Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first handheld PC, Steam Deck type of device. I would asbsolutely recommend it. Works perfectly as designed. I just wish the price wasn't so steep.

A handy machine, I've been using it nonstop when waiting for prolongued times. Battery life could be better but it lasts a few hours, so good enough for me.

Overall great device a bit high on the price but you do get what you paid for. Playing Arc raiders is great on this thing.

Best handheld I’ve ever purchased! I am not a pc gamer so there’s a learning curve but the Xbox experience makes it easy!

Just an amazing system, love being able to play on the go. Battery life and everything else is amazing. Highly recommend

Its expensive hand held but only wirth it if you travel a lot to play your steam and xbox games on the go

Best there is for gaming on the go. And with the Xbox controller grips feels just like your playing with a console controller!

It's fine. The Xbox Full Screen Experience isn't nearly as good as it should be, it's literally still running windows. You'll still have to install updates and drivers from literally 4 different places.

Pricey but worth it. A hundred dollars more than the original ally x

Love it fits perfectly in your hand and is awesome for playing games on the couch

I mean wow! Being able to play AAA games while at work or at home as a dad of 2 boys! This is a gem!

Great powerful handheld. It's much more easier to use then the original Rog.

The Xbox Handheld is an awesome console to play everyday.

BEST HAND HELD EVERRRR. Both pc games and Xbox all at once

Simply put, this is a mere refresh of a refresh. This is almost exactly the ROG Ally x from 2 years ago, with little handles added. ASUS cheaped out BADLY on this 1. same EXACT screen as the original ROG ally.. what??? 2. no hall effect joysticks. 3. single usb4, competition doubles this 4. TINY pathetic 7" screen despite bulk 5. Almost zero performance gain over previous generations NOT an xbox either. just a windows handheld. Long story short, get an msi claw 8ai or a legion go 2 (or a cheap clearance previous ally i guess)

Item was never delivered. Shipping company OnTrac updated as out for delivery on Friday morning and didn’t update all weekend. Followed up on Monday to figure out where my package was and they ran an investigation, was told Tuesday that the result of the investigation was that they delivered my item and it is now Best Buy’s problem. Now my day 1 $1,000 preorder is being predicted to be available 2-months later.

Not that great, too small for an Xbox game, too expensive, it's a super, tiny, mini PC, save your money and buy a proper laptop

Bad screen, go buy steam deck:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It’s here, probably the most anticipated piece of gaming hardware of 2025, The ROG Xbox Ally X. There’s a lot to like here and thats from someone who has owned the previous Ally’s as well as last year’s Ally X, i’m able to talk about this handheld system with good details and I’m going to share my experiences with this bad boy. Is this an Xbox Console handheld device? The short answer to this question is no, this is a full-fledged windows 11 PC handheld device, from here you can download games from a number of places, Steam being one of those places. I personally use the Xbox Gamepass, it’s affordable and there’s a ton of games to choose from including new games that get added on pretty much every couple of weeks. Getting started is pretty standard for anybody that has a PC, you have to sign in, download a few updates, download games etc. but it’s all fun in the process. Screen: Even though it is still 1080p (and not 1440p or 2k, 4k etc) AND not OLED is in my opinion still perfectly fine. 7 inches is a nice size screen, its very bright, very clear and very colorful. I don’t know why the screen hasn’t been upgraded, but my bet is that this screen uses the least amount of power compared to the others and was probably chosen to keep the battery lasting for as long as possible. Battery: A very good high capacity battery. Will last maybe 2 hours playing AAA games or 5+ playing less demanding games, it might not seem like a lot, but literally having a portable PC last as long as it does is pretty impressive once you see it in action. RAM: 24GB, more than enough RAM for a handheld device. This bad boy has enough memory to run any game out right now and it’s pretty future proof as well. To give you an example, Battlefield 6, which is the newest AAA game out right now recommends 16GM of RAM. Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, a very powerful and very capable processor according to reports, it’s a slightly better processor than last generations Z1 Extreme. More than capable to run any game, or multiple open applications. Memory: 1TB of storage, enough to download a few AAA games, you will eventually run out, but 1TB it’s kind of standard right now, not great, but not bad either. There’s a memory card slot to add additional storage if needed. Again, pretty standard. Ergonomics: the obvious difference to this Ally compared to the previous ones is the ergonomics or more precisely the grips, very comfortable to hold, they have a nice texture to them, the whole device does have some weight to it but its not heavy. Misc: Comes with its charger, has rear trigger buttons, the speakers sound fine for their size. The two charging ports and the power button and all the vents seem to be exactly the same from the Ally X. I did some digging and found out that if anything needs to be replaced like worn out thumbsticks and buttons, they are user replaceable, which means if you take care of your device it will last you for a very long time. I know the price is a little steep, but you get the best PC handheld out right now.

So far it’s wonderful! Portability is great. Comfort is top notch with the new Xbox handles. Everything seems A+ so far with it. Battery is good so far and hopefully it’s great!
