Asus is releasing two Xbox-branded handheld gaming PCs, the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X, with prices potentially reaching $700 and $1050 respectively. These prices, leaked from alleged store listings, are comparable to or higher than existing Asus ROG Ally models, raising concerns about affordability. The devices run a Windows OS optimized for Xbox, offering Game Pass access and advanced connectivity features. However, the high price point, coupled with the relatively small handheld PC market, could hinder sales and impact Microsoft's gaming strategy. Final pricing remains unconfirmed, pending Asus's official announcement later this year.
