I'd love to see mobile pc gaming become more of a thing but the price is too high right now and will probably continue to be.

I had a steam deck and its a great device and still probs the overall best value.

IDK I truly don't feel like playing intense shyt on a handheld often. I did do some farming on Elden Ring back in the day but those are big screen titles, any thing else a deck can handle easily already (jrpgs, emulators)

If I need all that power portably I'll just use a laptop plus pad

About 10 percent to 15 percent peformance increase graphically but the change is more in the raw power and OS. Since the OS is more stable and desgined for gaming you will get better gaming across the board.

If you have a rog ally x already like myself its no need to buy this one. Wait for the next iteration with better screen.
That's my biggest knock on it. The 10 to 15 percent increase in relation to the price of the previous Ally X. Especially since the old Ally X is due to get the improved OS at a later date. I understand the Microsoft tax because that's what they do with all products. (Surface Laptops) But I can't pay 1K to essentially be a beta tester. Also because of how they're branding it and because people are just dumb. They're going to be a lot of disappointed people when they realize they can't play their actual Xbox games on it :russ:

Nah but all jokes aside, the "Xbox" label to this is deceptive.

This being called "Xbox" probably has some folks thinking they're about to eat with "xbox" games portably but in reality it's just a Windows handheld with the logo.

GTA 6 will not be playable portably anywhere cept for PS Portal or Chiaki on Steamdeck. If the game isn't on PC or not "play anywhere" then you're fukked.


Next handheld I'll buy is either a Switch 2 or the rumored PS6 handheld.
