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.

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

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.
