## What reviewers say

All three whitelisted testers (Tom's Hardware, Engadget, TechPowerUp) rate the 2024 ROG Ally X the best Windows handheld at launch, praising its doubled 80Wh battery, 24GB RAM performance gains and comfier grips. All flag the $799 price and clunky Windows. A newer rival (MSI Claw 8) later out-lasted its battery. Excludes the separate 2025 Xbox Ally X. (Based on 3 reviews, 3 lab-tested, 2024-08-02–2025-09-02.)

Praised: Doubled 80Wh battery delivers much longer runtime than the original Ally; 24GB of faster RAM lifts gaming performance on the same Z1 Extreme chip; Improved ergonomics, larger grips and better build comfort; Bright 120Hz 1080p display.
Flagged: $799/$800 price is steep, especially versus the cheaper Steam Deck; Windows 11 still feels clunky with a controller on a small handheld screen; Armoury Crate software remains buggy / less cohesive than SteamOS; No Hall effect joysticks included.
Disagreement: At 2024 launch Tom's Hardware and Engadget called the 80Wh battery best-in-class; TechPowerUp's later Sept 2025 test found it couldn't match the newer MSI Claw 8's runtimes, so the battery advantage eroded as rivals arrived.
