Review consensus

What reviewers say about the ROG Xbox Ally X

Reviewers rank the ROG Xbox Ally X among the best Windows handhelds available. The Xbox-style grips and the full-screen Xbox interface get the most praise, and the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme runs a little faster than the 2024 Ally X. The $999.99 price, the unchanged 1080p IPS screen and roughly two to three hours of battery in demanding games hold it back.
