ASUS Unveils Enhanced ROG Ally X Handheld Game Console

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced the availability of its new handheld game console, the ROG Ally X. Designed for enhanced Windows 11 gaming, the ROG Ally X features numerous hardware upgrades, including an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 1 TB SSD storage, 24 GB DDR5-7500 RAM, and an 80Wh battery, doubling the previous model’s capacity.

The ROG Ally X offers improved ergonomics with a redesigned black chassis, deeper handles, and more ergonomic button and stick placement. The joysticks are upgraded for durability with a 5 million cycle lifespan, and the D-Pad now supports precise 8-direction input.

The device features two USB Type-C ports, including one Thunderbolt-compatible, replacing the XG Mobile port for better connectivity with third-party docks and external GPUs. Thermal improvements include 23% smaller fans with 50% thinner blades, new airflow tunnels, and an additional exhaust vent, increasing air volume by 24% and cooling the touchscreen by up to 6 °C.
