The Asus ROG Ally X Is Available Now, Offers Better Battery Life And Enhanced Specs
While the Steam Deck is still seen as the go-to gaming machine in the market, the ROG Ally has emerged as a strong alternative thanks to its powerful mobile technology and attractive frame. And now, one year after the first model’s launch, the new Asus ROG Ally X is available. The hardware revision brings welcome upgrades to Asus’ Windows PC gaming handheld, including enhanced battery life, RAM, and storage in a more ergonomic chassis with improved cooling and wireless connectivity. The ROG Ally X is available for $800 at Best Buy.
The original ROG Ally was a great device when it first launched, even with the issues like the aforementioned poor battery life and its bad habit of weaponizing Micro SD cards. The Z1 Extreme version proved to be more than capable of running demanding games once you’d made a few graphical concessions, and in our testing, titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6, and Forza Motorsport ran smoothly. And now, the upgraded X model should boost performance even more.
