First look and impressions on the ASUS ROG Ally X. There are a lot of things to love about this handheld and there are definitely a lot of things that I love. That being said, there are a few things I wish were here, but we were able to learn a lot about what makes the ASUS ROG Ally tick.

Ask questions below so I can add them to the full review.

    Thanks Baldly Rudy, I have preordered mine at least to secure a unit until I have had more time to think this decision through. This video gave me a lot of insights on what to expect and by the sound of it, it would better respond to what my preferences are. Thanks for this showcase, great video!

    The same company that lied about damage to skip out on the repair, jack up the cost for no reason, then threaten to ship it back in pieces if you dont pay up, all for a janky thumb stick, that they never even fixed. No, no thanks. That was only one of many stories, i dont want to be one
  • I've just bought the original Ally, as it was on offer. The micro SD slot doesn't work. I'm very pleased to say I'll be taking it to the store, and not dealing with ASUS.
  • @stvnoahc7249
    I preordered my original ally. So guess what? I’ll never buy another asus handheld again in my life. There are other choices, they aren’t getting my money anymore.
  • How well does sleep work on handheld devices? If you're playing a game purchased from steam, can you put the device to sleep and instantly continue where you left off 4 hours later? Will the device drain battery during its sleep state?
  • @ElieUnknown
    I already pre orderd the asus tog ally x but after watching all of these reviews and stuff im recosidering
  • @hrzn202
    When will the review be comimg out? Any guesstimates?
  • @cole6383
    Do you perhaps know if the Asus Rog Ally X battery can be used in the older Rog ally Z1?
  • @figbyfig5592
    Personally i had to rma twice for a screen defect on my rog ally amd they replaced the panel twice free of charge
  • @ericnurko
    Are there actually any good USB4 compatible eGPUs out there? I would love the idea of getting a portable with an eGPU and have the single unit be both my portable and desktop PC, but cost aside, does the hardware even exist to make that possible?
  • @EXITONEZ
    I would like to know if that 80whr battery would fit in the OG ally 😉
  • @frankshotta8576
    I’d like to know if this would be better then the ayoneo kun
  • @ConnorORya
    I preordered mine, now its just a waiting game
  • @NoonMight
    When I’m viewing a “new updated product” (Asus Ally X) i don’t want to hear the phrase “it’s exactly the same” to the original product (Asus ally)
  • New to these but for gaming on the go can I play my purchased xbox games like assassins creed 3 or do I need to have gamepass. Thanks, newb when it comes to these things.
  • @hotdognobun
    I already ordered a 4tb ssd for the X. Can't wait for this system
  • @ Baldy Rudy i love ❤️ your channel. Live within the UK 🇬🇧 ✨️ & have a Steam Deck 😉. I love how this can play anything without fuss 😆 Windows 🪟 properly which is a win win. 🏆 Was wondering with all that Ram & turbo boost mode. A big plus ➕️ for me is whether games 🎮 like Cyberpunk 2077 & Elden Ring can be played in Ultra Graphics. Possibly with Ray Tracing assets. Can the X handle it without additional hardware. If it's £800 quid I'd see it as probs a good investment. Quickly turning into a handheld collector. What do you feel . Need your advice or help
  • @Bxwizkid
    Did they finally fix the micro sd issue? thanks
  • @Omar-cj7zw
    Got both Ally and Legion go, i wish if Ally software engineers meet with Legion hardware engineers and create one machine.
  • Really interested in the device, I am currently within the 60 day period for best buy on my rog ally z1 extreme. I have to return it by July 6th to be able to return it. I think it's worth returning and getting the new one but would love your thoughts. Also would love to hear your thoughts on how much of a difference I can expect in performance, I play games like fortnite, Baldur's Gate 3, Horizon Forbidden West, Rocket League, Elden Ring, Assassin's Creed Black Flag and more. Also where would the balance be between the allocation of ram vs vram, wish it was 32 gb but still solid improvement.
