The ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X are now available for pre-order — launching on October 16 at $599 (£499) and $999 (£799) respectively. That is indeed a steep price (especially on the X). But given the demand, I don’t see these hanging around for long.
In my book, these are hands-down two of the best Windows 11 gaming handhelds you can buy right now. And trust me — the performance boost you get when you kick that bloated desktop OS to the curb is almost shocking. The AMD Ryzen Z2A in the standard Ally breezes through indie games (and even dips its toes into AAA waters), while the Ryzen Z2 AI Extreme is basically a monster that chews through blockbusters like it’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
