TheAsusROG Ally X is now officially available to buy, with many retailers holding stock of the revamped handheld gaming PC. We’re continually keeping an eye on stock to ensure no one misses out on picking up the portable, and we’re pleased to say that supplies look pretty healthy right now. That said, it’s currently a Best Buy exclusive in the US due to an ongoing retail partnership, so you’ll be heading to one specific store for this one.
We recently shared ourAsus ROG Ally X review, and while it hasn’t knocked the original off ourbest gaming handheldlist, it’s a fantastic option for portable PC enthusiasts. Its improved battery live and upgraded RAM mean it’ll hold up better running those big releases that usually bring rivals to their knees, especially since demanding system requirements can age portable systems like cheese.
In the US, you can pick up the Asus ROG Ally X handheld exclusively atBest Buy for $799, while Currys also finally has the portable PC listedfor £799for UK buyers. If we find any deals or better places to snag the handheld during our daily checks, we’ll be sure to let you know, but you’ll be able to catch the device below without paying over the odds.
Asus ROG Ally X stock: US

You’ll want to enter you post code for an indication of specific delivery times, but it looks to be a standard 3-5 days wait for shipping.

On top of that, Asus has given the design of the ROG Ally X an overhaul to improve ergonomics and offset any extra weight. At just 70g, the new handheld is only 10% heavier than the original, which can be attributed to its thinner cooling system and other internal changes. On the aesthetic front, the Ally X also wears a new black shell, something that helps set it apart visually from its white portable predecessor.
At launch, the Asus ROG Ally X costs $799 / £799, matching other premium handheld rivals like the MSI Claw. Naturally, we’ll need to wait for the release date dust to settle before seeing any deals, but if the original is anything to go by, we should see some price drops at some point in the future.

I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
After 18 months, I’ve finally found a daft handheld that rivals the Tetris Mcnugget - a drumstick KFC Tamagotchi that’s hungry for chicken
