The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X20 is the best (and priciest) Ally yet
Oh no, I think I want one.
Last year, ASUS and Microsoft collaborated to introduce the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handheld gaming PCs. These devices marked Microsoft's first significant entry into the gaming handheld market, introducing a new full-screen Xbox interface to create a seamless blend between PC and console gaming experiences. The superior Xbox Ally X garnered praise from various outlets, earning a spot as the top Windows-powered gaming handheld of the year.
This year, ASUS and Xbox have unveiled another premium offering in the form of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X20. The X20 retains the same AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor and 24 GB of LPDDR5X memory from its predecessor. In addition, it is equipped with an impressive OLED display, a sleek transparent plastic shell, revamped controls, and other enhancements.
After several weeks of hands-on experience with the X20, the writer finds it quite impressive; however, Windows' limitations as a handheld OS and its steep $1,300 price tag might make it difficult to appeal to a broader audience beyond its intended market.
