Those igpu / ai engines are **** turd expensive, anything with AI now is crazy expensive especially in a handheld.

The lower end GPD is around R20k while the top of the range is like R65k.

Still wouldn’t buy one tho.

I have the ROG Ally (Extreme) and this new one would give like at best 15% increase in FPS. I am not going to upgrade to this.
For what?

I'd upgrade to the GPD one but not for R65K. The $2000 one, unless the ROG Ally in 2 years time approaches that performance.
Also not now. But the GPD will surely go on special and we also don't know the final price yet either.

RDNA 4.0 is where it's at I suppose. 32 GB RAM.

If you don't have a handheld the Asus one looks good. If you want to save a bit, get the GPD.

As a ROG Ally owner, nothing here says upgrade.

Exactly, it is surprising how well the little Rog Ally has held up :). Just the battery life
 
As a casual gamer, is it worth getting the Ally X, considering the Z1E is almost half the price?

The key differences are: the Ally X has double the battery capacity (80Wh vs. 40Wh), more and faster RAM (24GB of 7500MHz vs. 16GB of 6400MHz), a full-size M.2 SSD slot, and relocated microSD card slot. Both devices use the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. If you think that worth double the price then sure, or you could just get a winx powerbank with PD charging and call it a day

If you're happy with 500GB then no. You can always buy an 2230 SSD, these go up to 2TB in size.

Will the extra RAM help, for some games maybe. But likely the CPU/GPU will slow you down too. There are online videos comparing the two.

The screen is the same. The speakers may actually be better on the original Ally. The CPU and GPU are identical.

If you're casual, Z1E is probably enough. Depends on the games you play. Visit https://rogallylife.com/ to see what sort of performance per game you can expect. The battery is larger on the X so if portable is your thing, maybe that's better.
Alternatively you could buy a powerbank which could serve you in many more ways, eg the Anker 737.

Define casual.

Don’t expect Doom Dark Ages to run or even the newer AAA titles.

For older games like Cyberpunk, doom eternal around that era then you’ll be good.

For that amount I’d buy an ASUS ROG Flow gaming tablet.

But I’m eyeing one of those Onex gaming tablets end of the year.
