ASUS Republic of Gamers Malaysia Announces ROG Ally X  

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Malaysia today  announced the pricing and pre-order promotion for ROG Ally X, a new model of its popular ROG Ally  handheld game console. Designed for Windows 11 gaming on the go, the ROG Ally X features the same  AMD Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor, but adds upgraded storage, RAM, and battery life, alongside an  updated chassis for improved ergonomics, cooling, and connectivity. Combined with Armoury Crate SE 1.5,  which features a new customizable game library and unified system updates, the ROG Ally X is designed  to #playALLYourgames better than ever. 

More storage, faster RAM, and longer battery life 

Built with user feedback at its heart, the ROG Ally X amps of many of its crucial internal components. A  new 1 TB SSD ensures users have room for all their games, up from 512 GB on the original Ally. In addition,  the ROG Ally X uses a redesigned motherboard featuring an M.2 2280 form factor slot, allowing users to  more easily upgrade their storage to larger drives than previously possible. 

Accompanying this storage upgrade is 24 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM for more flexibility. As an APU, the  AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme shares its video RAM with the device’s system RAM. With modern games using more VRAM for high-resolution, lifelike textures, 24 GB of system memory allows users to allocate more  memory to both the system and the GPU for better performance in the next generation of AAA titles. 

Finally, the ROG Ally X has also been outfitted with an 80 Wh battery, double the capacity of the previous  model, so users can game longer away from the wall. And despite a sizeable improvement in battery life,  the ROG Ally X only weighs 70 grams more than the original ROG Ally, with the weight distribution perfectly  centered where the gamer’s thumb and forefinger lie while gripping the device. This keeps it feeling lighter  than its 678 g weight would imply, ensuring comfortable play and portability for all. 

Updated controls and connectivity 

The ROG Ally X features a redesigned chassis in a brand-new black colorway, with slightly deeper handles  and a more rounded shape for improved comfort, without adding much thickness to the device. The buttons  and sticks are arranged in a slightly more ergonomic angle, with a slant to the triggers that makes them  easier to press. The macro buttons on the back are also smaller, to reduce accidental presses while keeping  them easily accessible. 

The joysticks have been replaced with new, more durable module rated for a 5-million-cycle lifespan, with  stiffer springs for a more familiar response curve to longtime controller gamers. The D-Pad has been  similarly improved, with more precise eight-direction input for fighting and retro games. 

Users overwhelmingly requested more universal I/O, so the original XG Mobile port has been replaced with  two USB-C® ports on the ROG Ally X, one of which is Thunderbolt™-compatible for wide interoperability  with third-party docks and external GPUs.  

Improved thermals all around 

To accommodate the new battery, the ROG Ally X features new fans that are 23% smaller, but utilize 50%  thinner fan blades to improve airflow. Two new tunnels in the fan housing direct air up and out toward an  additional, third exhaust vent on the upper edge of the ROG Ally X. This new thermal solution provides 24%  more air volume to be pushed through the device, cooling not only the internal components but also the  touch screen, which measures up to 6°C cooler for more comfortable long-term usage.

ROG Ally X (2024) will be priced officially at Malaysia for RM 4,299 along with pre-order promotion starting  from 17th July to 31st July 2024. During this period, ROG ALLY X comes with a pre-order bundle worth RM  658, which includes ROG ALLY Premium Hard Case, ROG Gaming Charger Dock & Screen Protector,  while stock last.
