Xbox's latest device isn't a new console: instead, it's a set of familiar-looking handheld gaming PCs, and very expensive ones at that. After months of teases, rumours, and speculation, we finally have the official pricing details. You will be able to preorder both the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X as of today, with the standard Ally fetching $600 and the Xbox Ally X costing $1,000.
The cheaper of the two devices, the white $600 ROG Xbox Ally comes with a Ryzen Z2 A processor, which offers eight RDNA 2 cores and a boost frequency of up to 1800 MHz. This is almost the same as the Steam Deck, which comes in at half the price, and benefits from the lightweight, Linux-based SteamOS. Not a good start for Microsoft.
