The new handheld console was revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase, and I got to spend some time with my hands on it.

Microsoft and Asus have unveiled two new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds with a full-screen Xbox interface built for Windows. The devices aim to simplify handheld gaming by hiding Windows complexity and focusing on game access.

Both of these Ally consoles-meet-PCs use AMD Ryzen chipsets; the more powerful black machine has the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip, while the Xbox Ally uses the Ryzen Ryzen Z2 A. The latter comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X-6400 RAM and 512GB of M.2 2280 SSD storage, while the Xbox Ally X comes with 24GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM and a 1TB SSD.
