    Under specs, overpriced, should be $695.

    • bliss35 on 16/10/2025 - 13:38

      hideously overpriced, they've hidden the costs behind the Xbox name.

      It's literally the same device as rog ally x, just with xbox banner.

      • Dienk on 16/10/2025 - 14:01

        Ally X is $1599, how is this overpriced?

            @encryptededdy: Thanks for pointing that out. I gave this deal +1 thinking it was the Ally X spec and just revoked after realising it's not.

        No it isn't? Different body and different Apu, with the base Xbox Ally being less powerful than the Ally/Ally X and more in line with a Steam Deck, and the Xbox Ally X being more powerful. (These are awful names).

        • bliss35 on 16/10/2025 - 15:29

          Ah my bad sorry, the product names are really confusing. In any respect, the cost to value ratio is still bad.

            @bliss35: completely agree, the naming conventions for anything xbox related as been terrible, now asus has had to inherit that bad naming convention when teaming up with xbox on this.

      • GreyChris on 16/10/2025 - 21:06

        You mean it's the same as the rog ally. X is the much more premmy one.

      • chromium on 16/10/2025 - 21:17

        Thought it should be cheaper with the Xbox name on it, seeing as the Xbox name is mud these days

      dispite the specs its a windows device with an auto launch to xbox app, doesn;t play xbox games or anything remotely xbox lol its all pc games, you can apparently even switch it to launch steam if you wanted to on start up instead of the xbox app.

      for the price and what you get i will stick with my steam deck Oled the end of the day i don't need to deal with the pile of crap that is windows OS and its updates. steam OS simple and just works.

  • Mailboy62 on 16/10/2025 - 13:29

    I'm not going to speak on whether or not this is a worthwhile buy over a steam deck or any other handheld PC on the market right now but putting up pricing of the membership before this dropped after all the hype it generated feels like they wanted to kill this idea before it began.

    • VvaughnVillain on 16/10/2025 - 13:46

      I agree gamepass going up sucks. But I don't think it really has any merit to say that it "kills" a whole new handheld…

    • pw2002au on 16/10/2025 - 13:54

      PC gamepass through Telstra rewards is still $34.82 for 3 months (vs nearly $20 a month now for sub) for anyone buying this I would suggest you jump on an stack a few codes.

      • SimAus007 on 16/10/2025 - 14:23

        Also, plenty of ways to get full Gamepass Ultimate using 10% off Xbox gift cards, bringing it down to $32.35 PM - better than nothing :)
        But that PC Gamepass via Telstra is a good deal for 3 months for those playing on PC!

        • pn09 on 17/10/2025 - 21:01

          If you add the 3 month PC Gamepass code (from Telstra) to an active GPU subscription you get about 2 months of GPU

      • Replicant on 16/10/2025 - 19:04

        Is it actually still available through Telstra? As I haven't seen it in the rewards store for over a week now.

    • witheredcouch on 16/10/2025 - 15:03

      PC Gamepass hasn't gone up yet has it, so this shouldn't be too affected by that.

          I think you are meaning to complain about LCD vs OLED

  • ATangk on 16/10/2025 - 13:30

    This is the lower spec version, though it supposedly has the same cpu specs as the Z1E, and gpu specs is 200MHz slower.

    E: Nvm its much lower spec.

    I guess i could read up about it more, but am i right in thinking i cant play all of my xbox games (that i own) on this…? Do i HAVE to have gamepass to get xbox games to play? At the end of the day, its really a PC, so im assuming any pc games (whether they were bought using the MS store or steam or epic) are good to go, but i remember people talking about how if i own some older 3rd party game on my xbox, i probably wont be able to play it on this…..

    • scud70 on 16/10/2025 - 13:48
      +7

      This is just a portable PC, can't play xbox console games. Game pass is not required but this is probably the targeted users for the serivce, you can launch steam games and i assume other launchers (again it's just a PC with a "xbox" game launcher overlay)

      • ATangk on 16/10/2025 - 13:52
        +2

        It can only play games which are 'play anywhere' enabled, which includes PC. Which means its just a PC handheld. So why does it even have the Xbox name?

        • scud70 on 16/10/2025 - 13:55
          +2

          correct, it's just a pc! well the theory is that it's called an "xbox" because the next gen of xbox's will just be PC's there will be hardware from MS but other OEM's will also be able to build these "xbox's" as well (i.e. just PC's with APU's or pc bits n bobs etc) … this is their dip into this market to see the reaction and also to test out the xbox overlay (ala steam decks)

          also just to mess with everyone this is just a Steamdeck level hardware the ROG Xbox Ally X is the one with the newer higher performance parts that puppy ONLY costs $1599.

          If you have most your games on steam this is pointless to buy a steamdeck is cheaper and better.

          • ATangk on 16/10/2025 - 14:12

            @scud70: I have a Z1E, it’s not pointless because sometimes you just need a windows PC. That said with all the free games on Epic/Amazon games/GOG/etc, there’s plenty of titles outside of steam which are playable. And VRR is underrated.

            I just need to find a way to get a battery replacement so it lasts longer. Looking at the JSAUX kit.

            • JuryWheel on 16/10/2025 - 16:21

              @ATangk: I wonder what's better - a Z1E portable PC that has a SteamOS partition (same software as a steam deck), or a Steam deck that has a Windows OS partition…. Hmm

              • ATangk on 16/10/2025 - 16:30

                @JuryWheel: Z1E no doubt.

              • krisspy on 17/10/2025 - 07:23

                @JuryWheel: Deck already performs bad on a lightweight OS, imagine giving it windows bloat.

      i do like game pass and i have another year before it expires (i had those 3 years at super cheap prices type of sub) afterwhich i'll use some points to keep it going before i call it a day as the new pricing is not worth it in my case. :)

    • Jimbuscus on 16/10/2025 - 21:55

      In which case, I'd get a Steam Deck & either dual boot or have W11 for a while before flashing back.

  • Windfall on 16/10/2025 - 13:53

    I ordered the Ally X from JBHi-Fi. Its Z2A performance is actually worse than the original Z1E.

    • Windfall on 16/10/2025 - 13:54

      But still a good deal

    • scud70 on 16/10/2025 - 14:03
      +1

      ok so the Z2A APU is actually the same as the steamdeck so it will be weaker than the Z1E, the Z2 APU is fractionaly stronger than the Z1E but if you find a good deal for a device with at Z1E it is better bang for buck than the new Z2 (more powerful) models.

      AMD known for being horrible at naming and now are using the naming to basically pull the wool over consumers eye's especially the typical user who isn't into tech.

    • jirskyr on 16/10/2025 - 15:50

      I was vaguely interested if it could play my entire xbox catalogue (large number of games). To limit it to PC-compatible games, I get why that would be the case, but it hardly differentiates this device from any other of the handheld PCs.

      • guidedlight on 16/10/2025 - 20:13

        There are some vague rumours that Microsoft is working on this limitation. But I certainly wouldn't buy this handheld assuming you can play your entire Xbox library.

        • Jimbuscus on 16/10/2025 - 21:55
