Sure, let’s dive into this whirlwind of gaming news. Buckle up, folks.
So, picture this: Microsoft, being all mysterious with this thing called Project Kennan, is now, finally, no longer just a figment of wild tech dreams. It’s kind of becoming real—or at least more than just a cool name. Turns out, it’s hitching a ride with the ROG Ally 2 series. Or something like that. Anyway, according to 91mobiles and someone named Huang514613 (on X, not Twitter, mind you), we’ve got two versions incoming. There’s a black one with a fancy Xbox button—’cause why not?—and a white one that’s supposedly a bit chill with the specs, more for the everyday gamer perhaps.
Okay, pause—I mean, I’m just picturing these things sitting next to each other, one all sleek and dark and the other trying to play it cool but being all, “Hey, I’m approachable.” Now, there were whispers about this Project Kennan being official for a bit. No clue why I’m fixated on this detail, but it feels important somehow. Like, you know when you remember the bagel you forgot to eat three days ago? Yeah, like that.
So these handhelds popped up in the US FCC stash, and it’s like the OG ROG Ally showed up too, with its different personalities in AMD’s Z1 and Z1 Extreme versions. Price difference? Hundred bucks—give or take some loose change. Asus is sticking with x86 DNA. I guess it’s like hanging onto your old jeans ’cause they still work even with a hole in the pocket.
Back to this Xbox button—it’s screaming Project Kennan. Really, it is. And we all know it’s Windows 11-friendly ’cause, of course, it is. Maybe the button talks to the Game Bar? I dunno. We’ll see if Microsoft tosses in some secret sauce when they officially break the news.
Meanwhile, there’s this tweet with numbers that honestly, might as well be some secret code or a lost treasure map. RC73-something… pure tech babble, but hey, might mean a lot to someone out there, right?
But dig this crazy spec list on Project Kennan—Ryzen Z2 Extreme with all these super-duper cores and threads and a fancy iGPU or something. Memory that sounds like it could hold the universe (okay, exaggeration, but still). Plus, a 7-inch touchy-feely screen at 120 Hz. It’s like tech specs on steroids or something.
Then there’s the white model—carrying a fresh APU from AMD that I’ve never heard of called “100-000001835”—straight out of sci-fi, seriously. This fella’s got 16 GB of RAM, the same kinda screen, but slower charging. Why? Who knows? Maybe it likes taking things slow.
Now, oh boy, this Aerith Plus—named like a fantasy character—is supposedly like AMD’s Von Gogh (what a name!) from Steam Deck. Imagine if tech names aligned with art movements. What chaos!
The leaker says it comes with a Ryzen Z2 A APU—four cores playing around and a 6-20W power dance. But the real dirt? We gotta wait for Computex. Sigh.
So yeah, keep an eye on Tom’s Hardware if you need some serious analysis while I just ramble over here with this chaotic tech rollercoaster.
And breathe.
