Leaked Details: Asus ROG Ally 2 to Feature AMD Z2 Extreme CPU, 64GB RAM, and Xbox Button on Black Model

Sure thing, here we go:

So, here’s a thing that happened. There’s this handheld gizmo—kind of like, I dunno, a game-changer? Microsoft’s love child, or maybe stepchild, who even knows these days. They’re finally pulling back the curtain on this thing called Project Kennan. Or wait, is it Asus doing the heavy lifting? Anyway, it seems like it’s part of the new ROG Ally 2 series. I stumbled upon these little tidbits thanks to 91mobiles and some other source I can’t even remember.

Here’s the scoop: Asus seems to have cooked up two flavors of this device. You’ve got your black one—fancy-like, with its very own Xbox Button, which screams, “I belong to Microsoft!”—and a white one that’s a bit more mellow on the tech front. So, for the everyday folks, I guess?

Project Kennan wasn’t a secret, but honestly, what do we actually know about it? Not much, until now maybe. The leak fairies were busy linking it to some FCC stuff that shed a little light on what’s under the hood. The black beauty is basically shouting at us with its x86 core, keeping true to its gaming-enhanced DNA. The price difference might be a hundred bucks or so depending on the model, but who’s counting? It’s like comparing apples to… shinier apples.

Now, about the Xbox Button—big whoop, right? It’s like planting a flag on the moon to proclaim ownership. If you press it, boom, Game Bar pops up, just like on your PC. Windows 11 will probably be the OS. Wonder if they’ll throw in extra bells and whistles, or just let it roll with the basic groove? Waiting on that official announcement might be like watching paint dry, but hey, it could surprise us.

Meanwhile, for the nerds out there (because who else cares about specs?), under the hood is this beefy AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip. Eight cores (sounds impressive, right?), with a whack of specs I barely pretend to understand. The important bit? It’s got this iGPU thingy (Radeon 890M or something like that) and a snazzy 120 Hz 7-inch LCD display. Honestly, what’s with the fascination for refresh rates? Maybe if it waters my plants, I’d be interested.

The white version’s packing something weird from AMD with a code name I can’t spell without laughing: “Aerith Plus.” Sounds like a spaceship or a shampoo. This guy’s rumored to have a quad-core layout, whatever that means, and a TDP that’s anywhere from low to… also low. Can we just get the facts already?

I should probably wrap this up. Oh, and if you really wanna geek out, follow Tom’s Hardware… or not. I won’t tell you how to live your life.

Anyway, just my take. Who knows what’ll actually happen when this thing hits the shelves? Keep your eyes peeled, I guess.
