1. The ROG Ally X, a 7-inch portable gaming PC by ASUS, offers significant spec updates including increased memory/SSD capacity, larger battery, and improved cooling. 2. The device replaces the proprietary ROG XG Mobile port with USB4, allowing for a wider range of external GPU options. 3. A USB4/OCuLink-compatible docking station with Radeon RX 7600M XT from Shenzhen's GPD and One-Netbook is available, offering a more affordable alternative to the ROG XG Mobile. However, compatibility issues arise when using the Radeon RX 7600M XT with the ROG Ally X, as the drivers for the integrated Radeon Graphics in the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor are incompatible with the drivers for the external Radeon GPU. One-Netbook has released a compatible driver set to address this issue, enabling the Radeon RX 7600M XT to work seamlessly with the ROG Ally X.
