    I feel like I’m just not onboard with this hype for the ally x, I mean it fixes everything that I think needed fixing right so I’m glad about that but their whole attitude towards the device is still not where I want it to be.
    During the Q&A sessions they made it very clear that the Ally X is still designed and built in such a way it’s cost effective rather than being the best the Ally could be and when questioned on these decisions the answer was always the same… “to make it cheaper for the customer”
    This thing is suppose to be the premium option of the lineup and I don’t want to hear that they didn’t spend a little extra on bulk buying Hall effect sticks for example rather than sticks we know are destined to fail at some point just to “save me money”. the product is already expensive and marketed as the ultimate Ally. They just send the wrong message every time, money money money, profit profit, that’s all that matters. What they have done - is overshadowed by what they did to save money and increase profit.

    • @terpfen
      @terpfen Před měsícem +2

      You're on the right track. The Ally X exists to ameliorate the RMA rate of the Ally. Everything else is marketing. If anyone is interested in a handheld, the best advice is still a Steam Deck or a Switch. There's no need to buy a Z1 Extreme handheld when AMD is about to get Strix Halo out there. Back to school laptops first, then secondary products like handhelds. We'll have a ROG Ally 2 by CES.

    • @matpit5136
      @matpit5136 Před měsícem +9

      Ummm, the same thing can be said about Steam Deck. Aside bigger battery and OLED, what else Steam Deck OLED bring into the table? The power is the same, almost the same design, slightly different in couple things not worth mentioning.
      Ally X is an optimized version of Ally not an Ally 2, like Switch v2, or Playstation 5 Slim, or.... Steam Deck OLED. Ally X is not the next generation of ROG Ally.
      Say, if Asus decided to put all the top end hardware into Ally X, are you going to pay for over $1000 handheld PC? Even if you're willing to do so, will the others do the same?

    • @jinx20001
      @jinx20001 Před měsícem +2

      The same can be said, absolutely... but i think its fair to say there really was not much more valve could have done with it, putting in a Z1 chip would have been an upgrade in power but a downgrade in many other respects. That would take away the steam decks biggest draw which is efficiency and ability to operate at next to no power usage. You can play a game like cue club 2 on deck oled at 3w 90fps for 12 hours solid... playing indie games on next to no power is something the Ally simply cant do and i think thats an aspect Asus could have worked on, an option to disable cores and operate below 5w would turn an 80wh machine into an absolute endurance champ and i would buy it in a heartbeat just for that, but instead it operates at a minimum of 7w barely able to tick along when we know many games can run way way lower if the z1 was efficient and performant enough at that wattage.
      The main issue here however is not what they have or have not done, because for the most part i think Asus has actually done a really good job focusing on what the Ally REALLY needed to compete... no the issue (in my opinion ofcourse) is the massaging and attitude towards their own product. Asus themselves have said it, not me, they have said the Ally X is built with cost cutting in mind... They are ultimately shooting themselves in the foot with their messaging. Why not just say this is THE best the Ally can be, built with the best components at this price, no compromise so the customers experience is the best it can be with the machine... its common sense marketing. Instead they say its literally not the best they can do to keep costs low.
      Comparing it to valve is ludicrous, the messaging is completely different, Valve explained how they managed to basically change every single component to improve it, they did what they could at the time with the chipset to improve efficiency, they even had a more plausible answer for why they didn't include hall effect sticks... not just that they were saving money which goes a long way to convincing your target customers that its made with the best intentions of being the best it can be rather than built to a cost.
      Lastly and i know im ranting on, the price... Yes i absolutely think if it needs to cost more to be the very best that is EXACTLY what they should have done, we have an Ally z1, we have an Ally z1 extreme, the Ally X is marketed as the premium version of this hardware, why are they talking like they are aiming it squarely at the ally z1 customers with double the pricing? I would much rather it be a £1000 product that wipes the floor with every other handheld on the market today, this is suppose to be their ultimate handheld before the Ally 2 rolls around and i honestly think that would resonate with people more even if they cant afford it, the appreciation that they have created something that is astonishing would do wonders for the brand, its that 4090 moment right, not many can afford it but we all go wow.

      No one is making you feel anything. Control your thoughts and you control how you feel. If you have an Ally and you feel like you're missing out now because of the X, it's because of the narrative in your own head. If you want the X and you can afford it, okay just sell your Ally and roll with it. If you can't or don't want to, okay then just enjoy your Ally.

    In all fairness the fixes are simply down to the user complaints and mainly RMA issues they have had on the original and tried to avoid fixing by making out there were other non covered by the warranty repairs that it needed so they could charge for their own design faults, and the only real upgrade is the ram, though the RAM is a thig that was an oversight from the start on all the mainstream handhelds. 32GB should be the target in all honesty though.

Can I get something like 3+ hours of battery with 45fps Elden Ring? Also, playing emulation on deck oled has been amazing. I wonder if EmuDeck for Windows is going to give me good experience too.

      @jimmytimber7074 Před měsícem

      I have last year's ally and the performance is pretty solid on Elden ring for a handheld. I get a little over a hour in battery but that's running in medium settings. I would guess with the x you might get 3 hours. It all depends on how hard you push it. I can turn settings down and get 1 1/2 hours or more if I want. I like to run everything higher though I just have a Anker power bank I carry in my bag. I usually run Elden ring game settings at 900 p then I upscale and it looks pretty good. I also have a pretty decent rig at home so I get a little picky with fps. I have probably played close to 100 hours of Elden ring on my ally and I can't really complain.
      The ally is a solid device but I never owned a steam deck. I have always been a fan though and I think the user experience is probably better on the deck. I think overall the x would be a better option though. They fixed almost everything and I'm actually contemplating selling my original and getting one. I also never had a SD card issue with my ally. It's been a great machine, the screen is amazing and the speakers are great also. I prefer OLED screens but the LCD on the ally is really nice. Just my 2 cents. I'm not a steam deck hater though I think they look nice too just a little underpowered.

Vrr is more important since it eliminates tearing and stutters that make games smoother when a game goes down below 60fps VRR kicks in. OLED doesn't help anything in games.

    Asus fixed the warranty issue. That's not the problem for me, they played stupid games with the x370 BIOS updates including pretending a drm block for cross flashing was an update, and while the Zen 3 update was it's own thing, there were bugs they deliberately didn't fix and patched the 470. Their video cards are not high quality, they are gamer look only, and everything is massively overpriced since Zen 3, and I mean everything. Then they're the main manufacturer of open source gaming routers, and every single release is sub par with missing one key function that gets added to the next model, or has a defect. I can buy alternatives for everything else, but the routers are a monopoly, and every new version is double the price. Everything Asus does is anti consumer and annoying. The quality is not as bad as razer, but they're basically razer. Low quality, high defects, and over priced. I'll buy something else. They're operating on marketing, not quality. I'm not a marketing buyer. Never was. You can buy razer and Asus, and maybe Asus gets better, but I will not buy for marketing, and I despise people who do because they're dumb and annoying. 8gb Nvidia cards. You deserve it. Marketing does not justify a bad product. Ever. It's for suckers. The warranty issue is good for consumers, solely for getting people out of the fanboy bubble. It's cancer, more toxic than the actual problem, because fanboys are who enable it.
