Is the ROG XBOX ally X worth it?
I’ve never owned a PC before, so this would basically be my first gaming device outside of a regular console. The main reason I’m interested in it is because I travel a LOT for uni/family stuff, so having a handheld sounds perfect. But at the same time, I’d probably use it docked most of the time at home with a monitor/controller like a normal setup.
One big reason I’m leaning toward the Ally instead of something like a Switch is because I want a Windows system. I might use it for other stuff too besides gaming, and I like the idea of having an actual portable PC instead of just a gaming console.
What’s making me hesitate is the price difference compared to the older Ally models. Is the Ally X actually worth paying extra for if I’m completely new to PC gaming?
I’ve also seen people complaining that some Xbox games don’t work properly on it or can’t be launched the same way as an actual Xbox, but honestly I don’t care that much about that part since I mostly just want access to PC games/Steam/etc
Would this be a good first gaming handheld/PC for someone who’s never had one before, or should I save money and get an older Ally/Steam Deck instead?
