The biggest update of Xbox Ally’s specifications could be better Windows 11 for hand machines

The same as Windows Gaming is desirable.

It has never been the hardware. Designs are not perfect in many devices, even the best of the lot, the Asus Rog Ally and Rog ally xthey are the base of the next Rog xbox ally – But they can usually be played.

The culprit has always been Windows. It is simply not an operating system designed for a dedicated hand game that needs to be changed.

Of course, we would all love Xbox Ally to be cheap, somewhere in the range of the Nintendo Switch 2$ 450. But although we still do not know real prices, it seems more likely than $ 600. With the exception of the processor, which is designed taking into account, the specifications are the same as those you can find on a full laptop of Windows.

I cannot deepen the low -range range of the ally, I have only tried the higher -end, but in the state -of -the -art hardware, many games work well, at least 1080p, and people know that it went up to 4K with an optional discharge station.

But Windows has much more to overcome.

Window discomfort, write small

There are many pieces of the operating system that serve as a useful basis, many of which share with Xbox – and that allow you to run games from any game store in Windows, one of the main reasons why we want the laptops. These parts also allow connections with possible peripherals and communications, as well as supply an architecture to incorporate and (where it makes sense) for games.

But in layers, the basis are the millions of lines of code (if not more) necessary for an operating system that seeks to be all things for all people, along with an interface aimed at serving a multiplicity of uses. Can make the game a misery. Microsoft has the opportunity, really the need, to undress Windows to its game essential want to love.

Things need to change for game games and many of these things would make Windows an operating system that we could hate a little less.

• Windows update: Frequent updates have become a fact of life and game devices are no exception. And if an update provides solutions or improvements to games related to games, it’s okay. But when I am ready to play and I have to sit through 10 minutes (or more) updates for parts of the operating system they have Nothing to do with gamesI bother. You can postpone a while, but at a certain point, it gets angry and things start to stop working. Then there are times when updates insist on passing, though you postponed it. As I write this, I received an emerging notification in the Ally X that needs to restart and it is estimated that the update takes 30 minutes. “No. Thank you. You.”
• Windows login: Default Windows 11 forces you to log in on a Microsoft account; This is a annoying but common practice on many devices, including consoles. But it should be much easier to make it with a laptop, such as with a barcode scanned by a phone, the way you can log in to Steam, as well as a simple way to say -to avoid authentication if you do not need it. The keyboard on the screen is not bad, and a PIN code can be short, but it is still pain and not accessibility. The identification of the face does not work for these, and adding an IR camera on the long edge for Windows Hello would raise what is already a high price. I could continue, but I will save you the reference that re -experiences for all the systems I test.
• Windows Desktop: On a game -only device, you should never see Windows desktop unwittingly decide, just as you can use a steam cover (or a steam’s hand team like the Lenovo Legion Go s) Without having to know Linux’s desk, even exists. Each of these I used, at best, has an application to consolidate game pitchers and some other benefits related to the game. But they are rarely persistent enough and you always end up on the standard Windows interface at some point. Imagine -you just used Macs and that they face this experience. Yuck. The interface for a hand team like the Xbox Ally must be more than the background skin, much more.
• Downloaded: I have a fairly wide definition of Crapware: anything installed that I did not ask for and this is not essential for the operation of a device. Seriously, Microsoft: Microsoft Office, Teams, Linkedin and much more is an even greater space of space in a hand game than on a laptop. Games are huge, storage is usually too small for cost reasons, and each storage byte must be dedicated to the necessary things to play.
• Navigation by controllers to everything: On such a small screen, the touch alone does not cut it for an operating system and applications designed to use them with a mouse and can take you out of the game experience.
• HDR: You should not remember -you go to the screen settings and activate the HDR; It should be able to do it automatically when you turn it on inside a game. Generally you cannot leave HDR activated on the screens this faint (usually only up to 500 nights) without disorder the visualization of non -HDR items. But as far as I know, Windows’s only hand team with HDR is OLED Zone.

And these are just the things that stand out in my memory. There are many places that could also use a rationalized interface, such as Wi-Fi (Have you ever tried to find your own network listed when you live in a apartment building with at least 50 different ssids inside the range?).

And most of these would significantly improve the experience of PC Windows users.

Look at this: Xbox Rog Ally, Xbox Handheld, is real and I played it
