ROG Ally X is looking to be the best handheld if you care about real video games. How can /v/ make it look bad?

>Excellent battery life
>Modern AAA games
>Still cheaper than any console that sells games at an $80 minimum if you have a steam library with more than 8 games.
>streamcasting instead of docking
>Is a windows PC on top of that

Downsides

>Is a windows PC on top of that
>>Windows 11
>$1K dollarydoos
>Fagbox

seems worth it to anyone who has gone through one steam sale and has more than a few games that are no older than five years old. what does contr/v/arian think?

Your maximum uma buffer size is still limited to 8gb so you can't really take advantage of the higher system ram in comparison to other z1e devices. So considering I paid only 450 for my legion go and get IDENTICAL performance while having more applications than the rog ally x due to form factor and ergonomics including an optional mouse mode for FPS games, you're looking QUITE silly right now.

899 for a z1e is a scam and horrible value. Do not buy a handheld for more than 500. If you're gonna spend this much you should've waited for the z2e or the hx370 handhelds.

1000 bucks for a shitty windows PC.
>"BUT MUH HANDHELD!"
Just get a fucking switch or steam deck, or better yet, GET AN ACTUAL PC. I will never understand the obsession with cramming mid tier PCs into these fucking stupid bricks that will become obsolete within the decade.

Will the xbox version be different?

>>712941329
Yeah, it has the xbox logo in a button

>>712941329
Yep, you can't use more than 8gb of the system memory allocated to vram. It sucks but all z1e devices are like this.

Im waiting to see the specs and how well the new software runs. I have a feeling that Xbox will end up screwing the pooch a year in and implementing features no one wants like ads and spying.... but I might be wrong and they get it right.
>I have a steam deck, and honestly like it a lot
>I have a Lenovo Legion Go and see it as a perfectly fine windows version of the steam deck.
I ain't exactly rushing to get an Xbox branded legion go without a desktop mode, touch pad for mouse or detachable controllers.
But maybe they will impress me.
As it stands now I haven't trusted Xbone since the one disaster, and see them finally losing market share to Linux and proton compatability as a long overdue reality check... especially when they started implementing hardware requirements for Windows 11 and filled it with retarded bloat

Even as a kid I thought handhelds were lame. What's the appeal?
