The Ally X Is Almost the Same Size as the Original
Despite the new battery and RAM, the revised Ally X feels no larger than the first iteration. It weighs only .15 pounds more and is the same total length. It’s just a little thicker, but the updated ergonomics don’t hamper the overall feel. The ports along the top have also been remodeled to allow for two USB C ports (one Thunderbolt 4) rather than the single ROG XG combo port. If you are curious, ROG moved the micro-SD card slot conspicuously away from the top vents and over to the right. Some users have complained that the old Ally got hot enough, and it cooked their SD card and made it unusable, though we’ll have to test for ourselves if the new one fixes that issue.
