An Xbox handheld is potentially in the works, but is still a few years out.

Phil Spencer has said he thinks being able to play games locally is really important’ for a handheld console.

A handheld running on Windows 11 instead of a standalone operating system would be appealing because it’d let you run whatever you wanted, rather than just what’s on the Xbox Store.

A controller-friendly Windows UI would do wonders there.

The AMD Z1 Extreme is using a Zen 4 CPU core, along with an RDNA 3 GPU core.

It has awesome graphics performance, but doesn’t draw too much power, allowing you to play games on battery for a few hours .

The trade-off is that it’s not great at moving above 1080p on medium settings in most games.
