Ok, so picture this — something that’s been cooking in Microsoft’s lab, called Project Kennan, is making waves now. Imagine it morphing into these new ROG Ally 2 gadgets. Came across this juicy bit from 91mobiles and some tech-savvy whisperer on X, named Huang514613. So, Asus has a thing for spicing things up with their ROG Ally 2 series. Two flavors: one all sleek in black with a shiny Xbox Button — yeah, you read that right — and a chill white one that’s a bit toned down for those not looking to burn their wallets.
Now, this Kennan thing… it’s like the worst-kept secret ever. Everybody knew about it, yet nobody really knew, y’know? Anyhow, someone poked around and found IDs that scream “I’m part of a super-secret electronic club” on this US FCC database or whatever. It’s Two models: one barely flexing with AMD’s Z1 and the other puffing its chest with the Z1 Extreme. They’re like $100 apart. Seriously though, Asus is all about hanging onto its x86 vibes for compatibility reasons. So thoughtful, right?
Let’s talk about this Xbox Button. It’s a bit of a drama queen, wanting all the attention. I mean, hello? It spells Project Kennan. But before you get all starry-eyed, it’s likely just running on Windows 11. No ninja operating system popping in. Maybe that button’s just a shortcut for the Game Bar — like, let’s not reinvent the wheel, shall we? Anyway, awaiting the grand MS speech to see what they cook up.
So, the techie whispers mention Project Kennan’s juicy insides. We’re talking about an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip — the sort that has eight brains working in shifts. Zen whatever-tings making it work like a mini beast. Plus, there’s this Radeon 890M, 16 compute units doing a jig inside, sipping power between 15 to 35 watts. Oh, and it’s housing 64 GB of some speedy RAM and a 2TB storage space — because we all need that, right? The screen’s waving a 120 Hz flag…
Then there’s this mystery white model. It’s toting around some newborn AMD chip. Know its secret name? Aerith Plus, bless its heart. This one’s got 16GB RAM, a touchy-feely 7-inch screen, and 65W of juice power. The inside gossip suggests it’s a Z2 series but a shy fellow hiding specific specs. I mean, we’re all waiting for some Computex gossip later.
