Buying call

Buy the ROG Ally X if you want a Windows handheld with strong battery life and storage: reviewers praised its much larger battery, 24GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, quieter cooling and improved controls. Skip it if you want the simplest experience, because Windows 11 is still awkward on a handheld, or if you want an OLED screen, since it uses a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz IPS panel. It costs much more than a Steam Deck and can run hot when docked.
