Steam Deck seems to fit that pretty well but based on what I’ve seen and read on previous/older ROG devices months back, the Windows PC quirks (that I wouldn’t want to deal with) were going to be there.

It’s for those familiar with Asus ROG devices &/or other handheld gaming PCs. Very niche & not for the general console gaming audience.

I have no interest in it & handheld PC gaming isn’t for me at all. Easy to ignore instead of inaccurately treating it like an Xbox Switch despite flawed marketing.

Nothing I hate more than getting a new gadget and immediately needing to do a software update. Terrible user experience.

Sums it up well.

Microsoft has never really done the work to put Windows in a mobile space, phones, tablets, gaming handhelds, or otherwise. They've been mostly happy to ride the wave of popularity that the Windows name brings and hope for the best. This doesn't seem any different.

And as I said months ago here (below) the device is still being pushed & talked about as if it’s a dedicated portable Xbox/Series S and it’s not at all. Its very high price should help avoid appealing to those that think that’s what this Xbox-branded ROG is.

Still very messy though either way IMO.

Skimmed my feed and saw impressions & it looks like people that were familiar with previous ROG Ally devices are mostly OK with it.

I’m not interested in PC gaming and Windows (or Windows-like issues/tinkering) on a portable device sounds like a complete headache. Not for me at all. ::shakes head::

Never fun to realize your parents & their siblings are quickly becoming the oldest generation in your family.

"Batman Arkham City for kids" is a crazy good pitch and cool to see Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight deliver on it so far. Check out my preview! www.pcmag.com/news/i-playe...
