The handles on it look like they’re going to be pretty comfortable

Praying we can install the OS on our own PC’s, would be huge for my living room pc. PC living room gaming is never as user friendly as I want it to be, windows 11 is not controller friendly and many games still don’t work properly on linux/steamos

Another failed MS launch lol

“the freedom of windows”, lmao. Decent hardware, crap software as usual.

Would these be xbox joysticks and buttons? The ones on the OG ally are so bad.

So this is a PC handheld device we can play Xbox games and pc games without needing Xbox live but gamepass is super essential
Plus since it’s gonna have windows installed GeForce now would be a great addition to this device

It’s weird how they included Japan but not Taiwan in the list of countries it’ll be available in. I’ve never seen xbox products being sold in mainstream stores in Japan because of how unpopular it is there, and Asus is from Taiwan.

The original Ally joysticks were horrendous from what I heard. With the horrible quality of Xbox controllers…looking at you Elite controllers…I can only imagine how shit these will be. What am I supposed to do when I get stick drift or one of the bumpers goes bad? You can’t replace those like you could with a controller.

If you can run it like a PC in the same way Steam Deck can, I’ll probably trade mine in for this. I’ve only really used my Steam Deck as an emulator.

Oh no, this is bad

This thing is gonna cost as much as a ps5 pro lol

Can’t wait to install steamOS on it.

Notice how they refuse to show it handling Oblivion or even DOOM, despite them being MS/Bethesda games.
Which is surprising, given how well-optimized Dark Ages is for that range of VRAM.

While this won’t kill Steam OS devices from Valve, they are done in the 3rd party space with this.

That is unreasonable ugly.

So their own hardware for the XBox handheld turned out to be so grossly underpowered they shitcanned it and instead stick the logo on a modern Ryzen APU handheld…

If you get excited before they announce pricing, you’re a silly billy.

Asus? No fucking thanks

Can you remove all the garbage bloat from the OS? Don’t need chat, don’t need the overlay, don’t need Xbox app, don’t need stores other than Steam and GoG Galaxy, don’t need Xbox Game Pass, don’t need cloud gaming.
