🔋 Double the Battery Life: With an 80 watt-hour battery, the ROG Ally X lets you game longer and harder without constantly needing a recharge.

🎮 Enhanced Performance: Equipped with 24GB of faster LPDDR5 memory and a full-length M.2 2280 PCIe 4 SSD slot, this device is built for speed and efficiency. Experience up to 15% better performance with its upgraded 7500MHz memory.

🖥️ Same Stunning Display: Enjoy the same 7-inch 48-120Hz VRR IPS screen as the original, but with improved power profiles for smoother gameplay.

🕹️ Improved Controls: Featuring a revamped 8-way D-pad, better thumb sticks, and larger L and R triggers, the ROG Ally X offers a superior gaming experience.

🔌 Modern Connectivity: Say goodbye to proprietary ports! The ROG Ally X includes two USB-C ports, one with Thunderbolt 4 support, allowing for flexible and powerful connectivity options.

❄️ Better Cooling, Less Noise: The new, smaller, and lighter fans with a redesigned air tunnel provide better cooling while reducing noise.

📏 Sleek Design: Despite its powerful upgrades, the ROG Ally X maintains a sleek and comfortable design, only slightly heavier than the original.

🔧 Mod-Friendly: Easily replace parts like the joystick tops and enjoy the improved grip texture with “ROG” texturing.

🔍 Warranty and Trust Issues: We also address Asus’ current warranty and customer service concerns, emphasizing the need for transparency and improvement.

🌟 Final Thoughts: The ROG Ally X is a substantial mid-cycle refresh with numerous improvements, especially in battery life and ergonomics. However, Asus must address warranty and trust issues to make it a truly recommendable product.

    Thats why you get bestbuy total tech and you can get as many replacements as you want, I've never had a single issue and I was the first one to actually start modding the Ally
  • @JamieR
    As long as this device is purchased from a third-party seller it's a no brainer. Not worth an upgrade from the OG, but as a first time buyer this device is going to make many people happy. Let's just hope it won't have many flaws this time around.
  • @all_Hallows_
    What a story🤯 That customer service from Valve>>>>>>>>>> and continues to be a constant across the board within the myriad of these videos that have kept me up late (for longer than I'd like to admit) trying to find the best option amongst all the variations. Thank you for a great video🙏🏻🤘🏻
  • @deiradinn
    Underrated video and channel, great job man. I think MS will come out with an Xbox handheld with possibly Steam in it.
  • @WesGrayClan
    Thanks for the review, I own a Asus ROG laptop and would definitely be interested in the Ally X.
  • @thundergato84
    I'm glad I waited. I'll definitely be buying a ROG Ally X. I'm not worried about the warranty because I have a Best Buy Total membership.
  • 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, Cyber Punk, 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. Love the bigger battery life. Also, I bought for my rog ally extreme a 2 tb SSD when I got it as well. Wondering what you think?
  • @dementedp
    Can’t wait to see your review about the ROG Ally X. Was about to buy a Oled Steam Deck but now I’ll have to wait. Also I hope Asus fixed the SD card issue the Ally has.
  • Eh gonna stick with my current ally. Got gifted the egpu 4090 for the bday and I’ve been having a blast with it
  • @PapaZigg
    I chose oled steamdeck over og ally and legion go. But with the ally x, im a little tempted
  • @cedtv8899
    What happened we suppose to be LOYAL TO STEAM DECK BRO
  • @cedtv8899
    Bro csn you run godfall on steamdeck
  • @easymoney480
    idk, I think he exaggerated Valve's customer support. I had a similar issue and valve basically told me to buy and iFixit kit and good luck, which is fair because I broke my steam deck and they shouldn't reward me for that... but no they are not going to just send out replacement steam decks left and right. he must have caught the customer support person on a very good day
  • @NofaceCODM6
    Not gonna lie I’m lowkey thinking about ether buys a gaming console and save up for the ally x
  • @MaknGuy
    Just for you to know. If you feel broke. You can get it at bbs for 659 dollars 😂😂😂
  • @mrb3991
    HI I am not sure about upgrading too the new version, my Rog ally micro SD Died a month after warranty expired and Asus wouldn't honor an RMA, so i just put a 4tb drive in it and called it a Day 👍👍
  • @a.n.3284
    €899 in Belgium. €899 = $973. Almost a 1000 dollars. That's not fair. Now I'm.certainly won't buy it...
  • @diffusion-ai
    And maybe, just maybe, one day you'll learn it's not called the 'rogue ally' ;)
