• keep in mind steam deck oled has insane pwm flicker and for some people me included it will give u eye strain and headaches i did not know i had this issue till ii got the oled

• I always love when any content creator randomly uses Splinter Cell music for no reason.

• I like dongles 😢

• Question came to me can a PC hand held run blue stacks and how well

• So overheating is what we're going with on the OG Ally?

• Id love a steamdeck but i gotta go with the ally just for the games and performance.

• Says resident evil 2 but shows 4 lol.

• I wish the second usb port was on the bottom cause charging while gaming was annoying when the cable would rest on your hand

• I kinda don’t care how good the ally gets, price to performance, it’s not a steam deck

• Can u compare it to the ayaneo 2😂

• Compared to many other reviews this was really underwhelming.

• Thank you for showing the port and size comparison now the DNA Duo could be compatible even more! I think all of these Windows handheld NEED dual usb c. That's why I love my AyaNeo Next Lite it has 3 2 on top 1 on bottom.

• Could be worse, the Ally X is 1 to 1, dollars to pounds here in the uk. $800 in the US, £800 in the uk! Thats $1024.82 for an ally X in the UK 😭

• Until now, I've never heard any reviewer saying the truth about the X.
  Asus is milking us. They dropped the ball with the non-extreme Z1 (who wants underpowered underdog?) and fucked things up with the normal one (low ram, low battery, no hall effect controls, shitty SD card reader) so, they run to make up for it creating the X.
  As a buyer of the Z1 extreme model, I feel betrayed by ASUS, launching this "refresh", especially for not having done anything to address the sd reader issue.
  At the bare minimum they should have offerrd a discount coupon to Ally owners.
  Not gonna buy anything from them any longer.

• Bro no bs, i didnt know there was a oled 4k 240hz. Dang you. Now i have to buy this

• I love that it can play Gamepass games but I'm holding out a bit to see if Microsoft is going to reveal their handheld and maybe the Switch 2

• All of the handheld devices need improvements, they are good but every single one has its own issues.

• Moistcritical???

• I tried the Rog x for a couple days. Runs games great but that screen looks like garbage vs any oled. That mixed with ASUS reputation for warranty I returned it and will wait for something with a better screen.

• in europe, there are ally extreme on second hand market for 300 euro, maybe lower with some patience

• I got an ally x yesterday and I think there’s something wrong with it, when I go into the amd software app, it tells me my ram is only 937mhz. Is this normal

• Oh yeh rog ally x is here…but wait theres more nintendo switch 2 is coming soon…..whos gonna be?.🤔🤔

• Hi I wanted to ask you cuz I just got my ally x and it’s my third 3 I noticed three things on my rog ally x my dpad makes squeaky noises when I press down on it and also my trigger on the left side makes a squeaky noise and while playing it the 3 day playing a old title my rog ally started shaking and fans where making a loud noise so I deleted the game thinking it was that game that made it so this and I went back to call of duty and every time I press the trigger to shot the fans would make loud noises and the whole console would shake really noticeable and make loud fan noises as I pressed the trigger to shoot

• Still remains to be seen whether Asus intends to give a shit about customer service. So, pass.

• I'm glad all these new gaming handouts are coming out and creating competention amongst each other. I will always choose the Steam Deck with no Windows in sight.

• I’m glad he brought the screaming back to his ads. It’s needed to keep me watching them.

• My patience is paying off. I knew this would be the next step in better handheld striking the perfect balance in all areas. YESSS show your stuff Asus

• I've backtracked on this video so many times trying to listen for the part where he talks about battery life and anyone tell me what the battery life is in this thing

• The only thing I could complain about the Ally X, that the Legion Go improved is that above all else… why do all these handhelds refuse to put a nice kickstand or a kickstand at all (like the Switch)?

  Also a X-Input on the face controller off switch should be implemented to turn off the controller's X-input device and not take over the Player 1 if you decide to plug this to a station and play on a bunch of Bluetooth controllers… I don't think based on what I remember on the original Ally you could disable them, but it wouldn't turn them off as a X-input device… the Legion Go had this as a byproduct of FPS mode switch, it turned of the X-Input driver and turned the face controllers to Mouse & Keyboard… quickly solving the hurdle by chance.

  Hope the Legion Go X or 2 or Pro… learns from all of this, and provide the good changes the Ally X did from the former Ally. Such as 2280 drives, bigger batteries & more RAM for more bandwidth for mostly more stable frametimings and less stutter. If they could also change the screen to landscape 16:9 that would be swell… while still keeping it around an 8" screen even if ends up a bit wider, but to solve the finicky issue of native portrait displays… and if they decide to a little more, change the Z1 Extreme for a 7840U/8840U so we can get standard driver support and not wait months for this OEM slow driver updates… let us get normal & consistently released AMD regular drivers, so I don't have to sideload.

  On a Legiong Go X/Pro/Super/2 Keep the awesome kickstand, keep the FPS switch, keep the detachable controls, keep the mouse touchpad those thing made my Legion Go preferred system & stand out over the original Ally besides the slightly better battery and slightly bigger screen despite the portrait display headaches I had to deal with and mitigate through software… but do make all these improvements that the Ally X made over the X, the tangible big improvements. More RAM, More Battery & 2280 SSDs.

• Isn't that RE 4?

• Steam Deck gang. But I may have to get an Ally for windows-only games. ROG releases consoles too often though. I can also download the windows drives for the deck, but disk space….oh you beautiful creature.

• hope asus fails, i wish to see them fail

• I dont know why non of these reviewers arent pushing the Vram to 8 gig
  I mean this thing comes with a 24 gig ram.
  Y'all testing it at a 4 gig vram then you wonder why it got the same performance as the old ally and legion go smh

• PC handhelds really need to ditch windows. I hope steam OS gets a public release eventually. The software experience of my steam deck is better than my baller gaming PC.

• Why does this casually retail for 150$ more in Aus lol

• I hear you on the "but I probably have more play time on my legion go for…whatever reason"

  Owning a legion go is weird. It is honestly my favorite gaming device that I own, but there's almost no living person I would recommend it to over a steam deck oled or ally x.

• Pull up your pants boy

• ROG Ally X seems like a great machine. I don't have one in hand, but everything points to a lessons learned handheld. Now, if they can improve the warranty problems and provide better customer support, they did a great job updating the bios on the ROG Ally Z1E and I would like to see that continue.

• All these 120 to 400 fps game gurus and addiction is crazy to me why would u play something that goes that high and be ooo ok it's playable now I don't even see a difference between 60 and 45 fps I'm good with either 1 of both with high graphics even ultra graphics

• Jesus Christ when he said the monitor specs I just had to look it up…. I was not prepared for the $1400 price tag….

• Some other things, faster charging, better speakers, better 360• actuating rear buttons.

• Something that would be cool is checking out the OS that turns the ROG Ally X into a steam deck and than compare the two to see witch is the ultimate Steam deck

• What GPU and CPU could you compare with Asus Rog Ally X ? I have i7 9700K & RTX 2080 Super. Is Ally X better ?

• What egpu enclosure is bring used here?

• No thanks

• 200 second ad is crazy… I hope you got a massive bag along with that screen.

• Why do youtubers act as if you cant put Windows on Steamdeck? It is a once in a lifetime piece of tech! Give it props!

• The battery is the biggest QoL upgrade.

  As a SD OLED owner running Windows and SteamOS I can't justify the price but it's great to see real competition, especially seeing how well Bazzite runs on the X.

  This might just be the model to get if the price comes down over the next year.

  The only issue then is these current models will get successors…

  I'm still not interesting in seeing what the Steam Deck 2 will be.

• With my ally I’ve had major issues with call of duty. It’s been frustrating and making me want to get a laptop. I just don’t know what to get.
