Because I feel like it here is some random insight into the Xbox Rog Ally:

- its handheld PC just like the “normal” Rog Ally and close to a Steam Deck
- it’s not a dedicated portable like a Switch or Switch 2
- it has a similar Chipset to a Steam Deck so it’s similar in power
- it’s still just running Windows 11 with the Xbox windows app always open.
- You can play from any game store that works on Windows but they want you to “import” executeable paths into their launcher for those other stores
- Battery life will be similar to the existing ally
- I suspect they will push hard on the cloud gaming front for this device opposed to local play
- expect poorer performance because its reliance on Windows
- No this isn’t a Steam Deck or Switch Killer
- I speculate this will launch at 599 and 699 respectively.

And while the Xbox Ally devices run Windows 11, they will boot to what Microsoft is calling the "Xbox Experience for Handheld," a bespoke full-screen interface that hides the nitty-gritty of the Windows desktop by default. That gaming-focused interface will "minimize background activity and defer non-essential tasks," meaning "more [and] higher framerates" for the games themselves, Microsoft says
