TL;DR

The ROG Xbox Ally X is Asus’s new Windows-based handheld aimed at PC gamers—complete with “Xbox” branding, Windows Handheld mode, and beefy internals. Linus walks through the custom software tweaks, hardware design, and even peels it apart in a full teardown.

After running benchmarks and battery-life tests, he finds the X model expensive but competitively priced against rivals like the Steam Deck. In the end, it delivers solid performance and versatility—just at a premium.
