ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has unveiled the ROG Ally X, the successor to its popular ROG Ally handheld console. Designed for Windows 11 gaming on the go, the ROG Ally X retains the powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor but boasts significant upgrades in storage, memory, battery life, and ergonomics.
The ROG Ally X takes user feedback to heart with several key internal upgrades. First, storage capacity doubles to a whopping 1 TB M.2 2280 SSD, providing ample space for your gaming library. The redesigned motherboard now features an M.2 2280 slot, allowing for future storage upgrades beyond the original capacity.
Next, the ROG Ally X moves to a generous 24 GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM. This is particularly beneficial for modern games that utilize higher resolutions and complex textures. With more system memory, users can allocate more resources for both the system and the integrated GPU, potentially enhancing performance in demanding titles.
Battery life gets a significant boost as well. The ROG Ally X features an 80 Wh battery, doubling the capacity of the previous model. This translates to longer gaming sessions away from an outlet. Impressively, despite the larger battery, the weight increase is minimal, and the weight distribution is optimized for comfortable handheld gaming.
The ROG Ally X sports a redesigned chassis in a sleek black colourway. The handles are slightly deeper, and the overall shape is more rounded for improved comfort without adding significant bulk. The button and joystick layout has been tweaked for better ergonomics, with a slight slant to the triggers for easier activation. Macro buttons on the back are now smaller to reduce accidental presses while remaining accessible.
Gamers will appreciate the upgraded joysticks. These new modules boast a 5-million-cycle lifespan and stiffer springs, offering a more familiar and responsive feel for seasoned controller users. The D-Pad has also been improved, delivering precise eight-direction inputs for fighting and retro games.
In response to user feedback, the original XG Mobile port has been replaced with two USB-C® ports on the ROG Ally X. One of these ports is Thunderbolt™ compatible, offering broader interoperability with third-party docks and external GPUs.
To accommodate the larger battery, the ROG Ally X utilizes new fans that are 23% smaller but employ 50% thinner blades for improved airflow. Two redesigned tunnels within the fan housing direct air upwards and out through a new third exhaust vent on the top of the device. This 24% increase in airflow volume cools not only internal components but also the touchscreen, keeping it up to 6°C cooler for more comfortable extended gaming sessions.
Pricing & Availability
The ROG Ally X is expected to be available soon. No specific pricing details have been announced at the time of writing.
ASUS has unveiled its new Prime family of NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards, including the Prime GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, Prime GeForce RTX 4070, and Prime GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. Designed with budget-conscious enthusiasts in mind, these cards offer impressive performance housed within a sleek design that’s perfect for small form-factor (SFF) builds.
The trend towards building powerful PCs in compact SFF chassis continues to grow. The new NVIDIA GeForce SFF-Ready program simplifies this process by identifying compatible cases and graphics cards. The Prime GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and Prime GeForce RTX 4070 join the ranks of SFF-ready cards, measuring a mere 50mm thick and 269mm long. This 2.5-slot design falls comfortably within NVIDIA’s recommended guidelines for SFF PCs, ensuring compatibility and a streamlined building experience.
Despite their slim profile, the Prime GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, Prime GeForce RTX 4070, and Prime GeForce RTX 4060 Ti pack a punch for cooling. These cards borrow cooling innovations from the ASUS Dual models, with the addition of a third fan. Each card features three Axial-tech fans with nine blades, working with a vented backplate for efficient airflow and noise control.
For silent operation during light workloads, these cards utilize 0 dB technology, allowing the fans to stop when temperatures permit completely. A physical Dual BIOS switch lets users choose between performance and quiet modes for added flexibility.
Durability and reliability are also addressed. Dual ball fan bearings offer double the lifespan of sleeve bearing alternatives, and long-life capacitors ensure extended operation. Additionally, ASUS Auto-Extreme Technology automates the manufacturing process, reducing thermal strain and environmental impact for a long-lasting product.
The Prime family of PC components boasts a shared design language – a classic black-and-white colourway with subtle space-age design elements and minimal RGB lighting. Prime graphics cards seamlessly integrate with this aesthetic, featuring a sleek design and a predominantly black finish that lets the performance do the talking.
The Prime ecosystem extends beyond graphics cards, encompassing motherboards like the cost-effective Prime X670E-Pro WiFi for AMD builds, the Prime AP201 chassis (available in tempered glass or mesh side panel options), and the recently announced Prime AIO liquid CPU cooler. Rounding out the ecosystem are the durable and affordable Prime Gold Series PSUs, available in 750W and 850W options, featuring full modularity, ATX 3.0 standard compliance, 80 Plus Gold certification, and an eight-year warranty.
The latest version of ASUS GPU Tweak III software provides users with granular control over their Prime graphics card. Preset modes allow for easy performance or noise prioritization with a single click, while users can also create custom profiles for specific games.
A new feature, Mobile Monitor, allows users to connect to GPU Tweak III via their phone or other mobile device for real-time monitoring of the graphics card without in-game overlays. Additional improvements include a user-friendly VF Tuner for adjusting the clock speed curve, an enhanced on-screen display, and improved import/export functionality. An integrated GPU-Z interface eliminates the need for separate installation.
The Prime GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, Prime GeForce RTX 4070, and Prime GeForce RTX 4060 Ti offer enticing options for mainstream gaming builds. Combining a triple-fan cooling solution, long-lasting durability, and an aesthetic that complements the ASUS Prime family of components, these graphics cards deliver exceptional value, especially for builders crafting SFF PCs.
Pricing & Availability
The Prime GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, Prime GeForce RTX 4070 and Prime GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be available soon. No pricing details have been revealed at the time of writing.
Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant gaining popularity on Windows devices, is spreading its wings. It’s now available on Telegram, a popular messaging app, offering features that go beyond simply chatting with a bot. While this expansion brings convenience, it also raises questions about user privacy in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
Telegram users can now leverage Copilot’s capabilities directly within the app. This AI companion, powered by GPT technology and Bing search, offers a variety of features:
Information Retrieval: Need answers on the fly? Ask Copilot anything from travel tips to sports updates, and it will retrieve information using Bing search.
Conversational Partner: Feeling social? Engage in casual conversation with Copilot. It can handle open-ended questions and provide engaging responses.

Accessing Copilot on Telegram is simple. Just search for “@CopilotOfficialBot” within the app and start interacting. Currently in beta, the service is free for all Telegram users on desktop, mobile devices, and the web version.
While Copilot’s convenience is undeniable, its growing presence across platforms raises privacy concerns. Microsoft assures users that their interactions with Copilot occur directly within Telegram, keeping data secure. However, Copilot, like any search engine, relies on publicly available information on the web. This raises the question of how much data users are comfortable sharing in exchange for convenience.
The integration of Copilot into Telegram represents a step forward in AI-powered communication tools. However, it also highlights the ongoing conversation surrounding user privacy in the age of AI assistants. As AI technology continues to evolve and permeate various platforms, it will be interesting to see how companies like Microsoft address privacy concerns while offering users the benefits of these intelligent companions.
