Leaked: Asus ROG Ally 2 with AMD Z2 Extreme CPU and 64GB RAM — Black Model Includes Dedicated Xbox Button

I was just scrolling through my feed—honestly, who knows why I’m ever scrolling—and bam, I spot this news about Microsoft’s Project Kennan. And let me tell you, it’s, uh, morphing into some version of the ROG Ally 2 series. I stumbled upon it from 91mobiles and this dude Huang514613 on X. Asus is cooking up two flavors of this ROG Ally 2 thingy: a black one that’s got this Xbox Button boldly front and center, and then a white one—less fancy, I guess, meant for the common folk.

You know, Project Kennan’s been on the radar for a bit, but details were hazy. Now, finally, it seems like we’re getting a clearer picture—model ID numbers pop up, and next thing you know, folks link ‘em to the US FCC docs. They’re doing that thing again where they have models with AMD’s Z1 and Z1 Extreme processors—just like before—with about a $100 difference. Old habits die hard, and Asus is clinging to x86 processors so it can run your usual games and stuff.

And that Xbox Button on the black one? It’s like, practically screaming “Project Kennan” at you. But, oh wait, ’cause despite all this razzle-dazzle, we’re still stuck with Windows 11. Not some slick handheld OS. The button? Probably just pops up the Game Bar, same as your trusty PC. Guess we’ll hang tight for official word to see if Microsoft throws in more goodies.

Did I mention AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme thing under the hood? It’s got eight cores—Zen-whatever and such—paired with a 16 Compute Unit iGPU. Oh, and some 64GB of memory thrown in, plus a 2TB SSD. Yep, and a 7-inch, touch-screen display, sporting 120 Hz, so the smoothness is real.

The white model, though, that’s where it gets interesting—or not, depending on your patience for specs. It’s got this, uh, new chip from AMD, an “Aerith Plus” or some such, with 16GB RAM. There’s a buzz about a 65W charging option, too. We’ll probably find out more when AMD and Asus get chatty at Computex.

But for now, follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News or whatever for the freshest news and deep dives. You won’t regret it—or maybe you will, who knows.
