The ASUS ROG Ally X is the mid-gen refresh of the original ROG Ally. In many ways, the ROG Ally X fixed many of the original's issues. In my eyes, most of my issues were fixed. Despite the problems that the ROG Ally had with its microSD card, this seems to be a winner on many fronts. Would you guys get an ROG Ally X?

  • I've had my Z1X Ally for the past 8 months and it's been great for me, i even took it to work on some dead weekend days to blast through my steam backlog. I can't justify upgrading to the Ally X because of budget constraints but my opinion is that this is the only Ally they should've released. Just saying.
  • @Hayden120
    Have you tried testing the sleep/resume function while running games? I'm hearing that Asus have improved the way it is managed by Armory Crate in 1.5. I'm curious to know if games can reliably be suspended without crashing or the device randomly waking up.
  • does it have an ambient light sensor so the brightness could adjust according to environment light?
  • @bassderek
    Iā€™ve been on the fence. I really want the ergo and battery Improvements but donā€™t know if I can justify the cost since I only paid $400 for my OG Z1X.
  • @kmorris4140
    Genuine question, how long does the battery last? Iā€™m looking at getting this or the steam deck? Thanks.
  • @tyronepalma3854
    this does seem cool and i would definitely pick this up if i didn't already have a sd oled and if not for the asus controversy which makes me a bit nervous purchasing their products
  • @sventibold
    I LOVE my Ally Z1 extreme, with all her flaws šŸ˜…
  • @barkermush7147
    As you've had it for a while, what's like playing plugged in? I ask because I don't like the location of those usb ports, right infront of the heat exhaust vents. We know how much heat the original Ally gives off. So having your power lead going over that exhaust vent surely can't be good? Won't it end up with overheating the charging cable or even the actual charging port? At least on the original Ally, the usb port is in the center, between those 2 heat exhausts.
  • @AwfulMartian1
    Canā€™t wait for the ally x. I returned the z1x only because it was in the return window when they announced the x.
  • Nice Video And Info, My Biggest Fear With The Ally Is Their Customer Service Trying To Scam Customers On Repairs That Have Been Going On All Over YouTube. I Decided To Go With The 1TB Steam Deck Oled. Maybe I'll Pick This One Up In The Future...
  • @Saif0412
    Setting refreshrate at 120 hz doesn't really drain more battery than at 60hz, because Freesync is only enabled at 120hz and screen matches the game fps whilst reducing stutter and tearing. Good preview otherwise šŸ‘šŸ½
  • @D.Middzz
    I was looking at the Lenovo Legion Go, but since this was announced, should I wait for this instead?
  • @inflamesv
    Bro do you know if this will be usable with 24V charger in car?
  • @juan150
    Nicely done, thanks for the review, very useful šŸ˜Š
  • @Rhoody
    Iā€™m trying to find out if the hard drive from the first ally will work with the Ally X? Does anyone know?
