Wait, so here’s the scoop—Asus and Microsoft are teaming up, right? They’re cooking up something called the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. Yeah, sounds kinda fancy. I stumbled across these rumors—price tags of €599 and €899, if you care to convert to dollars, something like $700 and $1,050. But hey, who knows what’s official? Asus? Nope, they’re still mumbling mysterious noises.
Oh, and there’s all this techy jazz about grips and triggers. Apparently, these handhelds feel like Xbox controllers on steroids. We’re talking about some serious comfort, though ironically, they’re a bit chunkier. Go figure.
Now, I keep getting sidetracked. Specs are flying around like confetti at a parade. The Ally X has this Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor—sounds like a superhero or something. It’s got loads of RAM and a solid 1TB SSD. And I think I saw something about an 80Wh battery. Meanwhile, the basic Ally model’s a bit more… chill? Less bang, less buck.
Anywho, they’ve got a 7-inch, full-HD display that’s supposed to relax your retinas at 120Hz (like magical screen therapy or something). Wait, did I mention the Xbox button? Instant Game Bar access. Boom.
And just when you think that’s all—Microsoft’s out there playing with their Xbox app for Windows. New tweak for managing games from different stores like Battle.net or Riot Games. Steam, maybe GOG, might join the party later. Or not. Who knows with those folks?
Okay, I got sidetracked again. Anyway, Asus and Microsoft? Buckle up, because this could get wild. Or not. Depends if you’re into handhelds, I guess.
