- Microsoft has announced the Xbox Rogue Eli and Xbox Rog Eli X -Hands, the Xbox Rogue Eli and the Xbox Rogue El X -Hands, in the holiday season.
- These Windows handhelds directly boot in a controller friendly UI and offer an Xbox button to seek the game bar Overley.
- Microsoft has also closed various Windows elements in the name of gaming performances.
We have just heard that Microsoft and Asos were working together on an Xbox brand -branded rogue Eli handheld. Now, companies have indeed announced the Xbox Rogue Eli and Rogue Elx Devices.
These machines are not actually handheld Xbox consoles, as they are still running Windows 11. However, Microsoft Says It made considerable changes to the software experience. This is good news, as UI and software experience has long been the biggest problem with Windows -based handhelds.
Large software changes
For starters, Microsoft says Xbox Rog Eli Handhelds will boot directly into the “Xbox Flyscreen Experience” for more intuitive and efficient handheld environment.
Microsoft added, “With the new amendment that minimize background activity and postpone unnecessary tasks, more system resources are dedicated to gameplay, especially for gameplay.” Microsoft’s executive told Stuffy That he turned behind 2GB of Ram by shutting down a “bunch” of desktop wallpapers, task bar, and other Windows. However, if they want to do so, users can jump into traditional Windows environment.
These handhelds also offer an Xbox button to seek the game bar Overley, which includes the Asus Armori Crete integration. Finally, Microsoft notes that it has improved the lock screen and task switcher for the controller input (I don’t think, better late). Otherwise, you can still access other stores on the device, including steam.
Xbox Rogue Eli: What’s the hardware?
The two -Xbox path ally models share multiple features, namely, 7 inch 120Hz IPSLCD screen (1080p, guerrilla glass Victos), microSD expansion, M2 2280 SSD that may change, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi -Fi 6E, and 65W.
The standard Xbox Rogue ally has an AMD Ryzen Z2 a processor, a 60WH battery (more than 40WH in the original ally), 16GB RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and two USB-C ports (USB 3.2 General 2 display port 2.1). However, the Xbox Rogue Eli X Model has increased brick with an AMD Ryzen Z2 exstream chip (an upgrade from the vanilla Asos Rogue Ely X), an 80WH battery, 24GB RAM, 1TB internal storage, and USB-C 4.0 (USB 4.0 with Thunderbolt 4 compatible).
Interestingly, Asos claims that playing in silent mode on Xbox Rogue Elite will play in the performance mode on the previous Elx, while still offers more battery life. Unfortunately, the company is not yet eliminating the specific life -long life data.
Microsoft and Asos have not yet revealed prices, either, just confirming that handhelds will be available this holiday season. It is expected to find the Xbox Rog Eli Line in several markets, including Australia, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and the United States. However, Microsoft added that finally handhelds will be available in other markets where ROG Eli models have already been sold.
