SkyNews: What is it with this number seven?
When Bill Shakespeare famously wrote the "All the world's a stage..." speech in As You Like It he described, with fearsome accuracy, the seven ages of man. You'll recall it concludes that the seventh age: "...that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
Then we have the the seven wonders of the world, the seven seas, the seven deadly sins, the seven primary colors, the seven notes of the musical scale, and the seven days of the week - to name just seven!
And now another seven to add to our list: Windows 7. But before you get too excited, pause a moment. This is still some way off. But Microsoft were keen to talk to us here at Sky News about their latest operating system even before they send out the first beta release.
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
