I like my XAX but I just can’t justify going for the x20. If they put an 8” screen in it I would’ve been all over it

They really had to keep that bottom bezel. Anything over 8 would have been perfect, I love everything but the size and the other 8+ handhelds hurt

I think companies will eventually realize these handhelds needs to be designed with swappable grip covers in mind to fit different hand sizes and detach the core components from the wear and tear caused by regular use.
I have two different handheld with good ergonomics out of the box, and in both cases the feeling in hand and gaming experience was improved by a lot using a grip.

Screen looks great, I just wish more of the 8.8 inch handhelds would use Xbox controller style grips

For me 7.4 is the perfect size, I also have a XAX, but can’t justify upgrading for the same performance, hoping the next iteration of allies keeps the screen, input upgrades, and the express slot

I mean, sure, but make her buy her own shit. Don't share your accounts with her.

She’s gonna break up with him for a guy that slid into her DM’s, sell the Ally X, pocket the money and these guys will do it again on the next chick. They never learn
Same goes with wedding rings.

I think my favorite part is the screen saver to protect the oled display. I just think it's cool. Definitely adds to the feeling of being more premium.

I love the x20. It's so nice. I had an ally x but swapped the the legion go 2. Asus's software is so much better than lenovo's and MSI.

I always thought that the XAX looked cool. But compared to the x20 it looks ugly

u/parking_advance3164 1d ago
The X20 also feels more premium than the XAX. No more creaking, and the rubberized grips. For the price, one could have expected the same from the XAX.

They look almost the same if you use Killswitch case

u/parking_advance3164 1d ago
That's why no killswitch. Even though I think it's cool. Build quality is great. But it makes the device too thick and unwieldy for me.

I think its quite awesome. People are so bent out of shape about the slightest sound on the buttons. My opinion its quieter than a keyboard and Its comfortable to hold for hours /shrug

It's very ugly, gold buttons were a terrible idea

u/ApostolicDad 22h ago
Its a 20th anniversary device. Anniversaries tend to have gold accents...

u/okyesnosometimes 19h ago
Yeah that's fine, still looks like shit. They should have saved it for the box.

u/Jastafool 1d ago
If I buy this and I already have a legion go 2, do I have a problem?
