We'll have to see how integrated the UIs and libraries are for each app. If they've managed to get away from Windows 11 standard UI in some significant ways that cut down on battery usage and allow better optimization.. then it may be worth the Xbox name.

Oh this gonna cost that bread:damn:
The AI Z2 Extreme model, yes. Which I suspect why there are 2 SKUs the Z2A model is more budget friendly.

I'm actually interested in the hardware itself, the enabled NPU on the Extreme has potential for this device as a good mobile unit when the hardware hackers develop an optimized linux kernel and how to boot to it.

So the current Ally X is $900... if they get this under 1k I'm in. Anything more and it may be a wait unless the reviews are stupid good. This is what a premium gaming handheld should be.. if you're gonna be charging out the ass you may as well go all in and get all the most highly requested features in there.

It's missing the OLED display, that would make it premium handheld gaming. But obviously that'd drive the price through the roof.

Sony had the right idea with the Portal hardware and how it interfaces with existing consoles. Anxious to see performance tests of this hardware.
