Description
The ROG Xbox Ally X 1TB is a premium handheld gaming PC created through the collaboration between ASUS ROG and Xbox, combining the power and flexibility of Windows gaming with the familiar Xbox experience. Designed for gamers who want to take their library on the go, it provides access to PC games, Xbox games through supported services, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Xbox Game Pass, while cloud saves allow you to continue your progress across compatible devices.
Powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, 24GB LPDDR5X RAM, and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, the Ally X is built to handle demanding modern games with impressive portable performance. Its 7-inch Full HD 120Hz touchscreen with FreeSync Premium provides smooth and responsive gameplay, while the AMD Radeon graphics architecture delivers detailed visuals across a wide range of titles.
Unlike a traditional console, the ROG Xbox Ally X runs Windows 11, giving you access to a broad PC gaming ecosystem including major game stores and applications. At the same time, its Xbox-focused interface makes navigating your games and services more straightforward than using a conventional Windows desktop on a handheld. The redesigned ergonomic controls, Hall Effect joysticks, responsive triggers, and comfortable grip are built for extended gaming sessions.
A large 80Wh battery provides improved endurance compared with earlier ROG handheld models, while the advanced cooling system helps maintain performance during demanding gameplay. With Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C connectivity, and expandable storage support, it is designed to be both a powerful gaming machine and a versatile portable PC.
The ROG Xbox Ally X 1TB is ideal for serious gamers who want high-end PC gaming performance in a handheld form factor while benefiting from Xbox integration and Game Pass. It is particularly suited to players who want one portable device capable of accessing a broad range of games rather than being restricted to a single gaming platform.
