The Asus ROG Ally X gaming handheld is coming in June, and we got to touch an early prototype to evaluate its improved ergonomics — with no photos, unfortunately.
On June 2nd, Asus will formally announce the ROG Ally X, a semi-sequel to its handheld gaming PC with a way bigger battery. We exclusively revealed the broad strokes last Thursday, but I’ve now touched an early engineering sample, too — and I’m pleased to say it’s far more comfortable to hold. Asus has made a whole bunch of ergonomic changes that make it practically melt into my hands, in the exact way the original did not.
But I wouldn’t say it felt heavy, either, thanks to the added comfort when holding it. I won’t guess at its weight, but I can give you an educated guess at thickness: maybe a third of an inch thicker at most. How can I tell? I used my index finger as a ruler! The handheld’s “tablet” portion is roughly as thick as the length of my index fingertip, and the grips add roughly the thickness of my index fingernail.
