Handheld PCs are so cool, I got one two weeks ago, it feels like magic to have so much cramped into a single device like this, sure, phones are kinda similar in that aspect but, to have the PC's games and apps, it's just something else.

Thanks Bob for the contest! Very kind of you! Happy Holidays to you, Hannah, and of course Zim!

I mostly keep my subscriptions to music, but Bob - I finally subscribed and I should've done so a long time ago. Your videos are always great: well-produced, informative, entertaining. Also I have a ROG Ally arriving today, so what a coincidence.

I bought the Ally a week ago. I've been frustrated beyond belief! This definitely helps. Thanks so much!!

I'm so glad you decided to jump headfirst into all these handhelds. ^_^ Your videos are so fun!

Happy Holidays, Sir Wulff. thanks for the wholesome entertainment you provide!

I am getting a Rog ally tomorrow, thank you very much for the tips Bob 💪💪💪

I just got the ROG Ally and I'm glued to it, in fact I'm watching this video on it now like a psychopath

the battery indicator is helpful!

Merry Christmas Bob to you and your family and thanks for the great content this year.

Great video and info. Been browsing this and Asus Ally for a bit now. Enjoying my laptop and consoles for now but ill wait for a version 2 and hope for a better UI experience

I bought the lenovo go. It would be cool of the led on the joystick would turn from green to red according to the battery level. The other one could tell you the load on the cpu, or temp.

Asus has a very simple overlay that includes the battery bar and frame rate. I've been using that for status.

I've been saving up for about a year to get one of these. By summer I should have enough, and by then reviews will be even better.

I have the rog Ally and the steam deck and they have there highs and lows with them but overall I like both of them. 😊. Thank you for the videos this year they we’re quite entertaining and you and your girlfriend have a great Christmas and a happy new year

I'm glad I got the OLED steam deck. Battery life is incredible compared to what I've seen these windows handhelds do.

These Windows handhelds look great for raw performance and support that Linux can't handle (e.g. Game Pass, anti-cheat, etc), but I'm glad I got a launch Steam Deck. The suspend feature, great Steam integration, and most importantly, lack of Windows make me prefer the Steam Deck.

@@Anna_RaeI went through the top games for the last 5 years to identify the games that the Steam Deck can't play. It's pretty slim, and if I cared enough about all of the PS5 exclusives too, then I should just get a PS5 to play what the Steam DeckDon't.

I have had my Ally for a month now and I have never once used an external keyboard or mouse! But when docked is a necessity!

There are some tools or Windows distros with all the unnecessary stuff turned off, perfect to squeeze more performance and battery from your handheld. Also there are some alternative launchers like Playnite that automatically loads your games from other stores, and also it is customizable with plugins so if you want you could have the Switch UI in your handheld. Handheld companion is a utility that let's fine tune the power and controller configuration for multiple handhelds if you don't like their native apps.

I just received my wulffden xl mouse pad, I love it. Make one half the size with the same design, I'll buy one for my night stand. I love this, almost reached my monitors from the edge of the table, it is so big.

Screen rotation has been nice when i played DS or 3DS emul with the controllers off.

I'm more on Ally & Go than Deck. Planning to buy Ally or Go asap ❤❤❤

Love the set 😁😁 Thanks for the knowledge.

my suggestion to debloat windows, get rid of everything you can like skype, office and other stuff that is installed. This will free up a lot of windows resources, disable stuff like autopilot this will stream line much of your windows configuration. You could always download Tiny Windows also. But this is a must because with changing VRAM and other settings windows loves to eat memory.

Awesome vid !!

Thanks Wulff Den!

I get my legion go tomorrow 😂perfect timing

@BAHHHHB - what about emulator game saves and synchronizing? Do you manually setup a Google drive or something on every device? How's that work on non-windows? (Steam deck) what's the delay for each to save before shutdown or sync after getting on a new device?

Ive been messing with chimeraos on the legion go and i keep messing it up so eventually i'll have a upgraded steamdeck :D

The Asus rog ally also is able to use a full 2280 ssd using an right angle adapter!

Take a road trip to a micro center and test out the Legion go. If you like it they usually have it in stock for purchase.

Trying to run The Surge 2 off my microSD card is what killed my first ROG Ally. Not sure why I thought that was a good idea but I would highly caution anyone from using that feature at all until a better fix comes out. I have a new board on my Ally but I refuse to use it until better testing results come out. Weird problem.

Turn off core isolation for a significant boost.

I didn't have no problem setting up a Rog Ally with the virtual keyboard but I did have a Microsoft Windows account which might have made the process easier once I logged in.

Merry Christmas Bob personally I’m going for a Steam Deck later this coming year not one of the others cause of price ranges.

Hey thanks for the shoutout! I’ve also made an updated day 1 guide for the legion Go, should work on any windows device as well. Happy gaming everyone! and happy holidays!

i always keep an eye on those, but i've not much money as i not have a job now and there's too much choice with pro and cons. i know i ask for a lot, but the things i prefer on controller/handheld gaming are comfort/clicky buttons responsives and decent fps (much prefer 1/2 of the resolution if the framerate is solid 60) the rest are not as important to me. one day i'll finally decide to one handheld to rule em all (for me)

i tried emudeck on my ally and it was fairly broken because it didn't add the proper controller templates to steam so the controls were broken in every single emulator with seemingly no way to fix it

Love your content so much

Maybe this was for when the software was bug but now I recently resect my rog and when to the windows set up with just the touch screen and it was easy and fast no bugs no problems.

If you have a Best Buy credit card, you can get it for no interest as long as u pay it off within 24 months (about 30 bucks a month) . I switched my mobile provider to an add on to my internet to save 40$/mo to offset the added cost. You could do something similar and see no diff in your monthly cash flow and get a new handheld Pc.

How much longer can these guys keep goin

I’m not proficient in using pc and doing updates. I’m so confused and I’m struggling to understand what I need to do. I got the legion go yesterday and I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. I can’t even play games on the Xbox app because when I try to run the game I get ‘clip license device id does not match’ Tried ‘valorant’ and it open in a tiny box with no way to open it in full screen. I really want to like it, but I might have to return it. I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all.

Someday I will own one 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks a lot for the opportunity ❤

I am suprised Bob hasn't reviewed the OneXplayer, I love mine :)

It is interesting. I'm super annoyed by fan noise, and I can barely hear my Legion Go's fan...what's going on? Maybe your unit is defective?

lol came across this video and decided to watch bc I have a new Steam Deck only to find out the video is only about Windows handhelds. Is a Steam Deck not considered a PC handheld?

The login is a nice tip for all windows users. But it could be not super secure.

When I try to remove the windows pin thing, it brings me back to sign in when I reboot and makes me enter in a password. Any idea why?

I like to mess around with the legion go, on my first boot i did my typical windows debloat and also used CTT (chris titus) windows utility, cuts many of the processes down besides you likely want to uninstall most bs from these things as their aint a camera for teams.... unless you hook up a gopro or something, its a portable "gaming" pc, they can all be used like a laptop at the end of the day, moreso for the legion go, you aint gonna have your favorite browser in the background as you need that ram for your games, every little helps.

Hello from the UK

I bought the ROG Ally Z1 model right around this Thanksgiving and I loved it. However I just returned it to Best Buy today because it corrupted my 1TB microSD card. It was happening as I was playing the RE4 Remake and the game crashed twice. I thought it was the game at first until Windows popup a message saying the SD card couldn't be found. Thankfully I was able to get refund and just ordered a Steam Deck OLED 512GB today to save myself any more grief.

There is a WIDE market of dedicated emulation handhelds, so if that's what interests you, then I recommend just snooping around the market to see what fits your fancy. But in terms of "PC" handhelds, Steam deck will give you the best emulation experience by FAR, unless you exclusively want to emuate Xbox 360 games.
