In this video, I’m breaking down 5 things I genuinely hate about the Xbox Ally X after spending real time with it—not just a quick first impression. On paper, it’s a Windows handheld that should be perfect for Game Pass on the go, and yes, it still has areas where it shines. But weeks in, a few decisions kept annoying me every time I picked it up, and I want you to know those gotchas before you even think about upgrading from the ROG Ally/Ally X. First, the display: we’re still stuck at 7 inches and there’s no OLED upgrade, which feels like the most obvious “this is what people want” change. Then there’s the buttons and UX—especially the Xbox button behavior—where some choices feel redundant or confusing because they duplicate stuff you already have. Performance-wise, the gains at higher TDP didn’t feel like the big leap some people are expecting. I also talk about the port layout (both USB-C ports up top… awkward while gaming) and the overall design playing it safe instead of making bold, quality-of-life improvements. I wrap it up with my personal wishlist and what I’m excited to test next.
