Summary
He argues the announced ROG Xbox Ally X is too expensive—about $700–$900—and offers insufficient benefit over a £400 Switch 2. He criticizes its thick, awkward design, non-OLED 7-inch 1080p/120Hz display, Windows overhead, and questionable battery-life claims. He prefers Switch 2 for Nintendo exclusives and portability, laptops for serious PC gaming, and sees the Ally X as redundant.
Insight
His handheld priorities remain value, portability, and distinctive games over maximum horsepower.
