Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

    I bet that is Microsoft getting scared, that the Steam Deck is taking it’s market share and paying Lenovo etc. to make Windows handhelds.

    The UX will never be as good as the Steam Deck though since Windows just isn’t made for that

      I’m not sure Microsoft even thinks about gaming handhelds at this point. It’s not a huge marketshare. I think the steam deck at most sold 3 million units. The market is still real small.

      Is the ROG Ally dead in the water? It seems to be gaining some traction. I don’t think it’s going to overtake the Steam Deck or anything, but it satisfies that customer who wants a little extra power, resolution, and compatibility.

        Every other comment i read from people who own the Ally is how clunky windows is for the form factor or how a windows update broke stuff. I mean sure, there’s going to be a few people who will buy it but i don’t see any windows handheld as a true competitor to the Deck, at least not before it gets a true handheld mode.

        How much more fps do you see on the ROG Ally with the unit not blasting the fans and having 30 min battery? Curious for real.
