Shawn Hollister reviews the Xbox Ally and will host an AMA for subscribers to answer all your questions about the new portable Xbox.
I just reviewed the Xbox Ally. Feel free to ask any questions.

Sean Hollister is a senior editor and one of the founders of The Verge, covering gadgets, games, and toys. He has 15 years of experience working at CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. Hello! My name is Sean Hollister, and I have been an unofficial reviewer of portable gaming PCs for The Verge since 2022, when the Steam Deck and similar devices caught my attention. I also helped launch this site at various times.
Recently, I spent a week testing the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X — the first portable Xbox consoles created in collaboration with Microsoft and Asus. We are launching a new initiative where subscribers can ask any questions about the hottest gadget releases, stories, and events. And I didn't want to leave this opportunity just to my colleague Jen.
So, I will be hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) exclusively for subscribers this Thursday, October 16, at 9 AM Pacific Time / 12 PM Eastern. I will try to answer as many questions as possible. After all, it's you, the subscribers, who support my work!
Maybe Tom will join us too. So you can start asking your questions in the comments below this post right now. On Thursday during the live stream, I will answer additional questions in those same comments. If you need further tests, please send requests as soon as possible so I can check them out.
