The Xbox Ally Looks Awesome — But Something Feels Off

Is the Xbox Ally worth it—or is it just a ROG Ally 2 in disguise?

At first glance, it looks like a fresh addition to the portable gaming market—and with its $600 price point, many people assume it's something truly different. In this review, I take a closer look at what this device really is, how the new Xbox full-screen experience changes things, and whether the overall package is worth it for portable gaming. While the new Xbox UI gives the Ally a more console-like feel, there are still unique considerations when using a Windows 11 handheld. From comfort and performance to everyday usability and system quirks, I dig into how this device has performed for me over time and whether it actually stands out from other gaming handhelds… or if it’s simply another ROG Ally wearing Xbox colors. If you’ve been curious about its real strengths, its limitations, and the experience you can expect, this video breaks everything down in detail.
