Here are some details about the new Asus ROG Ally X handheld gaming PC :

The device features a 7-inch LCD display that supports up to 1080p resolution and a refresh rate that caps at 120Hz with support for AMD FreeSync Premium.

It uses the Windows 11 operating system and the same AMD Z1 Extreme CPU processors as its predecessor.

The ROG Ally X includes an 80Wh battery, which is double the battery capacity of its predecessor.

It also features 24GB of LPDDR5-7500 RAM and 1TB M.2 2280 SSD storage.

It has dual USB-C ports, one being Thunderbolt 4 compatible and the other supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2.

The device weighs 678g, 68g more than its predecessor, due to the added features and improvements.

It is now available for pre-order at Best Buy, retailing for $799.99.

 Asus has finally revealed its next handheld gaming PC - the ROG Ally X - as part of its Computex 2024 announcements. It will feature better battery life, RAM, storage, and more.

Asus also addressed the issues regarding battery life with the ROG Ally, as the device now includes an 80Wh battery. Asus further notes that the ROG Ally X includes an additional vent, which should improve the device's thermals. The company promises the panel will be up to 6 degrees Celsius cooler.

Beyond the new additions, the ROG Ally X uses the Windows 11 operating system, the same AMD Z1 Extreme CPU processors as its predecessor, and RNDA 3 AMD Radeon graphics. It also has the same 7-inch LCD display supporting up to 1080p resolution and a refresh rate that caps at 120Hz with support for AMD FreeSync Premium.

As you can tell from all these changes and what was previously revealed, the ROG Ally X is not an ROG Ally 2, but rather a more enhanced version of its original design. However, Asus has said in the past it is planning to commit to making another, more powerful design of the ROG Ally.
