The SDHQ Podcast

Hello everyone! This week's podcast episode is up on the SDHQ Patreon, and it's a special one! This week, we have Cary, also known as The Phawx on YouTube, joining us to talk about the ROG Xbox Ally X, whether it's a worthwhile improvement over the Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, and other Z1E handhelds, and the insanity that is the AI Max+ 395 APU.

This episode is a bit long, clocking in at almost 2 hours, but it is filled with tech breakdowns, performance tests, and determining which handheld is worth getting if you are starting your descent into PC handhelds, or whether you have a Z1 Extreme handheld like the ROG Ally.
