons, the d-pad, and especially the thumbsticks... are definitely a step above. The thumbsticks glide effortlessly with precision, they feel extremely smooth. The performance of this handheld is far and away better than anything you can get from the Steam Deck. This is the only Ryzen Extreme powered handheld that comes with it's own AI NPU which has yet to showcase itself in day-to-day gaming operations but you can believe that it's going to play a big part in handling AUTO SR when that comes next month so your games can look better and run better while doing it. If you're on the fence about picking this up, all I can say to you is this is the best price to performance Z2 Extreme handheld and it feels amazing in your hands while doing it. I am very happy with this purchase.

Loved it. Best gaming handheld so far. Best Hand grip. Sound is sooper.

VERY misleading. It's a windows pc handheld, NOT XBOX. They advertise "play all your games" but this is not true, the smaller print then goes into the different pc game storefronts. It should have been marketed/named "ROG Windows Gaming Ally X". For the cost, they should have included the case. Very disappointed I had to purchase a separate case for it. It has an included "stand". Flimsy cardboard that will easily be broken/crushed. You couldn't spend a little bit more for a plastic stand ASUS, or even a dock stand? Haven't played much on it, but overall performance seems good. Very confusing interface for a first time handheld PC user.

If you’re an on the go gamer and love the thought of a hybrid Xbox/pc that can run things amazingly well, this is a must buy. Takes some getting used to software wise, but this thing is a beast. While we haven’t hit 4k levels just yet, I can’t speak highly enough of the ROG Xbox Ally X

Personally I love it games like death stranding look and run beautifully and it’s extremely comfortable. If you have the budget of course.

Excellent console, good battery life, great for triple AAA games, great ergonomics, overall a fantastic purchase but could be cheaper.
