Same as what I posted in the Xbox thread but I'll be day 1 on this if the price isn't crazy

It looks really good from what I've seen. Seems a smart choice from Microsoft to pair with an established brand in the handheld space. We just bought a switch 2, my wife may kill me if I buy this as well :cry:
 
Bit of a damp squib really.

"The first XBOX handheld!" ...is just an Asus ROG Ally yearly refresh with an XBox button on it.

Wow.

Fair enough, the chip inside the X is what is interesting to me and the new environment for playing the games as well. Reducing services to only critical. I wonder in future if they optimize the gaming environment on other Rog Ally's as well, even on PC, that would be very useful.
 
I think we'll have to wait for the SD2 (if it happens) to get a properly interesting handheld. I like that MS are building a UI for Windows, and hopefully optimisations are put in place to use the APU more efficiently, similar to what Valve has done on SteamOS.

AMD have steadily improved their graphics performance, and FSR4 is a significant improvement over 3 so it feels like we're on the cusp of a well-rounded gaming APU.

Yeah it would be great to have a decent gaming APU for desktop as well. I like the idea of just having one chip, easier to cool and potentially far less power use.
 
I picked up the current Rog Ally Z1 Extreme (Not X) as was on Prime sale at £399

First pc handheld and I think it’s brilliant. Makes me very interested in seeing how these are when they land as I’m still very much in camp of want one.

I'm going to keep an eye on these when they drop, really happy with the Switch 2 atm, it's surprised me how good it is. Still will check out reviews and what not when these drop.
