TL;DR

Linus takes the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally X for a spin, marveling at how Microsoft slapped the “Xbox” badge on a Windows handheld—and giving us full teardown, software quirks, hardware deep-dives, benchmarks and battery-life tests. The X model’s Windows Handheld mode feels snappy, the internals are impressive, and despite a hefty price tag it slots in pretty well against other premium PC gaming handhelds.

Verdict

It’s an expensive device, but if you want high-end portable PC gaming with official Xbox vibes and solid battery life, the Ally X is one of the most competitive options out there—just be ready to shell out for the hardware and dabble in some software growing pains.
