Q: QuestionSo is this just a better version of the other rog?(10 answers)
A: Answeryes, there are some real benefits to consider. Now you have two USB's, one being USB4. That means any E-GPU will work. Saves a ton of money with an increase of performance in that regard. Easy to install NVNM memory and its full size. Not to mention the increase from 512g to 1TB. Massive increase in Ram and the speed of ram is on par with Legion Go. You will see increase in FPS in some games. Not to mention overall increase in windows performance. The battery is now 80 watts, meaning twice the power. So double the gaming time on the go. They are saying 3 hours of heavy gaming now. There is a slight increase in size due to this. The buttons and joy sticks are better as well. Sd card slot moved to a different spot and overall better thermals. If you are looking for a new device and don't have an old Ally. This would be the one to get. If you can return or sell at a decent price the og Ally I would consider this. They fixed a lot of the issues the og faced.Answered by Branimal
- A: AnswerNo, this is a hybrid console not strictly designed for gaming, it be used for surfing the web, email, listening to music, etc.

- A: AnswerYou can trade it in for a credit. But you can't get full retail for what you paid. If you have the extreme version it's like 180.00 trade credit.
Answered by Great
- A: AnswerAny game that doesn't require an online connection will play just fine with no internet. Think... Windows 11 gaming laptop... everything you can do on that, you can do on this device, it's basically a gaming computer but in a hand held form factor.
Answered by drumnbass
- A: AnswerIf you set it to max the charge out at 80%, then you will have no issue with keeping it plugged in all the time, my Z1 Extreme Ally has no issues with this.
Answered by Realist
- A: AnswerYou can download and play any game that you would on a gaming PC. You can use steam, gog, epic games etc. So pretty much anything you can run on a windows computer , you can run on the ROG Ally X.
Answered by GalaxyTechReview
- A: AnswerI would reach out to the manufacture. The system comes with a one year warranty. The first thing I would check is to make sure windows is up to date and and your hardware drivers and firmware are the latest. Depending on the game you may need to reduce the graphics settings of the game in order to play. I had the same problem with CyberPunk.
Answered by Mike
- A: AnswerStorage is upgradeable and very easy to do. 6 Phillips screws and one ribbon cable to take the back panel off. ASUS has a very good video and worded guide on how to upgrade the storage. Id describe it as a Windows 11 laptop with a controller strapped onto it so changing OS isn't a problem at all. I've had Linux running on it at one point and worked just fine and if something ever gets bugged up during the install ASUS cloud recovery in the UEFI BIOS works really really well to get it back to stock. There are aftermarket options for swapping out joysticks and buttons if you desire to, but personally I find the stock ones to work just fine. Xbox controller support is fully integrated into Windows 11 so wired and wireless works great. As far as PS and other's I know there is some support for other controllers but may or may not require driver downloads and what not to get to work. Speakers are decent/impressive for what is shoved in such a tight space. id say id compare them to my iPhone 15 ProMax's but slightly less Low End Bass. Most games run just fine but may require some settings adjustments and tinkering to run at your preference. Most AAA games run very well at medium to low settings if you prefer stable FPS over visuals.

Best Windows based handheld on the market!
I owned the first Ally, and I absolutely love it. But one thing that was a huge downfall was the battery life. The Rog Ally X addresses that with a battery almost double the size. Now this device can get you through a long gaming session at the highest performance. You can play most AAA titles with no problem with this device. Also, 1080p on a screen this size looks fantastic. The joysticks are also upgraded on this over the original Ally. They tweaked a couple more things such as faster RAM and also uses a full size SSD (2280) which gives you more options for faster storage. This was a welcoming upgrade, and I think this is the best overall handheld device on the market at this time (01/2025). I bought this at launch, as I did with the original Ally, and since launch, many great accessories have become available, such as the Dbrand killswitch case and also 2 brands of hall effect joysticks, both of which I have installed and highly recommend. The hall effect joysticks are a great upgrade over the original so you can avoid (or fix) stick drift, I would recommend buying them right away to avoid drift, or you can wear out the originals and get these later on.

ALLY X...
The ROG Ally X is undeniably powerful, with its 24 GB of RAM, and 1 TB SSD making it capable of handling even the most demanding games. The 1080p display with a 120 Hz refresh rate delivers impressive visuals, and the extended battery life is a welcome improvement. I also appreciate its versatility—running Windows 11 means I can access multiple game libraries without being locked into one ecosystem. However, my experience has been mixed. While Windows 11 offers flexibility, it’s not designed for handheld gaming, and navigating the interface can be frustrating. The device is also bulkier and heavier than I expected, which makes it less comfortable to use for extended periods. For something marketed as portable, it feels a bit cumbersome to carry around. The price is another sticking point. While the performance is impressive, I can’t help but feel that it’s overpriced, especially when other options like the Steam Deck offer similar functionality for less. Overall, while the ROG Ally X delivers in power and features, its awkward design and high cost leave me a bit underwhelmed.

Hands down the best handheld gaming PC
Best handheld pc you can buy right now. Screen is nice and bright with decent color accuracy. The sound has been upgraded over the original. Ergonomics are greatly improved and the device feels great in my hands even during long gaming sessions. The extra ram at higher frequency allows you to play current triple A titles at low-medium settings at 720-900p resolution and get 30-60fps. The triggers and buttons feel better compared to the original rog ally, dpad is improved as well. The sd card issues are fixed with the move, the extra usb port is nice addition as well. Double the storage as well, I’ve currently got 22 titles downloaded to mine. Device is mostly quiet even under load, they can get a bit loud under heavy loads but that can be fixed and rarely happens to me. Finally the biggest improvement for a handheld system, the bigger battery and the improved battery performance. I’ve gotten 2-3 hours playing triple A titles and 4-5 playing smaller indie titles. All around a great iteration of the Rog ally and worth the purchase.
