Let's talk about the best of the best, the ROG Ally X. The Ally X feels like the final hurrah for this generation of AMD-powered Windows handhelds.
Built around the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor that also can be found inside the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, and more or less the same chip as in most other Windows-based handheld, it excels in other ways.
First off, the battery life is great. That's thanks to an 80 Whr battery that really makes a difference to the longevity of this device.
That's really important for taking this thing on a long plane journey—you can get some good hours of gaming in without worrying about finding an outlet.
The other big improvement is the 24 GB of RAM onboard. That's more than the 16 GB we expect to see, though a little less than you'll find on premium, more niche handheld brands such as some from Ayaneo or OneXPlayer.
