Flagship version of Asus's handheld console, created in partnership with Microsoft as part of the "Everything Is Xbox" initiative. The ROG Xbox Ally X model has inherited all the strengths of the original version but is designed for more demanding players who want a more robust power reserve and slightly more battery life. Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is positioned as a universal solution for those who want to get the power of a gaming PC in a portable console body—without compromises on image quality and performance.
The console is built on the latest AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, complemented by 24 GB RAM and a larger battery, allowing the device to confidently handle AAA games at 1080p resolution and stable framerate. The screen remains the same as the base version: a 7-inch IPS display with 1080p resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and VRR support ensures clear and smooth images without frame tearing.
Ergonomics have also been perfected: updated sticks and bumpers have become more precise and responsive, and the chassis has improved weight distribution, slightly enhancing the convenience of using the console during long sessions. For connectivity, there are USB4, USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2), a 3.5 mm jack, as well as modern Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 modules. All of this runs on a version of Windows 11 optimized for a compact touchscreen.
Essentially, it's not a portable Xbox, but an adapted version of Windows 11 with access to Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and other gaming services, but without the ability to run games from Xbox Series X/S. However, the use of a custom Xbox Interface shell is intended to bring the user experience closer to that of a console. The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X stands out by offering gaming PC power in a portable form, allowing for seamless AAA gaming with a 1080p resolution and stable framerate, supported by its top-tier processor and larger battery.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

The Fastest Hand in the Wild West
Asus ROG Xbox Ally X — a flagship portable console, created in collaboration with Microsoft under the Everything Is Xbox program, integrating PC gaming and the Xbox ecosystem. This model is an evolution of the original Ally, featuring more powerful hardware, an increased battery, and improved ergonomics. As a result, we have a device for those who want a full-fledged gaming PC in a portable format. The Ally X effortlessly runs modern AAA titles at 1080p with high and stable frame rates, without sacrificing graphic quality. However, despite its name, the console is not an Xbox and is not compatible with the Xbox Games library.
Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Processor with RDNA 3 Graphics and 24 GB RAM
The system is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip with RDNA 3 graphics, complemented by 24 GB of RAM and a high-speed 1 TB SSD. This setup delivers a level of performance previously available only in powerful laptops. The 7-inch display with a Full HD resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and VRR support provides a clear image without frame tearing. The increased battery capacity significantly enhances autonomy, one of the key improvements over the previous version. In terms of design and assembly, the Ally X feels premium, featuring excellent speakers, improved sticks and triggers, and a balanced body. However, weighing over 700 grams makes the device one of the heaviest in its class—by comparison, the Steam Deck OLED with a larger display weighs about 100 grams less.
Custom Interface Based on Windows 11 with Xbox Interface
Asus ROG Xbox Ally X runs on an adapted version of Windows 11 with an Xbox-style interface, creating a familiar console gaming atmosphere. However, the software part has become a weak link: the interface is not always intuitive, the system occasionally lags, and Windows itself actively drains the battery. Some users also report random reboots and micro-freezes. After flashing to Linux, the console shows significant improvement—the autonomy increases, and performance in games boosts by nearly 30%, ensuring a smoother frame rate. We hope Microsoft addresses these issues and perfects the system, as software shortcomings are a matter of time and updates.
