I don't see why anyone would buy this. The Anyaneo systems are VERY expensive for what they are and the only upside was having a Windows handheld portable. Now with the Asus Ally, There would be little reason to spend the premium price for an Anyaneo product when you get basically get the same for half. I have a Steam Deck, Asus Ally and Ayaneo 2. I will say IMO the Asus Ally is the best of them all.

I would kind of agree with you on the price. I just looked and they want $1099 for 16 GB with 512GB on the Aya Neo 2 you have... But there will certainly be others who will find the upgrades worth the price.

Why no Thunderbolt 3/USB4? Its a $15 chip.

Hmm, the ergonomics of those touchpads looks even worse than Steam Deck's, which is already far from perfect, but at least they have them

I'm not sure how to feel about that though. On the one hand lack of trackpads is a dealbreaker for me, so I'm glad they're proliferating, but I'm slightly concerned that those ones are so bad they'll actually make people think trackpads are a bad idea and will stop other systems adopting them.

I been waiting for this and you say "why would anyone buy such a thing".

Rog is castrated, a device made of compromises, unlike the KUN which is the opposite.

1. Screen, i like them big, 7inch is too small, for me 8is minimum but i rather have 9 or 10 inch
2. RAM, 16GB for a shared system is nothing, I also want to use it as mini PC
3. SSD: 2230 is trash, its a compromise, they all Single package, and have no space for DRAM, because they dont have space fo NAND chips, everything from actual speed to longevity is affected, all the 2230 devices come with 200-400tbw, compared to 2280 models that can go above 1000 easily
4. Battery, ROG does 45 minutes at max speed and with passing months when battery life decreased youll get less
5. Having 7500Mhz RAM is a plus for shared Ram system
6. USB ports, single USB 10Gbps is nothing, all chinese devices come with x3, one of them is USB4, another one is usually YSB 20gbps or second USB4 and USB-A 10Gbps
7. Proprietary graphical port for EXTREMELY expensive eGPUs
8. [well its part of #7] no Thunderbolt/USB4 or Oculink [all ayaneo consoles have USB4 and that goes for AOKZOE and all chinese handhelds]

If ROG had 32gb of RAM, i could try and use it with 7inch and 2230 and the battery i don't care about since i never take it outside [smaller battery still a minus thou]

The only thing ROG has for itself is 120hz+VRR+BFI and that you can buy it locally

It has USB4, all AMD based asian consoles come with USB4, sometimes dual USB4
KUN has USB4 guaranteed, it doesnt have Oculink thou
