Do I like the ROG Xbox Ally X? Yes. Does it give me those sweet techdorphins you get from using a lovely bit of new kit? Will it replace my Steam Deck? Almost certainly. Is it an Xbox? Hmmm. While writing this I actually paused here to figure out the sound I made after asking myself the question. While I wrote “hmmm”, it was more sort of a “tsk” but a questioning one. The kind of sound you’d make if asked the universe’s most impossible question. “Is this new handheld an Xbox or a PC?” I ask myself again, hoping my abrasive tone will knock some sense out of my brain.
