It’s everything I want in an Xbox handheld.

It runs Windows. But it’s not stock Windows but an optimized version for gaming. And you have access to Steam, GOG, EGS, itch.io–and of course, Xbox Game Pass.

The Zen 2 Extreme chip is a giant step up in terms of mobile APUs, and offers a 30% gain on the Zen 1 in terms of graphical performance.

Apparently, people who’ve tried it say it feels like an Xbox controller. Which is good. I like the Xbox controller.

Now am I going to buy it?

Unlikely. My household already has two handhelds, and they each fit our needs very well.

But you know what? I’m glad Microsoft is taking the handheld market seriously. Both Nintendo and Valve should feel pressure to perform.

    Also a bit odd to bring up account creation date as if it improves your status - this is the internet, no “cojones” needed.

        You seem very concerned with being recognized for your contributions to the community. This isn’t a good look. I’ll save us both some time with a block.

        Edit - OP deleted comment:

        Dude. You turned this into a status game. Everyone here can see what’s happening: I’ve been around, contributed, engaged like a real human. You? You showed up five days ago and already act like you run the place. You know I’m not a bot. But instead of being part of the conversation, you’re posturing-like some self-declared gatekeeper no one asked for. Who exactly do you think you are?
