Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025: ROG Xbox Ally X

Was times not there when the original rog ally released like 2 years ago? All this is is a slightly better version of that.

i worked in a children's orthopedic surgery department for a number of years, &, if this stuff's the real deal, then, yes, it'd be huge. glad to hear your daughter's doing well. kids are warriors...
That sounds like an awesome job. She is doing great but she was on her way to work as an RN at a NICU when it happened. She is a warrior though. :messenger_squinting_tongue:
 
first thought is how tf do you call it an invention lol. It's got a rog with an xbox button.


BUT if xbox can make a version of windows that works handheld with no fluff and fuss. That would be a big deal

I remember you being an xbox fanboy, didn't you had another codes name? Anyways good thing you jump shipped before the ship sanked.
It was omeggos, an old nickname from my xbox days.

When i became a gaffer, i was already kinda swapping between xbox and ps with pc being my main go-to

(I am definitely unapologetically a nintendo fanboy still though. Though I'll still give them shit for dumb decisions)

Played on one this last week at an event at Stockholm.

AMD and Asus were there and there were discussions. Nothing concrete. But the big push is using the AI tops in the ally Xbox to push fsr4 types of scaling.

This thing could be dope in early to mid 2026 so I'm going to hold out to see how it goes.

It might not be this model but in the future, image scaling is going to be awesome on these devices. They are going to be even more appealing.
 
They make it sound like the "innovative" part is being able to play your Xbox and PC games on the same machine, which would still be a weak invention, but it can't even do that. It doesn't do it any better or worse than a normal PC using Play Anywhere.

Just about every first party digital xbox one/SX games are cross-buy between console and pc

Okay, so what about the games on Xbox that I actually give a shit about?
 
If Microsoft had actually pulled off uniting all PC launcher in one seamless, unified UI, I could see the case for it. Seems like they are nowhere close to doing that though.
