Review Asus  ROG Xbox Ally X by ActuGaming
The possibility to play thousands of games on the go in good conditions.
Performances really at the top (and some compromises)
Significantly improved ergonomics and top-notch design
An autonomy finally adapted
Very pleasant over time despite the imposing weight (715g)
The support of upscaling techniques by artificial intelligence
The customization allowed by Armory Crate SE
The Xbox Full Screen mode, a pleasant surprise
Presence of two USB-C ports
Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and Bluetooth 5.4
Very high level sound quality thanks to Dolby Atmos
No OLED screen
The ABXY buttons are always too noisy.
The noise of the fans is quite noticeable in Turbo mode.
A well-managed but surprising warm-up at the beginning
The justified price (899?) but it will deter the general public
Still no Hall effect on the joysticks
Fingerprints are very present in touch.
No charger in the box (due to EU regulations)

Review Asus  ROG Xbox Ally X by Multiplayer.it
The design of the handles is excellent and makes the machine very comfortable despite its weight.
Incredibly efficient in terms of consumption and therefore autonomy.
Even under stress, she always remains very quiet.
Excellent the audio sector
The screen is more than ever a discordant note among all the components.
Windows 11 Gaming is still in its early stages and many compromises are still noticeable.
We were expecting a more significant improvement in performance with the maximum preset.
Not having a charger in the packaging is, at the very least, unpleasant.

More ergonomic and comfortable design
The Z2 Extreme is much more efficient, in low power mode it manages to outperform its predecessor in Turbo mode.
24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of SSD
He maintains the price of the previous generation.
Interface suitable for the portable console
The cardboard support remains a very basic addition. An integrated foldable support would be appreciated.
We were expecting a more spectacular leap in raw performance.
There are no improvements on the screen.

Review Asus  ROG Xbox Ally X by JeuxActu.com
A technical monster under the hood! Incredible ergonomics. Pleasantly surprised by the screen definition. Very good finishes. Good PC compatibility (all Windows games, multiple launchers). Very good and immersive sound, powerful volume. Huge potential in the long term if the interface and OS are improved. Complete connectivity. Fast loading.
This is not a real portable Xbox console, but a Windows 11 PC disguised as one. The interface is cumbersome and confusing. Windows 11 is not suitable for a portable format. Insufficient battery life for heavy games. The directional pad is really bad. We would have liked an OLED screen at this price. Thick borders around the screen. No charger provided.
