The ROG Ally Xthe portable console that ASUS has presented in COMPUTEX It maintains SoC and screen, but everything else is improved.
The big problem with this console was its autonomy, with all eyes focusing on the 40 Wh it initially had. ASUS has addressed the problem, listened to the community and given it double the battery with about 80 Wh total. The only thing that remains unchanged is the SoC and the screen, while the RAM and storage have been greatly improved and the measurements are smaller.
ASUS ROG Ally X, the portable console called to be your ally
We might think that this is a limited or “lite” version of the ASUS ROG Ally, but it is much better than the original. ASUS has presented us with a version whose pillars are the same:
- 7″ FHD screen with 120 Hz500 nits and Dolby Vision.
- AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme.
- Windows 11 with 3 free months of Xbox Game Pass.
What has changed is focused on storage, which we will now have up to 1TB M.2 2280 of SSD; RAM memory, with 24 GB LPDDR5X at 7500 MHz; he double batterywhich goes from 40 to 80Wh; the inclusion of USB 4 with DP 1.4 and smaller measures.
Asus confirms that there will be important improvements in cooling in this new model, it seems true, since our colleague Miguel Ángel Navas confirms that it is more robust and they have inserted a central grille in the rear to better evacuate heat.
In our first contact, we realized that after 24 hours of the event at Computex 2024, the console was not hot. The Rog Ally X has a lot of promise.
They claim to have improved airflow by 24% cutting up to 6 degrees of temperature, as well as integrated longer lasting joysticks. We will have Dolby Atmos on the built-in speakers for much more precise sound.
They have also emphasized that the ASUS ROG Ally X adapter incorporates 140W fast charging via USB-C, not bad! And now we have 2 USB-C on the console. They have taken advantage of the fact that they were going to present a new console to improve Armory Crate SE V1.5 with a more intuitive interface, new features and more customization.
We recommend the ASUS ROG Ally review which we analyzed on the day of its launch.
According to ASUS, we can play in 1080p at more than 60 FPS in Starfield with the same SoC, I understand that by fiddling with the settings. Will it overthrow Steam Deck?
