It's Official: Xbox Has a Full-Blown Identity Crisis

I do not think you highlighted the handheld situation enough: The Asus ROG Xbox Ally non-X (with Z2 A chip) is the weakest of the bunch followed by the Asus ROG non-Xbox Ally non-X (with Z1 non-Extreme chip), but I think they are not worth purchasing or thought at all because the Steam Deck is cheap

Legion Go 2 now costs $2000, twice as much as ROG Xbox Ally X

Just wait a couple weeks. Rog Ally X will also increase. Asus has been pretty good about withstanding price hikes lately but have warned of an increase across the board a few weeks back. Long story short with sad state of gaming and pc hardware is that if you didn’t snag something in the last year y

What handheld should i get?

Secondhand ASUS ROG Ally X (2024). The performance gains of the Xbox Ally X aren’t even worth the $400+ price difference

I'm looking into getting a handheld PC, and I’m considering the Steam Deck OLED or an Xbox Ally X. Which one is the better choice?

Steam OS is a better gaming experience but the Steamdeck is a low powered device. Windows on handhelds is a pain in the butt sometimes but the Asus rog ally 2 (Xbox ally x) is the only one that isn’t stupid expensive right now even though the company is shitty.

are gaming handhelds worth it ?

You could just get a backbone product, for a smartphone. We really are pre the future lol.. As in yes, I have a Steamdeck, and you can definitely not really play any Xbox games on it, no. You can play steam games, and re buy the same games you had on Xbox. As far as an Xbox handheld, there is the AS

Ist das Steam Deck 2026 noch der beste Handheld PC?

Also jemand der echt viele ASUS Produkte besitzt bezweifle ich das die unser experience auch nur ansatzweise so gut ist wie die vom steam deck was Software und it just works Faktor angeht. Das steam deck funktioniert für mich auch ehrlich wirklich nur weil es so viele Möglichkeiten hat Input zu cust

Valve is “hard at work” on Steam Deck 2, but there’s still no release window.

But you also have to consider other factors as well. If the Steam Deck keeps its basic formula, every new handheld will have better specs than it. Valve reused the Nintendo Switch OLED display for cost savings. However, since the Switch oled has been discontinued, it will be hard to keep using the s

Legion Go S Gets Price Hike: Z2 Go 512GB/16GB ($649 to $989). Z1 Extreme 32GB/1TB ($899 to $1579)

At this point I should sell my Asus ROG ALLY white Z1E because I picked up the Go at Christmas time for like $650.
