Asus ROG Xbox Ally X could have some strong competition from the Zotac Zone Pro


And there's a new threat from MSI, too

As per VideoCardz, the brand new Zotac Zone Pro was shown at Gamescom 2025 this past week in Cologne, and comes after previous prototype showcases at both CES and Computex this year. Zotac has also put a 7-inch Full HD 120Hz AMOLED screen in the Zone Pro - a decision that Asus decided against with the ROG Xbox Ally X because of the non-negotiable nature of variable refresh rate in their eyes. It means the Zotac Zone Pro positions itself as an alternative to both Bazzite and SteamOS, which have been two prevailing Linux distros on these gaming handhelds in recent times.
