The X Factor Takes Hold: ASUS ROG Ally X Levels Up PC Handheld Gaming

Leave a comment

The ASUS ROG Ally redefined the way we experience PC gaming on the go. Its potent combination of portability and performance made it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking high-fidelity gaming without being confined to a desk. Now, the highly anticipated ROG Ally X takes the reins, pushing the boundaries of mobile PC gaming even further.

ROG Ally X

Unleashing Enhanced Performance

While both the ROG Ally and Ally X boast the impressive AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor with Zen 4 architecture and RDNA™ 3 graphics, the Ally X delivers a noticeable leap in performance. This is primarily due to the significant upgrade in memory. The Ally X packs a whopping 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM compared to the original Ally’s 16GB. This translates to smoother multitasking, faster loading times, and the ability to handle even the most demanding games with ease.

Double the Storage, Double the Fun

The ROG Ally X isn’t just about raw power; it’s also about storage capacity. The device boasts a spacious 1TB SSD, doubling the storage of its predecessor. This means you can carry your entire gaming library on the go, whether it’s the latest AAA titles or your favourite indie gems. Plus, the full-length M.2 2280 PCIe4 SSD slot allows for faster data access and future upgrade flexibility, ensuring your device stays future-proof.

ROG Ally X

Power Through Epic Sessions

One of the biggest concerns for mobile gamers is battery life. The ROG Ally X addresses this head-on with a massive 80Wh battery, a significant upgrade compared to the 40Wh battery in the original ROG Ally. This translates to longer gaming sessions without the constant need for a charger. Conquer dungeons, explore vast open worlds, and dominate online battles without worrying about running out of juice.

Ergonomic Comfort for Extended Play

Gamers know the importance of a comfortable playing experience. The ROG Ally X has been meticulously designed with improved ergonomics in mind. Larger grips provide a more secure hold, while optimized button placement ensures easy access during intense gameplay sessions. The overall feel has been refined for enhanced comfort, letting you focus on the game in hand without fatigue.

ROG Ally X 3

Enhanced Connectivity for Seamless Gaming

The ROG Ally X caters to a wider range of peripherals and accessories with its improved I/O ports. It features two USB Type-C ports, with one supporting DisplayPort™ and power delivery for versatile functionality. The other port boasts USB 4 (Thunderbolt™ 4 compliance), enabling faster data transfer speeds, DisplayPort™ 1.4 for connecting external displays, and support for Freesync for a smoother visual experience. This expanded connectivity allows you to customize your mobile gaming setup and connect to various devices with ease.

The Evolution of Mobile PC Gaming

The ROG Ally X isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a refinement of the entire mobile PC gaming experience. With its enhanced performance, doubled storage capacity, significantly improved battery life, superior ergonomics, and versatile connectivity options, the ROG Ally X positions itself as the ultimate handheld gaming device for enthusiasts seeking power, flexibility, and comfort.

    ASUS Launches the ROG Phone 7 in Malaysia Priced from MYR 3,599!

    Leave a comment

    ASUS launched their flagship smartphone, the ROG Phone 7 last month in April 2023. As promised, ASUS has brought the new flagship gaming smartphone into Malaysia. They are also available for purchase now as we speak; if you are interested, you can check out their roadshow happening now to the end of this weekend (14th of May 2023) at Pavilion Bukit Jalil.

    To recap, the ROG Phone 7 comes in two variants, the regular vanilla ROG Phone 7, and one ROG Phone 7 Ultimate flavour. The vanilla ROG Phone 7 is still a powerful device packing Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform. You still get up to opt for up to 16GB in LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB in storage space if you do not mind spending a little bit more money.

    ROG Phone 7 Ultimate 06

    Whichever ROG Phone 7 series device you pick, it comes with a large 6.78-inch AMOLED display that offers Full HD+ resolution at 165Hz refresh rate and up to 720Hz in sampling rate for a smooth and near instant input feel. The AMOLED display also offers the best-in-class viewing experience with up to 1,500 nits in brightness and ΔE<1 colour accuracy. For the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, you get an extra matrix display shooting visuals out of the back of the device (ROG Vision).

    The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate also has a trick up its sleeve over the regular ROG Phone 7. You not only get the latest AeroActive Cooler active cooling solution and attachment for your ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, but the cooler also activates a flap they call the AeroActive Portal that will increase an airflow channel to allow for better cooling. The result is up to 20% thermal efficiency from the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. That, alongside the Boron Nitride thermal compound, bigger vapor chamber,a graphite sheets on the CPU means that the CPU can be pushed to its limits for longer periods of time without compromising gaming performance.

    Price and Availability

    As mentioned, the ROG Phone 7 series is now available in Malaysia. You can get your vanilla variant of the ROG Phone 7 in either white or black colour options. The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate will be available 15th of May 2023 onward in Malaysia. There is no colour option for this one, unfortunately, just white.
