| Conina said: I'm really tempted to get the ROG Ally X as my first Windows-handheld (complementary to my Steam Deck OLED + Switch OLED). My main complain of the other ROG Ally models always was the mediocre battery life and they now doubled the capacity! Sure, it gets 10% heavier by that, but it's still a lot lighter than the Legion Go and in the ballpark of my Steam Deck LCD. The ergonomic improvements (rounded edges of the case, sticks, d-pad...) and 50% more (and faster) RAM are welcome and the microSD-card-slot is (probably) fixed. Even if the microSD-card-slot should fail after a few years, you can go crazy and upgrade the SSD up to 8 TB. I don't plan to use it docked with an eGPU... but thanks to USB4.0/Thunderbolt such a solution should be also much cheaper than using the proprietary port of the old models. But if you plan to use the ROG Ally X with an eGPU... get an Nvidia-eGPU to avoid Radeon driver conflicts between the internal and external GPU... thanks to The Phawx for that tip! Here some more infos from the whore's mouth (did I use that phrase right?) |
It is tempting but I'll wait till post launch. The original had SDcard problems and I wanna make sure the new one is good since it's also more expensive. It does seem to fix a lot of issues and the software has certainly matured by now so the experience should be a lot better.
