A good ROG Ally X at Evetech runs around R14,000-R17,000. The ROG Ally X runs a Ryzen Z1 Extreme with 24GB RAM and a 1080p 120Hz screen, hitting 60+ fps in many AAA titles at medium settings, so the right pick depends on matching the spec to how you'll actually use it rather than buying the cheapest box on the shelf.
It doubles as a portable work device with USB-C output to a monitor. Battery life depends on the wattage profile, so dial down the TDP for longer sessions away from a plug. Focus on the spec that affects your daily use most, and skip premium features you won't touch.
A ROG Ally X only delivers value when the rest of your kit supports it. Check the connection, the desk space it needs, and whether your PC or fibre line can keep up. Buying one notch above your current needs gives a little headroom; buying three notches above just wastes rand on capability you can't use yet.
