High-performance AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. AMD RDNA 3 graphics (12 cores, 2.7 GHz). Zero Gravity cooling. Full HD display at 120 Hz. RGB backlight. 80 Wh battery

The portable gaming system ROG Ally X is an updated version of the original model ROG Ally Z1, which was released in 2023. Despite using the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, the device has received a number of improvements that make it even more powerful and convenient for gamers. One of the key updates is the 7-inch touch display with 1080p resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 500 cd/m² brightness, providing a more enjoyable gaming experience whether playing at home or outdoors on a sunny day.

The internals of the ROG Ally X have been refined: the portable console now features 24 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM and a larger M.2 2280 format SSD with 1 TB capacity, allowing for storage of a broader game library without the need for constant deletion. ROG Ally X is equipped with a larger 80 Wh battery, which according to the manufacturer, should almost double its battery life.

Meanwhile, the device's weight has only increased by 70 grams to a total of 678 g. Regarding design, Asus has made several changes: the body is now in an elegant black color, and the joystick durability has been enhanced. Additionally, the cooling system has become more efficient, reducing heat during the launch of particularly demanding games. One of the most significant changes is the abandonment of the proprietary ROG XG connector for attaching external graphics cards. Instead, a universal USB4 is now used, expanding device compatibility with peripherals and allowing connection of various external accessories. The ROG Ally X uses Windows 11 as its operating system, supporting all the most popular gaming platforms and services, including Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, and GOG.

Popular questions

Verified yesterday, Mykola Boberskyi

What is the difference between the Asus ROG Ally X and the regular ROG Ally?

Version X retains the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, but features 24 GB of RAM instead of 16 GB and an 80 Wh battery instead of 40 Wh. In addition, it has improved cooling and an extra USB-C port.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Can the Asus ROG Ally X handle demanding AAA games at 1080p?

Yes, many demanding games run at an acceptable frame rate. In Cyberpunk 2077 at ultra settings, the device delivered around 31 fps, while in Hitman 3 it achieved approximately 55 fps at 1080p. For higher performance, you can lower the resolution and enable RSR, sacrificing a little sharpness.Source:Expert reviews

Is the Asus ROG Ally X screen suitable for fast-paced gaming?

Yes, the 7-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate handles fast motion well. Peak brightness is rated at 500 nits, so the image remains clear in a brightly lit room. The compact screen size also helps prevent the graphics from being overburdened by an excessively high resolution.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

How long does the charge last in demanding games?

The Asus ROG Ally X lasted about 3–4 hours in Yakuza 0 at 1080p resolution and approximately 80% brightness. Battery life depends on the game and performance mode, so maximum load drains the device faster.Source:Expert reviews

Do you need a keyboard and mouse for the Asus ROG Ally X?

They are not essential for gaming and everyday navigation. The right stick controls the pointer, while the trigger and bumper replace the mouse buttons, and the on-screen keyboard can be opened through Command Center. When initially setting up Windows and installing several apps, a keyboard and mouse can speed up the process.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews

Won’t the console be too heavy to play with while holding it?

The Asus ROG Ally X weighs 0.68 kg and has a body width of 280 mm. It is convenient to carry as a portable device, but during extended gaming sessions without support, this weight will be felt more noticeably than that of lighter mobile gadgets.Source:Specifications

Does the screen get very hot during extended gameplay?

The Asus ROG Ally X screen remains cool even after several hours of gaming thanks to the redesigned air duct and additional hot-air exhaust. Heat is more noticeable near the buttons and ports on the top edge, where the ventilation airflow exits.Source:Expert reviews
