    Great video. I have wanted one of these PC handheld consoles for a while now. I have a huge library of games across multiple storefronts/launchers. I was so excited for the Ally when it was announced. I love the design and how it can play games from any launch. As time went on I realized it has a lot of issues. The SD card (which is inexcusable in my opinion), buggy software, and other issues. I can't justify spending hundreds on a device with so many issues.Shame, because as I said before, I really like the device

    • @digitalmaus

      Really depends on what you are willing to put up with. if you want something simple to use to play games on then I would not recommend it or the Legion Go. I have the Legion go right now and have issues with a game not starting and a couple of other things. I find the SteamDeck and Nintendo Switch far easier to use.

    Asus wil always use windows their computers are all made for windows since asus started but i think your asus does have a problem i had non of these and i also had mine since start you could try looking for a corrupted driver or check your hardware but one thing thats funny i had a steam deck as wel got rid of it due to it running new games poorly but you say that steam deck has its own software wich is not true steamdeck uses linux with steam big screen forced open on it it uses a exe launcher in the back ground its wel hidden but you know linux stays linux but next time maybe check if there is anything faulty for your problems wich relates specific to your ally and if you dont know look first before putting a false review to try put them in a bad spotlight to get views

      Windows 11 isn't Windows 8. It simply isn't designed for touch controls anymore, and was never designed to be controlled with joysticks, so I stand my by statement that Windows isn't optimized for the Ally's hardware. I own an Ally btw.
