Loosing Microsoft bloatware is the number one reason I love the Steam Deck. Valve has ASUS beat in software development by a LOOOOOOOONG shot, and no offense, but I'm more impressed with Valve hardware than ASUS atm. Go play Half Life Alyx on a Valve Index and you will see exactly what I mean. (ASUS has no answer for Valve's VR innovations) Anyone playing with, modding, or repairing Valve engineered hardware knows how good they try to make the experience. I also run a VR gaming lab so the Steam Deck is never plugged in during use for me. I have plenty of desktops for that, It's always a handheld, and outlasts the ALLY every time.

This review sounds like it’s coming from a prospective of someone who doesn’t use handheld pcs much thus the focus on the negatives or perceived negatives. The price was the prim example. The expectation that the plastic would be betting in a 700 dollar handheld pc. I for one hopes this becomes a reality but in a world where windows devices like this typically cost 1000+ I don’t see that happening soon. Good review but for people who maybe expecting a console experience. If you are used to handheld pcs I would check Linus review or the fox.

very good review!

Just got mine today, and i love it, yes it did have a massive setup time, but after all the updates and tweaking, I gotta say probably my most favorite handheld since the psp

At least is an attempt to compete with the Steam deck, and I not only hope Asus improve on it's handheld, but that more companies do their take on Steam deck. Because then they'll start competing eash other and make better PC handhelds.

Horizon Zero Dawn has not crashed on my Ally... At least not yet, and I'm running the game on the highest settings and I have about 15 hours in. 🤔

what kind of pas trough charger is that. i cannot find it online. i am looking for something like this to connect mine to a portable screen.

I didn't hear anything about God / RTS games, & mouse substitution. Isn't there an optic mouse on it or something? Is this good for playing God games? Thanks

I tried Steam Deck (the original one, pre-ordered it, and waited a year). Return it 3 days later. Bought a Legion Go after weeks of watching the video and thought this was the one. Return it 3 days later after 2 days of installing stuff and hated the feel controller. Ended up buying the Rog Ally. Only had 2 days so far but after 3hrs of setting up which is I spent more gaming hours compared to the time when I had both SD and LegGo combined. Ally is the quietest, lightest, most high-quality feeling in hands, the best speaker one out of the three gaming machines. One of my games didn't run on LegGo but well for Ally for some reason which I thought they both basically have the same specs. And well for SD, love Steam OS console-likeness but hated that I couldn't play some of my games bc Steam OS.

Just got mine 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love it have had zero issues and if you stumble across this video looking to buy one go ahead and do it. It’s amazing.

I love the looks mate

I'd like to see a review focused on the Windows side, what you can do for work, I'd like something to carry around the office / factory and have a handheld PC

I bought a Rog Ally this week, and I'm hooked. It offered me way more options as an Xbox user and doesnt restrict my choices. Yeah the battery life sucks, but i only really have time to play in short stints anyway. But I"m really excited about the potential of this product

This is why you do your own research. I live my ally, and it works just fine. How about we blame the software and not the device. Gaming on windows is always a headache. The ally has some growing pains. Need we forget the steam deck went through the same things in the beginning. If you don’t like it don’t use it. Simple. But don’t bash it because you don’t like it..

For people that want a handheld gaming system only don't get this. But for a person like myself, It's perfect. It's plugged in most of the time and it's connected to my TV. So I play Retro & Current games. It's perfect for everything. For the people that don't like it, It's probably cause there not used to using a PC.

Bought Steam Deck and it was fucking garbage. Most buggiest piece of shit I've ever encountered. Probably fixed by now but I sent it back the same week I got it.

My question is, does it game without exploring? I don't need to know if I can run after effects. I wanna know can it run Crisis?

I've only had the blue screen issue when I i got myself carried away from connecting so many Bluetooth devices and running a few apps on performance mode

From an average gamer point of view. I honestly love my Ally. Of course you will run into software issues but its always fixable. Kinda feel like this reviewer is just being nitpicky as well. For the performace it offers i dont think its made from cheap material. Actually pretty sturdy imo

Seems like a you problem expecting a beefy gaming rig in a handheld form. I got this knowing not to expect to run games at high settings 60 to 120 fps on 1080p. 720p 30 fps and any where from low to a mix of medium/high depending on the game. Haven't had a single one of the issues you had. RDR2, Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Diablo 4, GTAV, Resident Evil 2, 3 remake, 7, Village and many others have all run well. Capped tdp at 15w with a custom fan curve and disabled cpu turbo boost and the temps never even touch 60 degrees. The only 2 games I have had frame rate issues with is Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Hellblade. Upped the tdp to 18w and no problem. A little hotter in the 60s, but runs great.

8 months later & I love my Rog Ally !!

Really called the Ally heavy ☠️

What was that website @10:38 ?

If you want a full glass panel one you need to splash out double on the Ayaneo2 s

Things that are putting me off getting an Ally are: 1. Sharp edges that digs to my palm. 2. Lack of auto resume like the SD 3. Lack of shade cache to prevent stuttering 4. Windows Jank 5. SD card getting fried due to poor placement That's pretty much it If it can solve those issues on the next iteration the bet I'd be interested for now keeping my SD

Where is an updated video of this ?

Lack of shader cache throughout the system to prevent stuttering is putting me off. If only it had a Steam OS alternative which was optimised for the ROG Ally. At the moment there are several issues with Chimera and other os.

Which one should I go for hexa core or Octa core

If one installa windows 10 on this will it cause problems ??

I find the ROG Ally to be lighter and far more ergonomic over the Steam Deck. Not to mention it charges twice as fast. Video in my channel.

I have a touchscreen monitor 15.6 inch thin and light that could work with a single type c cable from ally to monitor. That should make myself a touch pc with a single cable. Obviously another type c input into the monitor could also charge the ally.

Rog stands for republic of GAMERS

personally i am starting to think the companies are taking the wrong lessons from the deck/switch with all the focus on high resolutions and care only for "high plugged performance" but all these (Ally, Lenovo Go) so far has been going into for the size pointlessly high res (aka eats lots of the perf advantage it has over deck when not plugged) with barely bigger battery than deck , and yes perform amazingly in plugged 30W but sometimes worse than deck in portable "low W" just give me high perf device , thats also good at below 10W with some nice 720p oled screen and bigger battery 😄 like i get tons of people use theirs at home plugged only and for gamepad... but that kinda defeats a point of such device for me given i already got rtx360laptop at and can stream from it to buch of other devices ... so having 800€ device thats amazing only plugged/inhome kinda fill the nonexisting niche for me

The legion go actually makes a lot of sense resolution wise. Having a higher res panel won't hurt the battery life, since you can set it to 800p and have great upscaling. On the ally - I do agree though.

Just think lenovo seems to be getting in on action and wondering how they are going to do their system. Interesting some of htese big companies getting in handheld pc/tablet market. Though personally i would prefer a pure dedicated handheld console like switch. But some these handhelds gaming psc & tablets look interesting.

Honestly I almost got this too. I agree that the exterior design is terrible. The body would have been ok if they did better screen to body / border ratio like the Nintendo Switch OLED. Huge fail by the Industrial Designer on this. Sticking with my Ayaneo 2 until they get this on pat. PS My favorite part about it is that it has one of the best speakers.

I think this ROG Ally is amazing value. It replaced my whole desktop. I plug it into a USBC hub and it drives my 3 monitors, LAN, keyboard, mouse, storage flash drives, microphone, camera, game controller. AND I can play games on it on its own and coat pocket it going to a friends or partners house and can quickly plug into their USBC hub peripherals and have my desktop pc on hand. This use case cares less about your battery complaints and LOVES the fact that its full Windows 11 and has all the windows 11 updates and features. I don't want ASUS to put more "game launcher" bloatware on it than needed. Its perfect for 700$ CAD on black friday sale when i got it. I've not seen anything comparably good at that price that does all this. I've recommended it to a lot of friends.

PSVita ergonomic? I loved mine but the nubby joysticks and shoulder buttons were unbearable

Hi, I think Ally is much better than Steam Deck for AAA games. You need more time to to do customization for ROG Ally but it works much better after that. I can play at 1080p Hirizon Zero Dawn with 50 fps, also for Street Fighter 6 and Elden Ring. I am very Happy with that. The battery of Steam deck is better but it is not last long like 30 minutes more but the steam deck takes much more longer time to recharge it. I think that power bank is necessary for these device. Windows 11 can give you a lot of customization but if you are not computer user better don't take it. I have nintendo switch but i love my rog ally, it is the best device of this year. If i buy a laptop is not the same, because i travel a lot for work i have already a laptop with me and i can't take another laptop.

Love my rog only had it for a day but Should I trade my rog ally for a actual laptop? Definitely might miss the portability love how small it is at the same time I do like a bigger screen I do not own a pc

Im convinced that anyone who continually has software issues on the ally just isn’t built for PC gaming at all. The steam deck is great for the “console” feel, but to an avid PC gamer the ally is a dream. Typical windows issues and such are redundant when PC gaming is already your life. Unintuitive people seem to be the reason the ally is perceived as somehow complicated. Ive personally had the steam deck, OLED steam deck, and ally side by side. The first steamdeck hardly does anything better; sounds worse, games run worse, resolution worse. The only thing it does better is babysit non PC gamers by being more intuitive. The OLED does have a beautiful picture, but the sound is even worse than the first steamdeck somehow, and the performance boost is still a mile behind the ally. After having all 3, Ill only ever believe that either valve is paying people off to say the deck is better, or that people truly will trade off a massively more powerful machine because they cant learn to deal with windows; and those people most likely are the ones who buy an xbox/ps5 over a PC build. Understandable, but they really undermine the truly more powerful machine because they cant figure it out.

The main cause of the low battery life is that most people are using the full potential of the device and not limiting their framerate or TDP power. Also running their games at the maximum possible resolution and refreshrate ... Out of the box, Windows doesn't do a pretty good job when it comes to power saving, thats where SteamOS shines with its built-in fps limiter and TDP management sliders in the options menu.

Let’s not forget it’s a device to play “ON THE GO” don’t expect Desktop performance lol it’s built to be affordable also I can’t complain about build quality it’s good enough for a gamer enthusiast

This review is all over the place lol. I hate that it screams gaming, I wish that it did more than gaming, which it does, but I didn’t try because I was gaming.

can u play ps3 games on this handeld like tekken tag 2 ?

thank you for honest review... wanted to upgrade my steam deck .. but now Im sticking with my steam deck. handheld battery with system optimization really matters to me. I dont want headaches - just stable portable handheld device

Seems like the trend line of this thing over time went from "first impressions are great" to "after using for a while it is actually hella jank". It's a bummer because it looks really neat. Like, I see pics and videos of this thing and I just want one to feel it in my hands. The Steam Deck looks like it would feel like a football in your hands (I've never seen either of these things in person).

Use your own judgment, never let others decide for you. Steamdeck feels great in the hand.

Think it’s a fantastic tool/toy. Love it

So let me get this straight, it bothers you that a handheld gaming PC’s appearance screams that it’s a handheld gaming PC?

Is a gaming focused device, was marketed as a gaming focused device… you complain that it’s a gaming focused device… what?
