The ROG Ally X sounds like it will be an admirable gaming handheld, but I have some big issues with how the initial reveal has been handled, and what it means for the market overall. Asus is releasing its third ROG Ally model in under a year, and rather than focusing its resources on a true next-generation model, it’s instead chasing the instant gratification of a shiny new release.
The existing ROG Ally is already among the best handheld gaming PCs, and the ROG Ally X may very well surpass it once we have all the details and can put it to the test. That being said, I’m struggling to understand why it exists, and whether Asus has a plan to tackle Valve’s current market dominance with the Steam Deck.
