The ROG Ally range takes a step further with a new powered-up version that aims to be the ultimate laptop for Xbox and PC. ASUS is preparing the ROG Xbox Ally X, a direct evolution of the original model that not only improves in power but also in autonomy, connectivity, and storage capacity. But, is it worth the leap compared to the standard ROG Xbox Ally? Let’s take a look.

The original model had already won over gamers who want to take their Xbox Game Pass library and PC titles anywhere. With Windows 11 as the operating system and a design inspired by Xbox controllers, it offered a portable experience without sacrificing comfort. Now, the new version arrives with improvements that could make a difference for those seeking a more prepared device for long sessions and demanding tasks.

According to the leak, the new laptops would arrive in October with estimated prices of €599 for the ROG Xbox Ally and €899 for the ROG Xbox Ally X, although ASUS has not officially confirmed these details yet.

Which one suits you best?

If you’re the type who wants to play anywhere without worrying about running out of battery and wants a device prepared for demanding games, the ROG Xbox Ally X is the most complete choice: more RAM, more storage, a larger battery, and USB4 connection with Thunderbolt 4 support.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a lighter and more affordable option without sacrificing the Xbox Game Pass and PC title experience on a portable device, the original ROG Xbox Ally is still a great alternative, especially for those who don’t need maximum power. Both consoles can be found directly in the Xbox Store, and by running Windows 11, they offer full access to the Game Pass catalog, as well as compatibility with multiple gaming platforms.

My Personal Verdict

After seeing the specifications and the leap proposed by the X version, I have it pretty clear. If my goal were to play all my Game Pass and PC titles with the greatest comfort possible and without worrying too much about the battery, I’d go straight for the ROG Xbox Ally X. It’s more expensive, yes, but those 24 GB of RAM, the 1 TB SSD, and the 80 Wh battery make a huge difference in a portable device designed for daily use.

Now, if your budget is tighter or you don’t need that much extra power, the standard ROG Xbox Ally is still very attractive. With a price of €599 and a practically identical design, it still offers a complete Xbox experience, perfect for those who want to take the leap into portable gaming without spending too much.

In my case, with the hours I spend playing outside the house, I’d bet on the Ally X without hesitation, especially thinking about the autonomy and extra performance it would guarantee me smoother and uninterrupted gameplay.
