ROG Xbox Ally X – TL;DR

Asus’s new handheld is basically a Windows PC in a portable shell—complete with full Windows Handheld mode—but they slapped an “Xbox” badge on it and charged a premium. Linus dives into software quirks, hardware build, a full teardown, benchmarks and battery tests, showing it can hang with the competition even if the name feels tacked-on.

If you want a handheld that runs real PC titles on the go, the Ally X delivers solid performance and features… just don’t expect any magic Xbox integration beyond the branding. Chapters cover everything from setup and software to raw benchmarks and battery life, so you can skip straight to what matters most.
