For anyone who isn't aware, 2280 and 2230 aren't read/write speeds, they're M.2 form factors. The 22 in both means that they're 22 mm wide, and the 30/80 indicates how long they are.
The 2280 in the ROG Ally X is an improvement IMO because you can get more capacity for a lower price if you replace the SSD, but there's nothing about the form factor that automatically makes it faster.
I'm holding off on ASUS stuff until they prove they've changed after they got called out by reviewers like gamersnexus, they made lotta promises after that and supposedly changed some stuff with how they handle problems and RMAs so just need time to see if they stick to it or not.
GamersNexus is like the last "bastion" of a big name tech group that won't hesitate to step on the toes of every fucking corporation that pisses them off.
The best part about them is they are big enough to not give a shit if a company tries to bullshit them or force them to change their mind (pull sponsors, blacklist em, etc).
The point where people get to self-sufficiency is when they usually you start seeing if they're full of shit or not and so far they've stuck to their guns.
To piggyback slightly: anyone know dirt about GamersNexus? They seem to really know their stuff and really advocate for the consumer, but I wonder if I've wrapped myself into an echo chamber and should temper my trust.
Smart. During crypto peak I bought a few dozen cards from Asus at once refurb. Almost all arrived severely damaged. Pins bent or missing. Wouldn’t POST, etc. wild shit.
It's just a poorly written article overall. I guess they need to learn language and writing in journalism school rather than gender politics.
I feel like the only one who doesn't care much at all about handheld gaming. I have a Switch that might see 15 days a year of light handheld use. I do very much like small form factor and mini PCs though. I'm typing this on a mini PC, and for non-gaming I can think of little reason I would need more. I'd love to see the day where a mini PC or even an APU would suffice for gaming. My system is already down to barely bigger than a PS5, and that's with a full GPU in it.

Shrinking technology has always been expensive, it's nothing new.
It's harder to make something smaller that does the same thing, and therefore it costs more to make. Shocking.
Not sure if a AI wrote that article or the person writing it is just retarded, probably both given their 'profession'.

I love it.

Asus is a shit company
Their next article: "and here is how you can download more RAM"
Almost nostalgic for the days of classic scams like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftRAM

Are those in dog years? Because woof.
