"Lets get this out of the way: The ROG Xbox Ally X costs $1,000. That gets you an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, 8GB of extra memory, and an 80wh battery compared to the $600 Xbox Ally model's Z2 A processor, smaller memory, smaller battery, and smaller storage (512GB of SSD instead of 1TB). Microsoft only sent me the Ally X for review, so I can't tell you how the two match up or if the upgrade is worth it."
"It's more than double the price of a Switch 2, and $450 more than the base Steam Deck OLED. At just 7 inches, the 1080p, 120Hz screen is still smaller than both of those cheaper alternatives. The new Asus-manufactured handheld, like the original models, still comes with an enormous bezel that makes it look like a cheap tablet. Nothing about the Ally X shell, the flexing of the screen when you press down on it,"
The ROG Xbox Ally X costs $1,000 and packs an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, 1TB SSD, 8GB more memory, and an 80Wh battery compared with the $600 Ally model. The handheld presents a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz screen with a large bezel and a shell that flexes under pressure, contributing to a non-premium feel. The device is relatively light in hand despite its 1.57-pound weight due to balanced weight distribution. New Xbox controller-like paddles on the ends provide comfortable grips and represent the clearest improvement. The Ally X remains smaller and pricier than Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED alternatives.
