  • It’s a joke because if the RMA disaster that GamersNexus had when they sent in their ROG Ally for warranty repairs.

    TLDR: They sent in the device to fix a common joystick problem and ASUS wanted them to replace the whole top case and the screen for a shitload of money due to “cosmetic damage” (which was a tiny scrstch on the side of the device. They didnt even mention the broken joystick and built pressure through short deadlines and threats of sending back the device unassembled if they don’t act now.

    In the end, ASUS claimed it was all just a communications error and that GamersNexus simply misunderstood them and they could have just declined that repair to get ASUS to proceed with their warranty repair.


  • If it works as good as Rosetta 2 and has decent power, it would be a great addition to the market.

    Let’s hope they deliver, but I fear that qualcom lacks the software and x86 gaming background to pull this off by themselves. And as AMD is getting better and better and all the major gaming laptop and gaming handheld manufacturers already have way more experience with x86 hardware than with ARM.

    Creating a compatibility layer between to different architectures is already hard enough and Apple is one of the few companies with the necessary resources while having control over every aspect if their hardware and software.
