Our take on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X

The ROG Xbox Ally X is ASUS's Windows 11 handheld built with Microsoft's Xbox team: a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz screen, a Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip, 24GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, with Xbox full-screen mode on top of Windows. It has two USB-C ports, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and a headphone jack, and it runs Game Pass, Steam and other PC stores. It sits at the top of the handheld market on power and storage, above the standard Xbox Ally and the Steam Deck, and owners say the screen and interface justify the size.

Questions and answers

How is it different from the standard Xbox Ally?: The X has the faster Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip, 24GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 120Hz screen. The standard Ally uses a lower-tier chip, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.
How long does the battery last?: Expect roughly two to four hours in most games and less in demanding titles. Lowering the TDP and frame rate stretches it further.
Can it run Steam and Game Pass games?: Yes. It runs Windows 11, so Steam, Epic, Battle.net and Xbox Game Pass all work, and Xbox full-screen mode gives a console-style launcher.
What is in the box?: The console, a 65W USB-C power adapter and a quick-start guide. A dock and carrying case are sold separately.
Is the ROG Xbox Ally X worth it?: If you want a handheld that runs Game Pass, Steam and other PC stores with a 120Hz screen, it is one of the fastest options. If you mostly play lighter indie games, a cheaper handheld does the job.
Does it have Ethernet?: Yes, a gigabit Ethernet port, but only through a USB-C dock. On its own it connects over Wi-Fi 6E or Bluetooth 5.2.
Where is the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X cheapest?: At Best Buy, for $999.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X?: Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 25 ratings.
Where can I buy the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X?: 2 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, Asus.
