The ROG Ally X specifications have surfaced online, detailing major improvements to both battery life and build quality. While these are quality-of-life changes at best, (which can be safely skipped for most existing ROG Ally owners), they are quite welcome and should help further cement the Ally’s place as the king of Windows-based, high performance handheld gaming PCs.
A breakdown of these ROG Ally X specifications can be found below.
