The Malaysian pricing of the ROG Ally X has just been revealed through the company’s very own website. Priced at RM4,299, the handheld gaming PC is exactly RM1,000 costlier than the original model at launch, though you do get more for the money now.

While the ROG Ally X is still powered by the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, it does come with a number of upgrades. The RAM and SSD capacities, for example, have been increased to 24GB and 1TB respectively. Beyond that, it also has faster LPDDR5 7500MHz memory, which promises up to 15% faster performance.

Design wise, the ROG Ally X is more comfortable to hold than the original Ally, and it now comes in a black colourway instead of white. It’s worth noting that the Ally X is actually 70g heavier as well – it has a larger 80Wh battery after all – though it doesn’t feel too heavy to be cumbersome, which is good.

Although we now know the ROG Ally X is priced at RM4,299 in Malaysia, it remains to be seen exactly when it will be available for purchase on our shores. Rest assured, we will keep a close eye on the local availability of the handheld gaming PC.
