I've been running one of these as server since release. Works great but it's NOT quiet enough to have next to you during full load if you're used to quiet stuff.

hi do you think a rtx4060 would work in this NUC?

those nvmes u see at walmart are mostly bought by ps5 buyers/owners

Would you recommend this mini PC for running MATLAB and CAD? I’m looking for something for college for electrical engineering.

Great video thank you so much!

Meant to edit my comment and accidentally deleted it...whatever. Thanks for the video. It's too bad about the CPU being a lil' underpowered, though I do wonder if that can be alleviated somewhat because those compute element modules can be swapped? I do know there is an i9 variant of this...or maybe newer compute modules based on newer generations? But then it becomes how much money do you want to blow trying to get this system how you want it... Oh and yeah the RTX 4060 option, I'm sure there is one out there that would work. Perhaps a solo fan design like you mentioned. I assume that's what solo means anyway...

you said that the dual mini is probably the best graphics card available for this pc (The one that you have in your NUC), i was just wondering where you found yours and if it was available. Overall though, I really enjoyed this video because i have been having problems finding a GPU for my NUC. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video

i was waiting for the "initial post".

lol....yes you did make a mistake......you should have grabbed the lenovo....:)

Thanks for the information when I get to video editing I'll get with you

I got this for 519, with tax, 560. It comes with rtx 2070 max q, i7 9750h, 1 tb and 32gb ram. Did i get ripped off or was this a deal?

what a great video, I was just looking into updated details on this, specially when it comes to GPUs.

Thank you.

Hello 😊

great video

I BOUGHT Mine used for $450 , Z1 EXTREME with 2TB . so even with the compromises, its well worth it

Nice

'Promo SM' ✔️

Good deal I payed over 2k years ago on Amazon but it's a great unit👌🏻👌🏻 not a extreme Pc gamer but I love it

Keep in mind things changes as time go ahead. As of today the rog ally is a great choice back in your time having something like this was star trek level ahead of time. Fast forward not look at it. With little compromises you can play desktop/laotop level games in the oalm of your hands. We dont have nuclear fusion in a handheld yet so of course it will be battery issues. Give it a few years that problem will be solved.

Hillarious: I have had my Rog Ally for Three Weeks, I game more now than ever before. So your experience, is going to depend on your expereince. I have not gamed since I was a kid. I took notice of Nintindo Switch, and began gaming again. Then I got an Xbox, and hardly ever used it. Then I got the Rog Ally and I use it all the time. I am more prone to play if it is in my hands. And because I am obsessed with Batteries, portable monitors, I have everything I need. And because it is windows I can hook a drawing tablet into it, and draw (with my external monitor). Loving my Rog Ally! I do not want a laptop, I want a handheld. And eventually, an even better one will come out, but for now, this is awesome! However I still listen to you old school gamers, because I learn from ya'll. Thank you for yoru point of view, liking this video!

I got XG Mobile 3080, when im at home, with xg mobile ally will become gaming beast when docked, and also use external monitor

It's PERFECT if you are NEVER home and always on the go. I am still deciding between this and steam deck smh

Dude buys a gaming handheld PC, tries to use it like a laptop, then complains that it doesn't work like a laptop. I really liked your Used GPU video though. Just keep pumping out the videos you'll find your niche. Godspeed.

The laptop that you talk about at 20 minute mark does exist, Its the ROG Flow x13 gv302 (2023 model), really improved trackpad (much bigger), 120hz Full HD screen, thin 13 inch package and well cooled (same cooling as for the models with a DGPU). It runs the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS with the same igpu that the Ally Z1 Extreme has (the Radeon 780m) and it was on sale at BestBuy for 750-800 dollars. Only issue is the 16gb of non upgradable RAM, but the RAM does run at 6400mhz which helps get more performance out of that igpu. And then you can come back home and use the XG Mobile dock. I got the laptop, now I am looking for the dock at an attainable price so if someone knows where to get one without breaking the bank (help a student out) let me know :)

Here's my problem with these handhelds, if I'm on the go or in bed, do I absolutely have to play my games? I just don't see that as a necessity, why can't I catch up on some shows or just browse the web? I could play games but the problem is a device like this can ONLY play games, I mean you could watch your shows on this but it's far less good at that compared to say an iPad. Basically if you go the iPad route, you cannot play Cyberpunk 2077 but you can do anything else really well for many hours, in a very easy to carry package. Where as if you go handheld, you can play Cyberpunk 2077 for ~1hr and then you're done, you can't do much else with it, and it's a rather thick device to carry. So really at the end of the day you would ideally want some kind of general purpose device, like a laptop. I mean this compared to a laptop the only thing it's got going for it is you don't gotta use an external controller. But what if I don't even play that many controller games? I mean there are very few games that are significantly better on controller. But there are many games that are significantly better with keyboard/trackpad.

I only need to see/read this title "ASUS ROG Ally - Way Too Many Compromises - Why a laptop is SO MUCH BETTER" to know something is very wrong with this video, hence won't see it, the moment you compare a gaming handheld to a freaking full fledge laptop you are better of seeing something else.

However a desktop or laptop would be better all around of course but especially for multiplayer games where those extra frames are needed

if you want only single player games and portable 360 and ps3 games its worth it.Steam deck for alot of 30 to 40 fps pc games which is fine and playable usually and older emulation since you can game at lower wattage then yeah.I dont have the oled version tho.I can say that most games i turn settings to med or higher and fsr then cap at 40 to 45 fps and with vrr its lovely.

You are not the target audience if you start thinking to buy a laptop instead.

dumb video for dumb audience. its like comparing ship to a plane and saying why plane is so much better than ship as both serves the same purpose of taking ppl from point A to B.

Great video, I love seeing other opinions and use cases. I tend to agree, by the time I get the thing to perform at the level I need it to be at I would be better served by a laptop.

Wut, a gaming laptop is more expensive, I bought mine for £467 with 2tb of storage. And the gaming laptop uses way more electricity.

For me personally, the ROG Ally is a perfect companion for playing games casually every once in a while, the portability of it far outweighs anything a laptop can provide, that being said, I also have a main rig with a i9 10900k and a RTX 3080 and a Macbook Pro M1 Pro, this is solely just to play some games on-the-go and play while my partner is watching TV, nothing more, it fills in the gaps of what was never possible in the past with PC Gaming scenarios. The XG Mobile is only meant for those who make it their main gaming rig, besides that, there's zero market for the XG Mobile unit. As for battery life, I'd recommend a 65W PD Capable powerbank, there are plenty of cheaper options nowadays, and extends the stock 1hr battery life on AAA games to around 3 hours , plenty enough for playing on the couch till body discomfort becomes an issue.

It really needs a better battery. That's the only thing I found wrong with it. If I wanted to have a permanently docked handheld I'd just play on my laptop.

I bought the Asrock Rx 6800 XT, also a new cage Cooler Master mesh V2 and Asus ROG Thor 850 w PSU. Obviously I've saved a lot... Like 6 months, living in Argentina, suffering inflación, not eating at middays, to save money. Well, I'm happy. I don't trust best cheapper components. Using Gigabyte b550M H , 16 gb ram 3200, Ryzen 5 5600 g with stock cooler, I'm having 56 C at max CPU and 53 C on GPU. Playing all max quality. Really don't care fps or overclocking stuff. But was using an Rx 580 8g and the is a big difference. The GPU is big. It's silent, stable and cold. Thanks for the video!
