Asus ROG Xbox Ally X: price, release date, specs and everything you need to know

The Xbox handheld we've been waiting for is being made in collaboration with Asus

Delving into the numbers, we can see that the ROG Xbox Ally X model has much more powerful internals, with AMD's new flagship Ryzen Z2 AI Extreme chip inside. The ROG Xbox Ally X also has Microsoft's clever impulse triggers inside for trigger-based rumble in supported titles, while both models have Hall Effect analog sticks for more precise inputs, and run Windows 11 Home with Microsoft's new handheld-first Xbox interface for easy navigation into games. The handhelds are intended for different audiences, though, with the Switch 2 having a lot more to appeal to casual and console players, with simple expandable storage via MicroSD Express, the Joy-Con 2's fun mouse mode and Nintendo's recognizable IP.
