"The ROG Xbox Ally X, the handheld console collaboration from Asus and Microsoft, is an impressive, yet expensive, piece of gaming tech. The pricier of the two portable gaming devices dropping on 16 October, the all-black ROG Xbox Ally X will cost you a cool 799 (899/$999/A$1599) to sample its splendour. (The less powerful ROG Xbox Ally, which comes in white, will run you 499/599/$599/A$999.) Thankfully, the pricier option has said splendour in spades."
"Though the price tag is certainly a shocker (the Steam Deck OLED, a direct competitor, costs 479/569/$549/A$899 for its cheaper model), the power packed into this comparatively smaller frame (291 x 122 x 51mm) is like nothing the portable gaming market has seen before. That power, coupled with its ability to play Xbox games through cloud gaming or its Play Anywhere initiative (where purchases and process carry between Xbox and PC platforms),"
The ROG Xbox Ally X is a high-end handheld priced at £799/€899/$999/A$1599, with a lower-cost ROG Xbox Ally model also available. The device measures 291 x 122 x 51mm and offers stronger performance than many portable competitors. The handheld supports Xbox cloud gaming, Play Anywhere cross-buy and cross-save between Xbox and PC, and can run PC games from various storefronts. The device runs Windows 11 and launches into a full-screen Xbox experience, but initial setup requires updates and presents standard Windows notifications that create some friction. Overall performance is excellent despite a few minor, fixable UI hiccups.
