I can't be the only one who thinks "ROG Xbox Ally X" is a really stupid name.

Asus and Acer have some of the biggest dipshits in their design departments.

"Republic of Gamers" is cringe, and Acer settled on having "PREDATOR" written in all caps across their gaming laptops.

Gamer aesthetic is not, never has been, and never will be cool.

Just imagine what they’ll have to name the sequel.

It’ll be like Street Fighter games in the 2000s. Get ready for Super ROG Xbox Ally X Turbo HD Remix Plus Alpha Double Upper.

I think the idea is hilarious that in 2025 people would still trust Microsoft to competently launch a product and then not enshittify it until it is nearly unrecognizable.

Microsoft has zero capacity, competency or even desire to stand behind this over things like game streaming.

It's not a Microsoft product. It's an Asus product with a bit of Xbox sponsorship.

Asus ... Well that's half the problem right there. The other half being Microsoft

That doesn't make it any better

Well I hope Microsoft has next to no input on it then, for all our sakes not just the people at Asus.

It's both. It was co-developed by the companies.

Yeah they can't say because who fucking knows what tariffs will or won't be in place next week, much less when the thing launches.
