The original ROG Ally handheld gaming PC is barely a year old but Asus felt the need to give it a raft of much-needed updates and rename it as the ROG Ally X. Most of the internals remain the same—an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme still powers it—but the most notable changes fix just about everything that wasn't great with the initial version.
While reasonable enough in size, the 40 Wh battery and 512 GB SSD in the first Ally were hard limits to how many games you could store on the Ally and how long you could use it. Asus has doubled both figures for the X variant and it's now far more convenient to use as a gaming machine.
