“This is Xbox,” says Microsoft from the novel conveyor, but let’s be forthright, it’s a computer

“Xbox that you can keep in your hands.” This is what Microsoft announced, combining cooperation with ASUS to collect a manual device with Xbox controls, Xbox interface and Xbox games … well, something like.

Before we get to the entire computer compared to the Xbox Marlarky, let’s talk about the details.

Along the way there are two conveyors: ally of ROG Xbox Sojusz X and ROG Xbox.

We have some key details about “new” systems that drive these two conveyors.

So Z2 Extreme has 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU and 8 Zen 5 cores. This is a wicked connection, no doubt and the highest portable performance for Team Green. Er, no This Team Green, Xbox.

Meanwhile, Z2 A has only 8 GPU cores. And they are ancient, oh, so ancient, 2 cores. It also has only 4 processor cores from the ancient, ancient Zen 2 architecture. You can read more about novel Z2 processors here, but it boils down to this: Z2 better or low-cost. And I mean that low-cost steam deck low-cost, because it is basically the same chip, wrinkles and everything.

Because, as I said, it’s really just a computer in disguise as Xbox. It works with Windows 11. But this is fine for us computer players, because this conveyor will have full access to Windows and, of course, all many stores in the operating system. So we have here in our game collections-I treat money at the Steam library. Practically.

We do not have a price for two conveyors yet, but we have the date: “Holiday 2025”.

But all this conversation about Xbox in your hands raises an compelling question: what do you need to be Xbox now? Apparently, only a Windows 11 computer stuffed in a type of device that looks like Xbox. If it’s true, is my game computer counts if I connect my Xbox controller? Or maybe if I wear a little photo of Phil Spencer’s face?

ROG Xbox Ally looks like the only Xbox service that we see in the near future how The last rumors suggest The fact that Microsoft gave up plans to build its own console, although we never really knew how far this project was in development.

Although some form of Windows Game Launcher came out of development and on the ROG Xbox Ally X and Ally. It also looks pretty good. It can be a huge win for portable Windows -powered games, because Windows can be a bit awkward to move on a diminutive device.

Although in the room hanging in all this is this elephant: Steamos just fired on the Lenovo Legion and we also managed to get a operating system based on Linux Valve on a laptop. This is a really improved operating system for handheld games and it seems that Microsoft would like to compete with it a little more. This novel Xbox interface in Windows can be the beginning of this.

In the coming months we will hear more, but in the meantime, start to hope that ROG Xbox Ally X is a good offer compared to the best game computers, and the ROG Xbox ally costs less than a steam deck.

I mean, it must, right?
