  1. $599 Asus ROG Xbox Ally and $999 ROG Xbox Ally X now available for pre-order

    The first Xbox handhelds are almost here. Microsoft and Asus announced in June that they had developed two new handheld gaming PCs called the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. At the time the companies revealed most of the key specs, but left out a key detail: how much the handhelds would cost.

    Now that they’re available for pre-order, we know: $599 and $999, respectively.

    Both handhelds […]

  2. Lilbits: Anker Power Bank recall, Steam for Apple Silicon, and the latest Xbox handheld rumor

    There are literally thousands of power banks available for folks looking for a portable battery that you can use to recharge your phone, tablet, and other gear on the go. Anker makes some of the most popular models, so you could say the company’s products are hot. But sometimes they might be a little too hot.

    Case in point: Anker has just issued a recall for PwoerCore 10,000 mAh power banks […]

  3. Microsoft may have scrapped work on its own Xbox handheld in order to focus on improving the Windows experience on third-party hardware like the Asus Xbox ROG Ally and ROG Ally X. The Verge reports the Microsoft-designed model is "essentially cancelled." theverge.com/notepad-microsoft

  4. Lilbits: NVIDIA & MediaTek’s chip for gaming laptops, Pixel 10 Pro leaked, and where are all the CAMM2 modules?

    Qualcomm currently has the monopoly on ARM-based chips for Windows laptops. But that could change in the future. Earlier this year NVIDIA introduced a GB10 Grace Blackwell “Superchip” for AI PCs that features a 20-core ARM processor and NVIDIA graphics. The company worked with MediaTek on that processor, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang hinted that the chip (or something like it) could eventually […]

  6. Lilbits: Xbox handheld, Nintendo Switch 2, Pixel 4a battery, and the return of Android lock screen widgets

    The long-awaited Xbox handheld could arrive this year… but if the latest rumor is accurate it won’t be made by Microsoft and it may be more of a Windows 11 handheld with Xbox branding than a portable console.

    In other recent tech news from around the web, if you were wondering why Google issued a software update that cut battery life for the Pixel 4a in half, now we have an answer: to […]

  8. Lilbits: GOG brings old games to new PCs, VMWare goes free(er), Apple smart screen leaked, and more

    Game Platform GOG no longer goes by the name Good Old Games, since GOG now offers new titles as well. But GOG hasn’t exactly given up on its roots. Today the company announced the GOG Preservation Program, an initiative that helps ensure old games are compatible with current and future PCs.

    In other tech news from around the web, VMWare Workstation Pro and Fusion Pro are now free for commercial use (they went free for personal use earlier this year), there’s a new build of Ubuntu Touch available, a Chinese company claims its ePaper display has a much higher refresh rate than E Ink color screens, Apple is said to be working on a six inch smart display designed to be wall mounted, an Xbox handheld may be in the works… and Amazon’s Fire TV 4K Max is on sale for its lowest price to date.

    The GOG Preservation Program Makes Games Live Forever [GOG]

    Game platform GOG has announced a program where the company will “commit our own resources to maintaining” compatibility of classic games with “modern and future systems.” In other words, games with a GOG preserved program that were designed for older hardware and operating systems should not only run on a recent PC, but will also be updated to work with “future popular PC configurations.” Like all games available from GOG, preserved titles will be offered DRM-free, and there are offline installers so that you can install and run games even if GOG goes out of business. About 100 “preserved” games are available so far.

    Despite brutal price hikes on many products, VMWare makes Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro free for all users [Tom’s Hardware]

    After announcing earlier this year that VMWare Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro virtualization apps were free for personal use, Broadcomm has now made those applications free for commercial use as well. Existing customers will continue to get enterprise support until their commercial contract expires, but moving forward it looks like the company will offer these apps are a free alternative to its premium, subscription-based cloud services that have seen recent price hikes.

    Ubuntu Touch OTA-6 Focal Release [UBPorts]

    Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-6 is now rolling out for supported phones and tablets with wireless display improvements, Fairphone 5 support, and more. But the anticipated VoLTE support has been postponed.

    Guangzhou Aoyi launches ultra-fast color e-paper display [ITHome]

    A Chinese company called Aoyi is showing off a color ePaper display that it says delivers higher refresh rates and better color gradient representation than E Ink. But a demo video shows that video still looks shaky, so it’s not quite an LCD/OLED replacement.

    Apple’s Next Device Is an AI Wall Tablet for Home Control, Siri and Video Calls [Bloomberg]

    Apple is apparently making another play for the smart home/smart speaker market with a new device that’s code-named J490. It’s expected to be a small display with an integrated camera, speakers, and battery. It supports touchscreen controls, but also voice interaction handled by Siri and Apple Intelligence.

    An Xbox handheld is still at least a few years away [Bloomberg]

    Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spenser says the Xbox team is looking at developing a handheld, but it’s at least a few years away. Based on this article, I think it’s more reasonable to say Microsoft is in the exploratory phase than to say that the company is actively building an Xbox handheld though.

    Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for $33 [Amazon]

    This is the lowest price to date for Amazon’s most powerful media streaming stick to date. While the entire Fire TV lineup is on sale right now, this is the only model in a stick form factor to support WiFi 6E.

  9. Lilbits: the Xbox Handheld is coming (eventually), another Linux phone, and some WWDC odds and ends

    Apple kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today with a keynote where the company laid out some of the new features coming to Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and the Apple Vision Pro headset. Leading up to the event, there was a lot of buzz about Apple’s first big foray into the AI space. But Apple didn’t really even get to AI […]

  10. Many folks had expected Microsoft to unveil an Xbox handheld during the Xbox Showcase this weekend. The company did not. But Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer pretty much says one is on the way, and it'll be a full-fledged console, not a PlayStation Portal-like streaming device. buff.ly/3ySaHyF
