According to the information in the certification document issued by Anatel, the ROG Ally X is produced in China. Asus has manufacturing facilities in Brazil where products such as the powerful ROG Strix Scar 18 notebook, priced at R$ 33,000, as well as other models belonging to the ROG family as well as a variety of hardware components are assembled.
Following the same path as the original model, the ROG Ally X will also reach the Brazilian market through imports, a factor that could inevitably affect the final price for consumers in Brazil.

In the previous model, battery life was a critical aspect, as it only offered 3 hours of autonomous operation – a much shorter period compared to the 8 hours offered by the Steam Deck, which presents itself as its main competitor in this sector.
Increase RAM and Storage
There has also been a significant increase in the amount of RAMranging from an already generous 16GB to an expressive 24GB, assembled by the tech giant. SamsungWhile the storage solution now has a staggering 1TB capacity, thanks to the efficient M.2 NVMe SSD.
Given the increasing demand of modern gaming, having 1TB is practically a must-have for enthusiasts who want to have a comprehensive collection of AAA titles stored.
When it comes to the heart of the device, the processor remains loyal to the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extremeaccompanied by graphics based on the RDNA 3 architecture, without any changes compared to its predecessor. Considering that the performance obtained has already reached commendable levels, and given the absence of a successor chip developed by AMD for the Ryzen Z1, this core component remains the sovereign choice for commercially available mobile devices today.
In terms of ergonomics and design, the ROG Ally X does see a slight weight gain, tipping the scales at 678g – an extra 70g. This gain is justified by improvements to the battery and memory, as well as the introduction of new speakers and a subtle increase in the dimensions of the device, which now measures 280mm x 111mm x 36.9mm.
When will he be released?
The big reveal of the ROG Ally X is all set to take place at the Brasil Game Show 2024, scheduled to take place from October 9 to 13. At the previous launch event, Lenovo made a splash by introducing its own contender in this niche market, the Legion Go. In line with its Chinese-origin competitor, the ROG Ally X comes factory-installed with Windows 11, ready to win the hearts of gamers.
