It will be glorious for all 1.5 hours that it will last on a battery. 36 watt APU is no joke.Woah, and 64GB of RAM? Damn, now I am interested.

Win 11 with Xbox-branded GUI with native GamePass integration. Both models are variations of Ally 2 HW-wise w/o any unique components.Rog Ally 2 running the new XboxOS?
Yes. People really thought Microsoft will do something differently than barebones effort for a quick cash grab?So it is basically a ROG Ally X with a different grip and some Xbox branding?
Call it 'Project BOMB' because this hunk of crap is going to bomb the xbox brand even further into the abyss. No one is going to buy this overpriced piece of crap, just like no one is buying the series s/x. Once you decided to go third party, you essentially lost all semblance of consumer faith in your hardware and in your brand.

Ally Extreme lasts exactly 1.6 hours in Gaming battery life even in your tests, lol.…it's not a console. It's a PC handheld that runs Steam, GOG, Windows store etc.
It's the next ROG Ally. None of these are meant as major mass market sellers.
What does 'third party' have to do with this? its a PC!

Asus ROG Ally battery life: This Windows gaming handheld blows the competition away
If you're in the market for a Windows gaming handheld and battery life is a priority, the Asus ROG Ally might be your ideal pickwww.laptopmag.com
The Ally X isn't too bad on battery life. The normal Rog Ally is horrendous lol.Ally Extreme lasts exactly 1.6 hours in Gaming battery life even in your tests, lol.
FCC photos are usually godawflul. I'm sure it will look sleek in real world, Ally is quite a neat device in person.Looks very cheap and not interesting. More like a prototype of the original ROG Ally.
Just make the grips from Elite 2/Core controllers. Solid xbox design feel, great placement, paddles that feel good but don't fuck up the bumpers or buttons.
Make a premium edition with replaceable thumbsticks etc.

The ROG Ally and ROG Ally X are fantastically built, I highly doubt this new one will be any different. FCC images generally don't do a product justice.Looks very cheap and not interesting. More like a prototype of the original ROG Ally.
"special" handeld friendly windows is something I will believe when I see it. This is not the first iteration of windows handhelds and if it wasn't for steam big picture or even bazite / steam os, the user experience would be pretty shit. Honestly the price point will always be high regardless as Asus does not make a cut on games sold, so hardware is sold as a premium, so this is priced outside the typical console range.Yeah. Price could be problematic but if it ships with anything like a windows it's dead. I'm just thinking even Phil has said, can't quite remember the interview, that windows normal OS is holding the mobile experience back so I'd imagine this was a priority.
Z2 extreme + 64gb. Is a large specs bump.... and surely in price.I mean, if it's a large spec bump over the original ally...I'm there day one
I recommend you read the leak article.... The specs of Kennan vs Rog Ally 2 would be very different."Indonesian publication 91Mobiles found a certification for a new ASUS handheld at the local certification company for two different models: the RC73XA and the RC73YA."
"The white one seems to be the regular Asus ROG Ally 2, while the black one appears to feature an Xbox button and could therefore be the Xbox branded handheld."
White = ROG Ally 2
Black = ROG Ally 2 with Xbox Branding
Iook like It

I've seen a lot of wishcasting on such product, most of them seem completely delusional. Zero chances it's anywhere in the realm of Steam deck price + usability.
So anyone interested in such products, would already have bought them before the tariff war stupidity came to play.

ask for the price jizz corden.![]()
That's when you simply use a lower TDP like 20 or 17 watts. 36 watts is reserved for when it is plugged in. For the ROG Ally X, the 17w TDP allows it to last for 3/3.5 hours on modern AAA games.It will be glorious for all 1.5 hours that it will last on a battery. 36 watt APU is no joke.
The screen is 8" 16:9.
Black one is probably Z2 Extreme and the white one Z2.
Damn.....is this thing a massive finger print magnet or were 10 people trying to play the thing at the same time?
And it's very cheap to run since it runs on orange sodaThis is just one of the products. Project Kennan is the fat design the other product, Project Kel, is the slimmer one.

What's the point of doing a partner one if you are doing an official one?
