The new collaboration between Xbox and Asus, the cumbersomely named ROG Xbox Ally X, is a strange old thing. As Tom elucidates in Eurogamer’s review of the device, it is many things at once. Marketing will tell you that it is ‘an Xbox’. The reality is that it is a PC, of course, albeit one with an Xbox interface grafted on. It’s something of a Frankenstein’s Monster in that sense, though like the monster it is also hardy and functional. One can see the case and audience for it.
