Is The ROG ALLY X Worth Buying?

I had the steam deck 1st, rog ally now, and the X pre-ordered. Windows based is most important to me.

I really wish ASUS would've shadow dropped the X.. I sold my Ally too early and now I miss it

Upgrading for the battery life, ram and I want to be able to use a none Asus external gpu. The X will last me through 2026. By then maybe Microsoft/Xbox will do something which is what i really want.

I plan on upgrading from my original ally, and use it as my primary machine for work, gaming, and video editing

I am returning my original Ally Z1 Extreme within the 60 day period for best buy along with the 2 tb drive I bought for it and preordering the X and will upgrade the storage, will only cost me a little bit more when all is said and done. I'm excited about this device.

At the price does it replace a budget gaming pc or laptop? I think so. Plus the advantages of being mobile

I’m getting it. It’ll be my first handheld pc.. I’ve been waiting a long time for them to fix the issues. Seems like it’s everything I want it to be finally.

HI Where Is it available for Pre Order in the UK , or is it available from Curry's and Asus ??? thanks

Ally X for me. Steam deck Oled is showing its limitations already even on low settings

Got the ally 1 if this was 600$ I would probably upgrade but as of right now I’m good with my ally 1

It is for me its got everything i wanted from my original ally, more RAM, more storage, 80wh battery, usb4 thunderbolt 4, a working micro Sd card, and im more excited about the community mods. Some say they'd wait for strix point, but i doubt it anyone besides ayaneo or onexplayer will put it into a handheld PC anytime soon.

Wish it was starting at $699 , would intrigue me more.

Definitely agree it depends on what games your playing, I have a steam deck and play a lot of my back log and indie games with no problem. I save the big triple A games for my PC. It’s pretty much a side kick to my pc. But if I didn’t have a pc I’d probably get an ally.

I have the Rog Ally and the Odin2. I will wait when they finally get the OLED maybe a year or two it will come out, however the battery life on the ally is so bad. I was hoping we can upgrade the battery.

ill just wait for next year to see if strix point apus come to handhelds like everyone is anticipating . if they dont come out, great im sure we'll know even more about the ally x then and it'll help me justify buying it even more. also im sure they'll have it a lower price. i dont buy into the FOMO and thats really the only reason to get it now rather than later

What about the Claw 8, that is the issue. I don't really know if I should buy it ..... if in 2 months a better one comes. Claw 7 has been a failure but claw 8 seems very promising.

Not sure…. On one hand having an additional c-port, better RAM and a slightly better battery is tempting… but I have the Z1 extreme version of the Ally which has the same chip as the x version, with the micro SD still functioning ( granted I’m keeping a close eye on the temperature so that it doesn’t fry it)… I think I’m going to wait until a newer version of the Ally is released that has a new chip and an even better battery for now at least.

I'm excited to buy it 😝🔥

£800 man I was hoping it would be cheaper. Looks like I’ll be keeping my deck oled and og rog ally. I would of thought they were of included a oled screen at that price. Can’t wait to see the bench marks. I’m thinking of getting the onexplayerx1 AMD. Is it any good?

I have z1 extreme ally and i dont feel the need to upgrade. I have a capable 4k rig that i use on my tv with controller. I use mostly steam on it and i do some fortnite. And i got the charger with the hdmi usb port for when travel. Paried with a mini keyboard the i8 variant and i got like a. Traveling gaming rig/ desktop For anyone who doesnt have a windows based handheld and is looking for one i advise the ally x over the others but if you already have one and dont have lets a egpu laying around i wouldent bother switching the difference isnt that big you are alrdy satisfied woth your og ally
