I would have sure bought the X if I hadn't already purchased the original one. I got my ALLY to as close as possible to the X by:- Buying a 148Wh (40000 mAh) 65w PD Power bank, attaching it to the back using JSAUX Mod Case and upgrading to 4TB 2280 SSD using L shaped m.2 adapter. 16 GB is enough for me as I use WIN 10 debloated with Atlas OS, and Razer Cortex app that frees up RAM on game launch. The only thing I miss out really is on USB 4 for an external GPU Dock, but I don't have an extra GPU lying around rn so that's okay, I guess. But the ability to just plug the Ally X into a GPU Dock with a monitor, keyboard and mouse hooked up whilst also charging through that port will be a really good alternative to having separate Gaming PC/Laptop/Handheld, and is definitely awesome.
You can say that Rog Ally X is good device for being a better long-term portable Windows machine with a lot of cool capabilities, that original device is missing. But it is certainly not a requirement for previous Ally owners to buy, as performance is pretty much similar.
Yeah it’s definitely a great step forward in many ways but if you already have the original Ally then this isn’t really aimed for replacing them, more for the people who don’t yet have one. Sounds like you’ve made some great upgrades!
You are also missing out on the ergonomic 😅 the biggest thing for me is really the battery while keeping almost same weight. That is a huge one for me.
Personally I enjoy my Steam Deck OLED 1 TB and plan on upgrading only when Steam Deck 2 comes out. But it is nice to see that the handheld market is growing and we are getting various handheld options from various companies now. I think people should have an option to choose and vote with their wallets, this can only contribute to better product quality and improvements as companies need to compete for customers.
I have a Steam Deck and I' very happy with it. But, I want also a Windows Handheld device because I'm more confortable with Windows. Plus, in Windows I can do everything or almost everything. I love that. Rog Ally X looks cool but not good enough for me. I want bigger Oled screen and a new AMD processor.
Yeah that’s what I like about this, the ability to have a full windows device that basically fits in my pocket. Would love to see an OLED version one day
I get your point but there are no OLED screens with that size that have VRR support. And VRR on a handheld is a must. I thought I wouldnt really need it but thats just false. I have a S95C QD-OLED with VRR and the difference in fluidity is immense. Thats why im going to sell my Legion Go, once my Ally X pre-order arrives next month.
@@amigoz3201 Not really. Even though itbis a nice screen the lack of VRR is a huge problem. The games simply do not feel fluid no matter their framerate. It has to be like 100+ frames where it becomes okayish. And try to get those frames with such a device.
@@Cenkolinoare either one of the steam decks able to out-put video in VRR or is that something for windows/stronger devices Steam Deck is the cheapest way for me to get PC gaming. And I know it doesn't output crazy high FPS. I plan on playing it with an external monitor exclusively. I would happily buy a monitor with VRR I see conflicting stuff about this on reddit.
nothing, as USB C ports have no issues operating in environments up to 120 degrees celsius, every GPU USB-C port runs hotter than the ones on the ally x(which doesnt get hot at all for some reason). Also the micro sd card issue was fixed a year ago can people please stop pretending it is still an issue, as it was only an issue of the first charge and also got even eliminated on first charge devices due to softwareupdates
I got the EZ1 and I Love it! it just gets better and better with time (updates). I have pre-orderd Rog Ally X. better grip, more tension on stick, more ram, more battery, can use 2280, better fans and some design changes.. it just keeps on giving! you cant say no to that. with this smal upgrade its the cherry on top for Rog Ally and if you ask me yes its worth it! its what i want in the EZ1
The device is perfect most problems coming from Windows. No fast resume issues to open games and other things making it hard to use it as portable gaming device. Sold my Rog Ally waiting for better system.
I always wanted the ally to be black.when the claw was announced i was so going to get it because it was black and looked amazing.such a shame it's a flop .Hopefully the Ally X is good as it looks .!!
It certainly has been through all the testing I’ve done so far! The claw has come on a long way since it released but the Ally X has it beaten at the moment
Yeah. I have the Steam Deck and Legion Go. Both of those D-Pads are absolutely worthless. The Legion GOs D-Pad especially is atrociously bad. Its even useless for simple navigation, since it its too shallow and needs a lot of pressure as well.
I didn't use xgmobile, but it's kinda sad that they removed it for those who use it. Maybe they could have put 1 usb c on top and bottom and kept xgMobile. Is the XGmobile dead already?
Problem with allyx is that strix point and lunar lake are both releasing very soon as in later this year. Both promise significant jumps in gpu performance.
They do and it’ll be interesting to see how they stack up. MSI’s new lunar lake Claw debuted at Computex as well as the Ally X so will certainly be one to keep an eye on
No brainer. With steam deck you are jailed with steam games but ally can run all games platform including xbox game pass, epic games, battle net, GOG, steam, blizzard, launchers
It is kind of nice and all but of course the one reason why they doubled the battery is because of the memory not only running faster and also more of it since it is 24gb instead of 16gb so people will start to play their games on a higher settings which will kill the battery just like it does on the older Ally model.
@@BigDaddyMacc Well most younglings when they see more memory and longer battery they would tend to play the games on a higher settings which of course would drain the battery at the same level.
Hopefully the Ally X can be everything I want. I never owned the original Ally. I'm fairly new to handheld gaming devices. I've been having a Nintendo switch for 5-6 years and I'm just recently bought the Ayn Odin 2 and I've been having fun emulating games. But I want something I can play Steam on that's a little bit stronger than the steam deck. I bought my girlfriend a steam deck for Christmas and it runs really smooth for her. Had a few hiccups playing Baldur's Gate 3 at first but now it's running without crashing. I don't know what she did to tweak the settings but I'm not planning on playing any games that strong. I'm more excited to use this thing as a mini desktop and install FL STUDIO on it to use it as a portable studio 😂 I've been cooking up on my Odin 2 using FL Mobile but I think using FL Studio will be an insane experience on a handheld device
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how clean the footage is. Nice work on the vid brother. Proper sharp, bright, crisp. impressive. Would love a how I record / edit videos end to end long form vid. Chris - Manchester
Lemme guess...the screen is still too small? That'd be the only issue keeping me from picking one up. Literally everything else is a very nice upgrade. OLED would be great too. And are the sticks Hall Effect?
It's a good upgrade but I also question their choice of only offering it in Black. The price hike is too steep (especially if you're not in the US) compared to the Z1 Extreme which can be found with deep discounts for almost 50% the price of the Ally X. I don't think this one will be entirely successful until they discount it as well.
@@gustavoroque8830 Idk I'm talking about my own country. It's currently for sale for around 500 euro while the Ally X pre-order is almost 900 euro lol deff not worth it
I still have my original rog ally for almost a year now and the sd card reader still works. I wanted something completey different so i upgraded to a onexfly and loving it. I find myself using my rog ally less.
This is so tempting, im still behind on the times with my ps4 and want a handheld i can play AAA games. Is it really worth the price or could i still play the same new games just on little lower graphics settings with the Z1 or steam deck?
The Steam Deck is serviceable and well-optimized (especially when using below 15W), but the power really isn’t anything to write home about at this point. The original Ally Z1 *Extreme* (don’t even bother with the non-Extreme model) is more powerful when using higher wattages, of course, at the *significant* cost of battery life. The Ally X alleviates the battery issue with the new 80Wh battery and seemingly better optimization, but of course the price is much higher than either of the other options. Frankly, for AAA titles at good speeds, portability, and no hurdles to jump through (SteamOS being Linux and thus not having access to all games), the Ally X seems like the best option if you have money.
I'm also hoping for a display that can change angles, so I can leave my hands horizontal and the screen more vertical without straining my wrists like on the original Steamdeck and Rog Ally.
@@SpuddGaming also I feel the right analog stick looks a bit low on it? Like I know it’s a different design than the steam deck. But that was an issue with me on the switch. I love the Xbox controllers and I see lots trying to mimic that but the grip isn’t as big as a legit controller.
@@SneakyCaleb I have mine for 6 months and I never had an issue with it. I play all modern AAA games in 1080p and I can tell you that 1080p screen is very sharp and crisp and the device is super light.
@@mickeymouze5 There is a lot of changes compare to what steamdeck OLED's upgrade. 1. SSD is now full size 1T. 2. Battery life is now 80wats 3. It has more ram 24gb and faster as well 4. It now has two type C with thunderbolt 4 so you can connect any egpu. 5. It now has 3 fans and thinner blades for better cooling, 6. It has better buttons and they change the shape of the ally X as well for better ergonomics. 7. They change the Analog stick as well
@@nathanjuan6042 Okay, you maybe be tad bit right but i still don't think people shouldn' t upgrade if you alrdy own the normal one. i think it's ridiculously overpriced, Fortunately for me i bought my Rog Ally Z1 Extreme off a friend for only 350$ and he barely used it only to play wow and it didn't work out for him. it's a cool device but the only issue for these companies is they're about performance not so much about Optimization but what can i expect.. it's bascially a mini laptop so its bound to happen, these changes are cool but its just the same object reinvented with same aspect but different components this new "ally x" is good if you haven't bought the Normal ally.
@@nathanjuan6042 exactly and the memory is much faster, and the solid-state memory is the full 2280 drive. So theoretically you could put up to eight gigs of storage if you wanted too 🔥🌶️
@@Andy-xn1lz i went to best buy today and tried the original ally and the legion. and decided to go with the legion due to screen size and to me its more comfortable in my hands.
That has been fixed already a little with firmware updates and later models don't have that problem and this X they have fixed that design flaw (already stated). And that only happens when you put and play heavy games on the MICRO sd (normal use Micro SD there are no problems I have used my ROG a lot of times and have the first model)... better put the games on the internal storage and upgrade your HD with a 2TB as I did. IT's super easy to do with this device... took 5 mins it's very friendly build to replace stuff.
Once the embargo is up, can you please test the default sleep/resume functionality? I'm curious to know if it's been improved compared to the original Ally.
They offloaded the burden to the user. They "collaborated" with the brand that makes them so they can offer some compatible with the Ally X for sale. So they get the press about "supporting" them but the user ends up having to pay extra and mount them themselves.
Not really worth the upgrade The m.2 you can install a 2280 factory with an adapter The battery you can counter that with a portable battery The temperature you can counter that with a good fan curve setup Same apu and same cpu same screen If you have the original ally, just get it for half the price of this one on Best Buy open box I've seen them going for 378 usd
Compared with ROG Ally when it was first released, ROG ROG Ally X has several amazing improvements as follows: 1. The SSD capacity is increased and replaced with a 1TB capacity SSD. 2. The battery capacity is doubled, and it is basically no problem to play games continuously for 2.5~3 hours. 3. With the improvement of the driver and the improvement of the cooling system, when using 29~30w full power for gaming, the temperature is about 69~73 degrees Celsius. You don’t have to worry about the memory card when using an industrial-grade microSD memory card that can withstand 85 degrees Celsius temperatures. 4. The durability of the rocker rotation is increased from 2.5 million times to 5 million times, and it has a stronger spring.
It’s way too much I love the steam deck but this handheld looks ok love the black color but it cost way too much I think I will wait for it to go down low but it’s looking really nice
Considering this is the most in-depth video of the ally x on youtube so far, I think this video might be breakin some rules on what you were allowed to show/talk about
I tend to always try to include it but in this case it’s likely not going to be the final result and most people probably didn’t as the only things in there were the device and charger 😅
Hot take 7-7.5” is a sweet spot for HANDHELD gaming devices. Anything more is entering tablet range. Also HUGE shoutout to the speakers in these devices. They are absolutely insane. Seriously, I want over the ear headphones and a soundbar of the same quality lol.
@@firstclaims30 Yep. The ladies love em. Or I just accidentally aim for the wrong button. The armory crate buttons could be easily moved, still on the front face of the machine. Didn’t realize some people would take it personally.
The design is not that much cool that has to be only the changes and the battery they should have taken on the screen like the Legion go however legion go more better than these device
Everything you wanted, except good support from ASUS 🤣 as much as I want one I refuse to deal with Asus service ever again, nightmare for decades, they promise to fix things and never do, perhaps a drop in customers that’s significant with all the UA-camrs blacklisting them will finally fix things then I might spend my money with them, I’m sure they will be popular but DYOR before buying
While i understand the situation, i prefer asus over other brands. They juat deliver most the time. I have lots of asus products and never faced an issue. Plus when i buy, i just go for my store warranty so i dint deal with asus rma anyways.
It's the same thing every other computer company does. If you're worried about the customer service, use a credit card that has an extra, independent warranty attached to it.
5-20 years old games about 40% of them are not working because of new microsoft bullshit rules to block old security systems and lots of problems, which require NVIDIA PhysX. Hardware could be good, but software is awful
It is better in every way. Just because its not in white, doesnt make it less perfect. Your biased opinion doesnt matter. If you like your whites to go yellow over time, no one's going to debate with you. It's your preference. EVERYBODY else likes it in black. You don't have to remind everyone of your biased opinion, since facts overweigh opinions.

They offloaded the burden to the user. They "collaborated" with the brand that makes them so they can offer some compatible with the Ally X for sale. So they get the press about "supporting" them but the user ends up having to pay extra and mount them themselves.
Not really worth the upgrade
The m.2 you can install a 2280 factory with an adapter
The battery you can counter that with a portable battery
The temperature you can counter that with a good fan curve setup
Same apu and same cpu same screen
If you have the original ally, just get it for half the price of this one on Best Buy open box
I've seen them going for 378 usd
You won't need to wait long. New OLED windows handle on its way
Yes. But is it better than legion go in every way?
LeGo is better for screen size and detachable controllers
@@Andy-xn1lz its funny The detachable controllers kinda sucks because I can’t figure out where to buy them if they broke
@sanderdegurra9002 Not tried myself (never detach them) but I think you can order them from Lenovo service centre
I wanted white but this is beautiful.
It is a dealbreaker for me that it is no longer white. So please rog, make a white verson!
From the chat I had with them prior to launch, the majority of people wanted a black version over a white one so I doubt we’ll see the white come back
@@SpuddGaming 😔
@@SpuddGaming what if we start a petition😂
You can always get a white skin for it
Just get an original ally lol
Compared with ROG Ally when it was first released, ROG ROG Ally X has several amazing improvements as follows:
1. The SSD capacity is increased and replaced with a 1TB capacity SSD.
2. The battery capacity is doubled, and it is basically no problem to play games continuously for 2.5~3 hours.
3. With the improvement of the driver and the improvement of the cooling system, when using 29~30w full power for gaming, the temperature is about 69~73 degrees Celsius. You don’t have to worry about the memory card when using an industrial-grade microSD memory card that can withstand 85 degrees Celsius temperatures.
4. The durability of the rocker rotation is increased from 2.5 million times to 5 million times, and it has a stronger spring.
It’s way too much I love the steam deck but this handheld looks ok love the black color but it cost way too much I think I will wait for it to go down low but it’s looking really nice
If Xbox doesn’t announce anything I’ll grab this next month with a kill switch case.
It is cool but realistically I will just play on PC or mobile games on my phone
That’s fair
State of the art but probably a little more complex to use than a steamdeck. 👍🙌
Trust me the ally is as easy as it gets. The steamdeck is horrible with anything outside of steam. You won’t have this problem with a windows device
@@firstclaims30 im 75, I use an old mac and don't know anything about computers. I need something to plug&play.
The steamdeck might be better for you then. As long as you don’t leave the steam eco you should be fine and easy enough.
Considering this is the most in-depth video of the ally x on youtube so far, I think this video might be breakin some rules on what you were allowed to show/talk about
No, we’re allowed to talk about features, specs and general thoughts but no performance graphs, FPS counts etc
@@SpuddGaming ah ok, wasn't quite sure since no other videos showed the unboxing process from what I found
I tend to always try to include it but in this case it’s likely not going to be the final result and most people probably didn’t as the only things in there were the device and charger 😅
Do it got a 144hz like lenovo legion go?
120hz
I hope Lenovo is taking notes on the Ram size! Need at least 24gb on the LeGo 2
Hot take 7-7.5” is a sweet spot for HANDHELD gaming devices. Anything more is entering tablet range. Also HUGE shoutout to the speakers in these devices. They are absolutely insane. Seriously, I want over the ear headphones and a soundbar of the same quality lol.
So your preferences are "law"??? 😅😅😅
@@shaolin95 Huh?
The armory crate buttons need to be moved down. I accidentally hit them all the time.
You have ninja turtle fingers
@@firstclaims30 Yep. The ladies love em. Or I just accidentally aim for the wrong button. The armory crate buttons could be easily moved, still on the front face of the machine. Didn’t realize some people would take it personally.
All I wanted was slimmer bezels…
not at that price.
we need an fps comparison
Not allowed to show any benchmarks yet as it’s an early review unit
Nah I’ll stick to deck oled.
Fucked up they still dont give a real stand or case.
see that's what i want
Except customer service is garbage 🤷
So, this is not a review?
Yes it is, it’s a review of everything except for benchmark numbers and figures
The design is not that much cool that has to be only the changes and the battery they should have taken on the screen like the Legion go however legion go more better than these device
needs bigger/ better screen
What a beauty
Hmm I’m loyal to the deck
Everything you wanted, except good support from ASUS 🤣 as much as I want one I refuse to deal with Asus service ever again, nightmare for decades, they promise to fix things and never do, perhaps a drop in customers that’s significant with all the UA-camrs blacklisting them will finally fix things then I might spend my money with them, I’m sure they will be popular but DYOR before buying
Wow can i have it!
Im surprised anyone trusts ASUS
While i understand the situation, i prefer asus over other brands. They juat deliver most the time. I have lots of asus products and never faced an issue. Plus when i buy, i just go for my store warranty so i dint deal with asus rma anyways.
Im surprised to find another simp that has no fking idea what they're talking about
Yikes, im surprised another simp that has no fki!n idea what they're talking about.
I trust no company and as long as I can mod the device I can fix it if needed.
It's the same thing every other computer company does. If you're worried about the customer service, use a credit card that has an extra, independent warranty attached to it.
shudda made it 8"
5-20 years old games about 40% of them are not working because of new microsoft bullshit rules to block old security systems and lots of problems, which require NVIDIA PhysX. Hardware could be good, but software is awful
after I just got the ally LOL
No xgm port so no go for me
👌
😁
People are gross, clean your handheld regardless the color
Already outdated by the upcoming MSI CLAW8
Why handheld industry is going too fast, it's becoming boooooring now!!!
It is better in every way. Just because its not in white, doesnt make it less perfect. Your biased opinion doesnt matter. If you like your whites to go yellow over time, no one's going to debate with you. It's your preference. EVERYBODY else likes it in black. You don't have to remind everyone of your biased opinion, since facts overweigh opinions.
Bro typed out an entire paragraph about the colour choice 🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀
Please try the last of us
