It’s everything I want in an Xbox handheld.

It runs Windows. But it’s not stock Windows but an optimized version for gaming. And you have access to Steam, GOG, EGS, itch.io–and of course, Xbox Game Pass.

The Zen 2 Extreme chip is a giant step up in terms of mobile APUs, and offers a 30% gain on the Zen 1 in terms of graphical performance.

Apparently, people who’ve tried it say it feels like an Xbox controller. Which is good. I like the Xbox controller.

Now am I going to buy it?

Unlikely. My household already has two handhelds, and they each fit our needs very well.

But you know what? I’m glad Microsoft is taking the handheld market seriously. Both Nintendo and Valve should feel pressure to perform.

    I make no claims for what you are. I said it reads like .

    Very generous of you to give games away to the community for free. Thanks for your contributions. A bit odd to bring it up though.

      But you kind of did.

      You arrived here five days ago and already have the cojones to claim that I, someone very active in this community, is an astroturfing bot.

      Can it just be possible that I enjoy PC gaming and welcome competition in this space?

      I already mentioned the Xbox Ally isn’t for me but if it brings console gamers to PC, that’s good.

        Also a bit odd to bring up account creation date as if it improves your status - this is the internet, no “cojones” needed.
