First they delay this shit at the last minute for an hour then they pull the rug out from under themselves and say "fuck off until June"
Did every corporation turn incredibly stupid this week? What is going on?

Rumor - Rumor: Nvidia might be working on a PC handheld rival to Steam Deck
Nvidia is reportedly working on a PC gaming handheld of its own, according to YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead, with the claim that “Nvidia is getting serious about making more handheld gaming devices with their graphics IP (intellectual property) in them.” Not only does it make sense in general, as...
MLiD so take it with a mountain of salt but who knows.

I hear this take about every single person that leaks something. Not saying that the leak is right, but nobody likes anybody for these things.Rumor - Rumor: Nvidia might be working on a PC handheld rival to Steam Deck

His track record is atrocious but he did accurately get the ps5 pro specs recently

I mean - any competition is good. I absolutely adore my Steam Deck, makes it so much easier to play games. People need to understand this will not play latest games on high settings, not if you want to avoid fans going crazy and huge battery hit.
I play mostly 3-4 years old games at 45FPS, the system is whisper quiet, battery lasts 4 hours. Also, portable Skyrim.

This was damn near Asus' "don't you guys have phones moment". Really pathetic.
edit: ok.....maybe not that bad, but I'm still pissed about it.

nah they don’t have a x86 license, so no chance as hardly any pc games run on arm. Both intel and AMD will never give them a license even if was to a third party.

There must be something in the water this week because every company and exec is acting like complete idiots. It's like they are tripping over themselves to fuck around with their customer base. So sick of it all.

Those changes actually sound pretty good. Too bad about the screen though./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25440568/rog_ally_teaser.jpg)
Asus’ next ROG Ally will be the ROG Ally X
The company’s promising big battery life gains.www.theverge.com
“Asus says the Ally X should now have more than its current 16GB of RAM so that you can allocate lots of it to the GPU without impacting the rest of the system. It should have a longer M.2 2280 SSD slot, so buyers can more easily find and purchase larger SSD upgrades than the current M.2 2230 allows.
The Ally X should also be even more repairable, with redesigned joystick modules that are more interchangeable — and upgradable”
Other than the screen, the rest of the changes are what’s needed. And screen isn’t too bad on the Asus. I mean, I would love a slightly larger OLED instead, no question, but other changes are interesting.

Hmm… let’s see what happens then next time BestBuy runs a sale and they have some returned boxes as well. Could be palatable at that discount.
That said $800 is kind of a price where I am not sure there will be any uptake.

I mean Switch OLED was kind of that. Chip shortage probably screwed up the rumored Pro so Nintendo said f it and released OLED (which I bought, lol).

They refuse to admit MicroSD issue but still went through the trouble of rearranging the motherboard lol. Seems like the battery upgrade will be substantial. It was my main complaint when they revealed the device and I am surprised how little insight Asus had opting for such a small battery. Shame the display didn't get transformed into 16:10 ratio. Would help reduce the bezel dead space.
The Z1E is still an extremely well performant chip so it didn't surprise me they're sticking to it. Like Valve, don't expect a substantial performance upgrade until atleast 2026.

Let me update my battery please...thank you.

Most likely admitting it opens them to class-action lawsuit, so they will do everything else stopping short at admitting it.

It would have to be one of the lower specced variants, doubtful they can fit 16 zen cores + 40 radeon CUs in a portable form factor.

That's not the Strix APU that will go in next gen handhelds.
There is a low power variant with 16 CU's and 4 Zen 5 cores & 4 Zen5c cores (16 threads) which will, in 2025.

Wait, so it is just exactly the same...JUST a bigger battery, or is there more memory etc?

More RAM, yes, though they haven't said how much officially. Prob 32 GB I'd guess? Dunno.
They made room for 2280 SSDs, which is cool I suppose, but that coupled with a way bigger battery, says to me this thing will weigh considerably more.
How they can call the X an "enthusiast" version of the Ally but still have the same 7" non-OLED screen is beyond me.

ah ok....I might pick one up. Will wait to see.....Can't believe its not oled though
32GB would be cool, but I could see it being 24gb too

i'll buy it for the better battery life alone because i love my current Ally and I hate money

I'm not too bothered with lack of OLED. But had hoped that they removed the bezels.ah ok....I might pick one up. Will wait to see.....Can't believe its not oled though

The huge battery boost and improved RAM (and better joysticks) is enough for a upgrade to me. I hope the joysticks can be easily replaced, like on the Xbox Elite controllers etc.

Yeah it definitely feels more geared towards those making their first PC handheld purchase. Right now SDOLED has a decisive battery life lead so I'm thinking Asus wants to adress that shortcoming so Rog Ally remains that "most powerful, and long-lasting handheld". It's going to be hard recommending an SDOLED over an ROG Ally with these new changes coming and its other inherent advantages with a superior processing chip and VRR (and OS too if you ask me but this is touchy subject lol).
