    *Play All Your Games.* That’s the promise ASUS made with the release of the ROG Ally handheld gaming PC in May 2023. But a year after its release, has the ROG Ally actually lived up to its hype?
    Join me as I dive deep into the build quality, comfort, display, software, speakers, gaming performance, battery life, and overall value of the ROG Ally after a year of usage. I’ll also compare it with its newer competitors like the Steam Deck OLED, Legion Go, and MSI Claw. With numerous software updates and hardware improvements, is the ROG Ally still the best handheld gaming PC on the market?

    I think the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme is still the best price-to-performance in the handheld PC market, especially if you can get an open-box/refurbished one for around $400-$500. The new Rog Ally X is simply too expensive for what is essentially just a refresh of the previous model. Most people don't need 24GB of RAM for gaming, it would be more for multi-tasking, which you can't really do in handheld mode that well anyways. The extra battery life is the only solid improvement, but it's simply not worth spending almost twice the cost of an open-box Z1 Extreme for a new X. I would rather wait for the 3rd gen model in the future, which I think will have a better iGPU than even the 780m, and offer more processing power. The X is simply not a big enough step up, although it is a nice refinement of what already exists.

    Also you can improve the legion go speakers MASSIVELY by downloading fx sound and enable volume boost. The stock tuning sucks . Once i did that the speakers almost sound as good as the ally but not quite because they are upward firing which still sucks

    PC Gaming is not great. Steam Deck is my 1st PC. Console gamer here. Asus has the infrastructure to be like Nintendo, Xbox or PlayStation. I think Asus and the multiple PC vendors should create a universal system. Docking stations come free when you buy their expensive handheld systems. When you connect to the docking station, TV or monitor is automatically turn on with the pc handheld going max input and fans sounding like a ps3. When I undock. It automatically changes the settings to the game for handheld gaming.
    Enough of my rant. My deck fell and is getting fixed. But debating on selling it and buying the ally x so I just have one system for all the games not on my Nintendo switchand my Nintendo switch.

      @@YOUNGJBR Z1 Extreme by default settings. That’s what PC gaming needs. Also man there’s so many launchers. It’s insane lol. That’s why I’m confused when PC gamers complained about PS logins. Most triple A games require it from other publishers.

      I agree that windows is not ideal for gaming especially on a handheld. But tbh the only entity that can truly remedy that issue is Microsoft themselves. We need an XboxOS that can organize all the games from Steam, Gamepass, epic, Ubisoft, and so on (similar to Steam OS) Would be me much easier to navigate. But not sure Microsoft wants to do that but docking is being resolved with the ally X because it’s including two usb4 ports so you won’t have to buy a dock at least, but would just need an hdmi to usbc adapter and power cable plugged in.

      I actually heard that if you have a system that hasn't had the SD card fried yet, adding a few layers of thermal paste to the top of it can prevent it from being destroyed.
