ROG Xbox Ally X – A PC Gamer’s Take

Asus’s new handheld rocks a full Windows Handheld mode and surprisingly solid “Xbox” branding (even if it’s a bit mysterious why Microsoft’s name is slapped on there). The X model packs a beefy custom AMD chip, a snappy display and easy-to-access innards—Linus dives into software quirks, hardware design and a friendly teardown that shows you can actually swap parts if you’re brave.

Performance is impressive (hello, smooth frame rates!), but battery life takes the expected hit once you push settings. It’s pricier than other portables, yet it lands in a competitive spot for PC gamers who want true Windows on the go—solid build, great speeds, just be ready to hunt for an outlet.
