What's that? I was NOT CORRECT about the ROG Ally after all? Or was I and it's just improved SO much over the last 6 months or so that I had to revisit the console, talk about how amazing the ROG Ally is now, and the type of gamer who should pick up this Asus product? No that would b

Lol am i the only one that never had any problems with windows?
Yes.
Me either
No issues for me
I’m just here to agree with the title, I’m loving my ROG Ally! It’s awesome 👏🏽
Me too bro are you getting an update on emudeck ?
Nice! I absolutely love my Ally. I may have been one of the luckier ones as I didn't experience many major issues and I had mine since launch. The frequency updates Asus have pushed have certainly improved the experience too. I also have a laptop from Alienware with a 140W 3080 and I find myself gaming on the Ally more since it's easier to fire up from anywhere around the house. Excited to see where things go.
Love my ally. On it right now. PSP on steroids
Hell yeah thats how it feels. Makes me go back to my childhood.
Yep, it's a new gen psp for middle age tech heads😂
Well made and unbiased. I really do notice the improvements with the updates. One main deciding factor for me taking the ally over the steam deck was having a game pass subscription already. The ally was the go to because I could transition my games from the Xbox to ally seamlessly. I’ve been happy with the purchase. Great vid 👍🏼
No way!!! An ad spot? That’s so cool! 😮
Yeah man! First of many hopefully!
I've been using it since day one and love it. I got the ally as a device to pickup and play games as I don't game as much as I did when younger and tend to play more games with my son who is 6. But since getting it the device has changed my gaming habits. I found myself playing games on it more and more. I then got a dock and found myself playing games in an evening again. I then got a 3080 card for it and wow it's changed my gaming habits again.
I now find myself picking up the device to play a game for 30 mins or so and then when I play for a few hours I dock it and play my games on the TV.
The only issue I've had is it blue screened once but rebuilt it and it has not done it since.
For me it plays all games in handheld mode 30/60fps 720/1080 and 4k 60fps when docked.
They main gripe people have is the battery life but I never expected it to last for hours but for what I use my device for the battery life works perfectly.
Not had the SD card issue too but I only use it for ROMs all my games are on my 2tb drive I put in it.
This device is not for everyone but it's definitely been a great device for me.
I got a big question, that I couldn't find anywhere... if you use the ally for just you know browsing and movies. How long does the battery lest?. The deck has of course a bigger battery life by just using it as a non gaming handheld. ( I have the deck, but thinking on going with the ally) coz I need windows..
The Ally is the best tech equipment piece I’ve bought in years! I had a Steam Deck for 1 year then the Ally! And the 12 RDNA3 CUs are doing a great job at 25-30W! Awesome 😎 I’m a UNIX guy and loved the Linux experience on the deck but I admit I came to think Windows is an Advantage for flexibility on the Ally. I can play Fortnite with my son finally, Genshin works if you’re into Gacha (don’t do that) and new AAA games at least “run” not amazing but all the Deck isn’t powerful enough for the Ally gets it done! Plus the VRR screen is awesome too. AMD chill at 50-52fpsis the greatest thing I recommend! Now AFMF can help in some games too. Wish there was a 32GB Ram version. Only complaint. I run with 5-6GB vram which leaves System Memory a little low
I thought 16gb was enough? It runs older aaa games like gta 5 on high ultra fine which is amazing!
Will buy the next edition with 32gb
How is the browsing experience in ally ?
Excellent video. How does this guy not have a million subscribers?
Minecraft Bedrock & Java Edition both work absolutely fine on the Deck btw. There’s a Bedrock launcher that gives you the NATIVE Android version (which is Linux too) and Java runs even on a fridge or toaster ! Prism launcher is the way to go there. Both launchers in the discover store easy 1-click installs.
My ally experience: bought it, absolutely loved it and got me heavy into of gaming so I got a ton of games on sale. Windows update broke ally and then had nonstop driver issues so I put it away and got a laptop that runs everything at 1440p 140+fps. Came back to the ally 3 months later and updated it and now it works flawless as a streaming device from the laptop🤦🏼♂️😂 happy with both devices and they compliment each other well but it was definitely a rollercoaster getting here
I dont get why people make the arguement that windows constent updates are a massive con for the rog ally...no it's not the updates have a massive gap even if by chance you missed an update it's not gonna affect your playtime in no way not to mention you can just update the rog ally anytime and anywhere it's literally portable I don't understand how content update are a con for the rog ally
Ally is amazing the best tech thats been released for a good few years
I hsve the regular z1 and it plays everything i played.
Ally is way better
I’ve recently decided to look at buying the ROG Ally as a gaming PC. However, the moment I decided that, I heard about the Ally 2 rumours. And now I don’t know if I should wait to see what upgrades that device will have.
Wait
I love steam deck oled more. I personally play retro 2d games and emulators more, so steam deck power is enough for me. Also, the bigger oled panel is a game changer for me. When you look at oled panels, it is hard to go back to lcd panels. 😁
Asus rog ally is Great
Oooh! I’d love to see you do a video on using Bazzite on the ally. It lets you take the Steam OS experience from the deck and get it onto the Ally or other handheld PCs
Seems like a good way to solve the windows OS handheld problem on other handhelds
I seen somebody put it on their ROG ally and although it seemed like a smoother interface the battery life really didn't change much and that was the biggest factor for me
I did this and actually had a good amount of issues. VRR wasnt working, I couldn't change wattage, I had ussues with games loading, and also had issues with frame limiters. There were more issues that were less severe, but I ended up reinstalling windows after a day. I also used to have a steam deck and I actually love the OS.
What a load of bollocks ^ I have Bazzite on my Rog ally and VRR works, there's a option in the menus, it works flawlessly for me, even have a disabled CPU boost, I can suspend and install decky plugin with tdp controls, worth it! Been using it for months now! Games work better due to Linux ability for shader cache optimization
Its now msi claw (after latest update) vs the ally
oh how edgy you swore. I'm gonna subscribe. you legend. So impressed.
I found the asus used for 400 at a pawn shop. I'm not sure if it's worth buying when I have the steamdeck already
It's not, but that's just my opinion. I have both at the moment due to videos like this that convinced me to get an ally. The battery life is terrible and most games I play play perfectly fine on the SD. But you may differ on your opinion. I'm returning my ally tomorrow since Im still within my return window
Seems like your just hoping on the Ally wave of good news because the first half of the video, like windows start times, touchscreen, responsiveness, all that stuff has been unchanged. The only thing that is faster is Armoury Crate and game optimizations. The ally been good, the only thing that just needed improvements was performance at lower TDP and just overall game performance and compatibility.
Seems like when the Ally was getting hated on by tech CZcamsrs, you and many others were hating on the Ally for the smallest reasons, many reasons that the Steam deck actually suffers from too. But now that the Ally is getting universal praise from the big handheld CZcamsrs and more, now you and other people are “changing your tune” on the Ally. Now all of a sudden it’s a good machine when in reality it was good Day 1
Oh don't get it twisted, I still prefer the Steam Deck over the Ally. This video is just an acknowledgement that previous videos have been rendered inaccurate with updates and time.
@@ProfessorTek yeah I’m not saying your preference changed, but some of ur criticisms about the Ally were unfounded to begin with. But you were alright talking about them during that time period because hating the Ally got you clicks.
Idk just really weird. I wish people looked at things more objectively and less subjectively. Idc about if a person thinks the ally, steam deck, or Go is better, but the discourse around it do bother me. For example Don’t say Steam deck is a 10/10 and Ally is a 3/10 cuz that’s false and just straight feelings not even looking at it objectively
In reality, they all are good with very minor differences. Some are bad differences some are good but to rate, I think they are all 8/10 devices, the Go is like a 7/10 tho but the Ally and deck are on equal footing at 8/10
The legion go would break through better if it wasn’t almost 250$ more than the asus rog ally..
Should I just wait for the next gen ally or do I get the ally now?
Wait
They’ve already said it’s getting announced first week of june
You could get it since they are cheaper now, the next model Ally X won't change that much, it's just more battery and a bit of extra Ram but will cost $$$$
The ally is nice bugs and all. Asus not so much
i thought this was a Pokémon channel when i saw the pokeball
Rog ally less issue, if all game legal non piracy games, dont use sd slot, upgrade ssd 2230 or mod 2280. Dont install piracy software.
The one reason I haven't an Ally or Legion Go is even my 7 year old laptop outperforms them. If I going to play on something I need to have plugged in there is no reason not to game on my laptop. I still think Nintendo is the king of handhelds and looking forward to what Switch 2 has to offer. OLED Deck is closer to a good handheld like the Switch.
P.S there are rumors Microsoft will come out with an handheld.
Can you play your laptop on your bed?
I have a gamimg laptop. I would lug it around, the massive power supply, a mouse and a controller to game on the road for work. The ally saves me a ton of space. I have the non extreme and its worth $400.
@@Anomaly66666 Of course. I have play my laptop in bed many times. My wife doesn't play games but she also use her laptop in bed. I have a table to set the laptop on as well a 65" TV to dock my laptop. I'm a pc gamer. Why else would I have a laptop if it wasn't portable? I've even dock the Switch to my TV while in bed. I also buy extra power adapters to place in different locations.
A controller is lighter than any of these PC handhelds.
PC gaming is my hobby.
P.S I've seen the non extreme Ally at Sam's club for $375. I see nothing wrong with it but like the LCD deck battery life is too short for me as a handheld.
You realize you need to plug in a laptop to actually play a game with good graphics and frame rate you have no idea how good the rog ally is if you think the switch is king of handheld when it can't even pass the 30fps 720p the rog easily outperforms even a $1k laptop I can play games at 1080p 144gz and average a modern game at 60-120 FPS based on the resolution.
@@itzsired - You can see the performance of all these handhelds all over You-tube. You sound like you in some kind of Ally cult.
-Yes no one can compete with Nintendo when it comes to handhelds. Nintendo is still selling more Switches than all PC Handhelds put together.
- The Ally also have to be plugged in after about an hour just like my laptop.
- The only reason the Steam Deck and Ally are any kind of success is because there are no games that have to be made for the hardware. They run PC games that run better on laptops and desktops. Nintendo sells so many handhelds developers can't afford to ignore them and not develop games for the Switch.
Ally can't outperform any new laptop with any current GPU.
Its great. But I forgot how God awful windows is. It's just as well gates has a effective monopoly. I am currently having to re install windows because of bugs. I am going to use this device now for gaming and gaming alone. No more surfing.
Duh....
SD sucks you ain't even got a Z1 chip running of shitty valve system
asus rog ally is a rip off
Yeah you love all the handhelds. That's the problem of your channel. But hey... you've gotta do what you gotta to do to recieve all those free handhelds
Never been given a handheld, I buy them full price out of my own pocket. I've received a few docks, some ar glasses and a few other small accessories, but never the consoles themselves.
Windows is exactly why i bought the ally
