1k isn't bad for that. A lot of hardware in a small package.

Wow, no thanks. I get that its "fully portable" and whatnot but for $1k? Nope.

>Microsoft and Asus revealed the ROG Xbox Ally handheld PC gaming line in June and promised an October 16 launch date in August. But they waited all the way until Thursday night to reveal preorder pricing set at $599.99 for the base ROG Xbox Ally hardware and a whopping $999.99 for the souped-up ROG Xbox Ally X. Those prices put the baseline ROG Xbox Ally units in the same general price tier as competition like Valve's Steam Deck OLED, Lenovo's Legion Go S, and even Nintendo's Switch 2. But the higher-grade ROG Xbox Ally X is significantly more expensive than almost all competing gaming handhelds, thanks in part to components like a Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor and an NPU that Asus says will ensure it is ready for a future when "AI enhancements" are rolling out in new games.

CPU/GPU combo looks decent as well. Get the dock and you can use this as a daily driver.

That would be true but just under a year ago I built a new Ryzen9 system and have no need for something like this and won't for a long time. I don't even have the system maxed on ram yet and could upgrade the GFX card easily several times.
