My own time with the brilliant ROG Ally X has sadly come to an end with my review unit going back, but it's certainly left a mark. As a Steam Deck owner from the very earliest weeks, it took until now to finally try a Windows-powered alternative.
The device itself is incredible. The design, the ergonomics, the hardware, and especially the display, all feel like a significant step up from my trusty Steam Deck. But ignoring the price, I still don't think I'd buy one. It has one problem that, unfortunately, ASUS can't overcome by itself, despite the company's best efforts to this point.
