ROG Xbox Ally X – A PC Gamer’s Take

Linus dives into Asus’s new handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally X, and admits he’s still not quite sure what makes it an “Xbox,” but he’s here for the Windows Handheld mode upgrade. The X model is definitely pricey, but when you stack it up against the competition, it’s surprisingly competitive—and you get all the usual Linus affiliate links and merch plugs along the way.

He breaks it down in chapters covering software tweaks, hardware specs, a full teardown, real-world benchmarks, and battery life tests before wrapping up with his final verdict. Spoiler: it’s a solid Windows gaming handheld, but whether the Xbox branding adds enough to justify the cost is up to you.
