Embark on a Gaming Odyssey: The ASUS ROG Ally X Review

As a gamer on-the-go, I’m always on the lookout for the perfect portable gaming PC. And, let me tell you, the new ASUS ROG Ally X is a beast of a machine that’s got me excited! After being unveiled last month, this handheld gaming powerhouse is now officially available for pre-order ahead of its launch on July 22.

What’s New and Improved?

The ROG Ally X is not a complete redesign, but rather a refinement of its predecessor. ASUS has taken on board the criticism of the original and made some significant improvements. The new model boasts a larger 80Wh battery, double the storage capacity, and faster 7500MHz LPDDR5X memory. These upgrades, combined with the same 7-inch 120HZ VRR 1080p display and AMD Z1 Extreme chipset, make for a more powerful and efficient gaming experience.

Cooling System Overhaul

One of the most notable improvements is the revamped cooling system. ASUS has introduced “antigravity heat pipes,” redesigned fan shrouds, and upgraded dual fans with thinner blades and a fluid dynamic bearing design. This, along with an additional exhaust vent, should keep the touchscreen up to 6°C cooler. This is a massive win for gamers who want to play for hours on end without overheating issues.
