ROG Xbox Ally X Review – Is the $1000 Handheld Worth It?

In today’s video, I’m reviewing the ROG Xbox Ally X, the new $1000 Xbox-branded handheld from ASUS. This is a full, honest breakdown of how the Ally X performs, what it handles well, and the issues you should know about before buying it. I cover the build quality, controls, software experience, battery life, and real in-game performance across multiple AAA titles. The ROG Ally X is easily one of the most powerful handheld gaming devices available right now — but is it actually worth the price? In this review, I compare the ROG Ally X vs Steam Deck, talk about the improvements over the original ROG Ally, and go over the things I didn’t like, such as the buttons, quirks with Windows, and some random bugs I ran into. If you’re trying to decide between the ROG Ally X, the Steam Deck, or another handheld gaming PC, this video will help you figure out which one is the better buy for you.
