Windows in your hands

September 28, 2025

Windows in your hands: Microsoft and Asus opened preorders for the new Xbox Ally handhelds, but don’t expect a budget price. These things run full Windows, not just Xbox games. Plug it into a monitor, pair a keyboard, or game straight from the couch. Starts at $599, but if you can swing it, the $1,299 Ally X is pure muscle and the one you want.
