Microsoft’s Windows Server 2025 introduces a long‑awaited, opt‑in native NVMe storage path that bypasses the decades‑old SCSI translation layer — and enterprising users have already found they can force the same native NVMe path onto Windows 11 by toggling the same controls. The change is...

The ROG Xbox Ally X arrives as a remarkable piece of hardware — a pocketable powerhouse built around AMD’s latest handheld APU, a 1080p 120Hz panel, and up to 24 GB of LPDDR5X — yet the OS choice has become the decisive factor separating a premium Windows handheld from something that truly feels...

Microsoft’s recent public comments and the Ally partnership with ASUS have pulled back the curtain on a hardware strategy that is at once expansive, pragmatic, and risk-laden — Xbox is clearly not walking away from building consoles and devices, but the path forward will increasingly mix...

ASUS and Microsoft’s ROG Xbox Ally lands as a pragmatic reimagining of the Windows handheld: a compact, controller‑first device that ships with Windows 11 and a purpose‑built, full‑screen Xbox experience designed to make PC gaming feel like a console without giving up Windows’ openness. The...

Lenovo’s follow-up to the original Legion Go — the Legion Go 2 — is less an incremental refresh and more a purposeful redesign: the company rounded the chassis, shifted controls and ports, swapped an IPS QHD panel for an OLED landscape display, and repositioned hardware to favour longer sessions...

The early consensus on the Lenovo Legion Go 2 is clear: this is a display-first handheld that pushes what a Windows gaming PC in your hands can look like, but it asks buyers to accept a high price, tighter upgrade paths, and the same awkward Windows 11 handheld experience that has dogged PC...

Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 arrives as a clear, risky bet: pack a near‑laptop power envelope and a best‑in‑class OLED into an 8.8‑inch, controller‑centric shell, charge a premium, and accept that not every buyer will like the tradeoffs. Background The Legion Go 2 is Lenovo’s second‑generation Windows...

Microsoft’s new handheld-focused Windows 11 “Xbox full‑screen” experience — the controller‑first launcher being trialed on the ROG Xbox Ally family — can be shoehorned onto older hardware like the original ASUS ROG Ally, and the early hands‑on results make clear where the performance wins...

Lenovo's next flagship handheld, the Legion Go 2, arrives as a strikingly ambitious — and expensive — attempt to redefine what a Windows portable can be, pairing a large 8.8-inch OLED, AMD's new Z2 family silicon, and headline-grabbing battery and memory choices that put it squarely in premium...

Lenovo’s newly announced Legion Go 2 will ship this October as a bigger, more expensive flagship handheld and — crucially for Windows handheld gamers — Lenovo says it will be able to run Microsoft’s new Xbox full‑screen experience starting in spring 2026, making the Legion Go 2 the first...
