The Xbox ROG Ally X finally has a release date - and we went hands-on at Gamescom


We went hands-on with the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X at Gamescom - here's what we think about its more powerful hardware and streamlined Windows software.

Similarly, performance on the X with the Z2 Extreme chip is a bit of a mystery, with Asus reps unwilling to comment and relatively sparse reports online suggesting a small overall improvement - perhaps around 15 percent. Ideally, you don't need to connect a mouse and keyboard or even use the touchscreen to enter your PIN at login, go through Windows updates, make settings changes and launch games. Long-pressing on the Xbox button brings up a quick switcher, letting you move between different full-screen apps like games and Discord, and there are also iOS-style navigation gestures on the touch screen.
