Is the ASUS ROG Ally X a revolution?
Today we present the new ROG Ally X, the replacement for the ROG Ally. What does this evolution offer in the face of increasingly numerous and aggressive competitors?
It’s true that the Steam Deck set the trend for portable consoles, but ASUS with the Ally X, MSI with the Claw, and Lenovo with the Legion Go have all added their own Windows-based portable consoles to the market. Each brings its own innovations, but ASUS is consolidating its first model with improvements in ergonomics, battery and performance.
With improved optimisation and redesigned functions, the ROG Ally X is set to become the benchmark for this fierce competition.
In this article, I’m obviously going to talk to you about the gaming performance and developments of this second version, but that’s not all. With Windows on board and a high-performance chip, this console can be a real adversary to gaming laptops.
