If you could only pick one of these for the rest of your life....which would it be? 🧐

I would pick Nintendo, I can't live without Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and other classics.
Probably one that runs windows or something else like Linux. The ROG handheld or the Logitech handheld would be good. If I didn't have to pay for it I would definitely get the steam deck.
Rog ally fr
Comparing the switch is an interesting situation but i think comparing it to the steam deck would have been a more interesting comparison.
yeah but obv the ROG is better as it literally does what the steam deck does but better
@@ayanrahman9371 there I have to disagree with you, ROG might have better components, but what Steam has, is it's own software that was designed specificly with battery economy in it's mind and the support from the Devs, I am really curious if Cyberpunk will run on ROG Ally as smooth as on Steam Deck.
Even tough the steam deck on paper is underpowered i would still pick it.
@@NFSAndrei exactly this
More logical to compare it to the Steam Deck.
What a way to drop the ball. 😑
more ayeneos. switch is made for regular consumer who wants simple
The day Rog does not make a good device for gaming . That's the day Rog headquarters will be on fire
Or it blew up
Remember, No Taiwanese 💀
Usually at a bad price…
You mean Asus?
Better hope it doesn't use armoury crate
Your videos always gives me this sort of happy feeling that I can't really express ❤
I bought an oled recently so thanks for this helpful comparison video this helps me so much
love your content, but i really think you should've compared it with something like a steam deck, since thats the market the rog ally is targeting. comparing it wth the switch is kinda like apples to oranges, because nintendo and asus have two different segments they're targeting, nintendo targeting casual gamers and rog targeting those who want to play pc level games on the go. just a thought. love your vids though!
Exactly, I like many Switch games, but Nintendo has been a toy company for over a hundred years. Their target has always been families with children, so they market to children. Asus is a computer component and hardware manufacturer who has never marketed to children.
It would’ve been better to compare this to other handheld PCs.
Yeah the whole time I was like what the hell is he talking about? =)) I'm waiting for ETA prime's comparison video. and retrogamescorpes to see understand how much power we have here.
also the fact that the switch is so underpowered most modern phones can emulate it with decent fps
Tbh tech youtubers talking about gaming stuff feels like Verizon or Google Stadia at E3 where you can tell they don’t quite “get it”
But you still can't ignore the vast amount of adults who use switch, like there is clearly a crossover between the demographic targetted by nintendo and Asus and it ain't children.
This thing actually looks sick! I think you should have compared it to a Steam Deck, as it is targeted to rival that. Otherwise, great video as always! 😃
I recommend watching the Ltt video that compares the rog and the switch. It goes much more in-depth
@@JustChillinxd just went to comment the same thing :P
Steam deck is a blatend rip off
@@Inksploded little guy must be smoking something before typing this lmao
@@Inksploded bro
You must be on smtn
Steam deck came first
I don't usually leave comments but, your audio production is absolutely amazing. Your channel is a pleasure to listen to. ❤️💟👍👍
i subscribed for the icing on the cake edit. Great to see you put so much effort into your work!
9:33 Valve has done a lot of work for this kind of stuff specifically for years now. If you are playing on handheld, on TV or streaming, Big Picture mode should be used which changes everything to be useable with controller and touchscreen with more ease. What's shown on the video is regular Steam desktop overlay for games and that also completely changes when opening games through Big Picture.
This and the big ignoring of the existence of the steam deck just proved that Arun didn't really make his full research before making this video. And also that he is probably not that big of a gamer himself, or at least not a PC gamer.
This is why I don't like his reviews when it comes to these tech stuff there are a lot of often important things he missed in the review
@@azenyr I feel like there's huge value for these devices to be used by regular people. Because if normie who only plays with Switch or phone picks this up, what is their experience with this device? So I feel like they would've almost done disservice with review by doing too much research as consumer would have to do same research, just the framing of the video "which is better" with scoring system makes these kind of factual inconsistancies pop up harsh.
So what I personally think happened is that they just opened and used this device, which means they most likely used Asus proprierary software to manage and launch game - which then means even Steam games get opened through desktop mode. This is why Steam Deck is so praised as it's all Big Picture essentially and to go to desktop you have to specifically go to desktop, so even new to PC gamers would not have these kind of issues. I don't know if there is or if Steam can implement it so that external launchers can launch games in Big Picture mode instead, so people using this device as sold, using Asus ROG build in software like Asus intents, this might be a problem normie tier users get with their device unless they realize to stop using the launcher and use Steam Big Picture instead.
Plus the fact that he had games library on a tie had me burst out laughing.
And on the same note on price including games, and accessories, most ppl already have a game library they can play out the box on ally and don't have to fetch out $50+ for a game like Nintendo and their accessories are no where near cheap. Ally would have more to come and third parties will start making plus existing things that already works with pc, works with Ally. ie Asus xg mobile gpu, external HD, keyboard/mouse.. heck u can turn it into a full on PC as your main and take it with you with just a usb c unplugged.
He literally tried too hard to make these 2 a tie to create controversy
@@graszI think he meant for game library what are the game options for that specific device. Not quantity, but what it is available. While the ROG has Steam and emulators, there are still other alternatives, while Nintendo is exclusive, you can't really play those games if you don't own one. Let's take in consideration that Arun owns lots of devices and lots of them are capable of running Steam, while the Switch is on its own.
I totally disagree with him about prices, the switch is too much pricey than ROG+Steam games
I think a steam deck will be a more apt comparison since that is what the Ally is directly competing against
This is a rather interesting comparison I figured you'd compare the deck to the ally like every one else but this I'm enjoying so far
I like that you keep your videos entertaining, informative, and of great quality in terms of scenes and visuals. A lot of youtubers started out this way and then changed when they became popular, like Linus and mkhd. They lost their way and why they got popular in the first place. And you can tell. Because your videos get a lot of views vs. theirs. Don't ever change your formula bro, and keep innovating
Nevertheless, ROG seems to be doing quite well with their releases, hope they go strong.
no
If you don't count motherboards
if you don't count their motherboard division
I can't believe he didn't play Genshin on the ROG switch. For those who don't know, Genshin had been to teasing a Nintendo version for a while now, and it still hasn't come. I don't use a switch so I don't care much lol.
Not with Motherboards lol
I don't think the rog and the switch are competitors in the same consumer category to justify this match-up. Nintendo isn't really targeting the hyper invested gamers like the ROG brand in its entirety does. If anything, the ROG is in direct competition with the steam deck.
But then somehow the steam deck was compared to the switch when it was released even tho they were trying to target a different audience 🤷
@@Emma_madison true, but this was when a Portable PC was First Released into the Mainstream Market. Before the Steamdeck, Nintendo was the Sole Competitor of the Portable Console Market. But the Steamdeck revolutionized Everything because it offered PC Games with the same Portability of the Switch. This why the Steamdeck was Compared to the Switch, basically put, "Hey, we have a product that has the same Portability of the Switch...BUT can play PC Games". Now with the Ally it basically Needs to be compared to the Steamdeck because the Steam deck set the Universal Standard of Portable PC Consoles.
@@typhoon_8086 he is doing it because most of his audience are Apple consooooming Nintendo virgins.
At first i thought you cant compare the switch to the ally, because one is a propietary handheld console and the other one a pc handheld allrounder but nonetheless this review was amazing and surprised me very much! I think that out there are enough reviews that compare the steam deck with the ally. Your review was all about the gaming experience on the go as a whole and that was it what made this video so interesting. Good job and keep up the good work! Im loving your channel and the great quality fun videos ❤
But you also forgot its double the price.
and the switch has better games@@BembelinCz
Its all a bag of golf clubs.. so many different metrics that mean different things for people using each in different use cases. Both platforms have pluses and minuses so videos like this are so helpful to see someone explore/compare many of these different use cases or why-do-i-care details. Thanks man I am now a subscriber.
I'm loving the new background and not the usual studio background which was staying to get boring. Well done sir for thinking outside the box
Regarding the Asus Rog Ally, I'm really excited about its potential. However, I think I'm going to hold off on purchasing it for now and wait for further revisions to the hardware and software. As an early adopter, I've learned that companies often make improvements based on user feedback. Take the example of the improved fan in later orders of the Steam Deck. So, I believe it's wise to give Asus some time to refine their product before jumping in. Can't wait to see what they come up with in the future.
Yeah, that stuck button looks particularly like it could be something that will rear it's head and require fixing in later revisions.
This is how I approach nearly every new tech product.
This is something I was always taught with cars. Never buy the first new model or refresh year. Always wait a year to see what bugs arise.
100%, the thing looks awesome especially if you limit it to 60hz and lower the graphics a bit to make the battery last. But I'll probably buy it near the end of the year instead.
Kind of like how the refine there motherboards.
your reviews are down-to-earth and objective. Beautiful
I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH SHEESH. Thank you!
You should compare the Ally to the Deck. The Switch is hard to compare to a PC handheld considering it's not one, whereas the Deck is on the same level. The only similarities to all of them is that they're gaming devices and they're portable, which is honestly not enough to matter when there are so many other factors that do. Solid video tho
14:45 arun broke their team by one pun😂😂😂😂
I’m glad for this comparison because i was really unsure of what to get between these two so that’s actually helped! Thank you
It doesnt have nintendo games. So why would I get this micro laptop?
@@kyohiromitsu4010but then again you can emulate all the Nintendo games you want such as: switch, Wii u, Wii, Nintendo 64, 3ds, ds, GameCube plus the fact it is a full portable pc that can play pc games really well hd use the internet for browsing and RUclips
Nintendo does have discounts, some times insane discounts, were a game costs 1-3 GBP before it goes back up after the sale is over. On the e-shop.
There is also the resale value, as the cartidge retains more of it's value in the long run than a cd for example. You can just sell it after you are done playing it, if that is something you want to. You can also lend it to friend. You cannot do that with a download.
Anyway, Great video as always. And as a casual player, a used Switch Lite for 100 was a easy choice for me. But you made it even more easy with poiting out the portability.
Thank you.
The editing is both hilarious and immaculate, love it!
I feel like you should've brought in the ally's direct competitor the steam deck. Since, thats what they mention in most of their marketing.
But that's what almost everyone is doing already.
I’m so excited! I just got mine today
as a sweaty MK8DX player I can say that in the thumbnail on the nintendo switch oled THAT EXACT TRACK is yoshis circuit
And bro has smart stearing an using the AVERAGE combo. you were in wave 4 or 5 and the best combo at that time was (and still is) yoshi teddy buggy roler and cloud glider.
i think the accessories section was a moot point, not only is this device NOT OUT YET but it's also one in a hundred even among the hand held windows devices
alongside that even with the switch's large cheap catalogue of accessories, anything running windows with bluetooth and/or a usb port will have 10x the accessory options
personally when i get my ROG Ally I'm thinking of buying a pair of NReal Air glasses for an OLED almost-VR experience which is something the switch could NEVER hope to accomplish without the dinky battery pack NReal sells separately for like $80 to use them on consoles
yeah, in the accessories section " the types of controllers" really had me scratching my head.
This is what I came to say, the switch has been out for so many years now, and since it's a Nintendo console, it has a million more users then a handheld "PC" device. Being so popular and being so old, of course it has so many accessories
And don't forget, an entire point went to the switch because he preferred the box it came in... I feel like this should have been a normal comparison without the points. Obviously, they wanted to make it a tie from the beginning... the video would have served better as a normal comparison video for anyone deciding between the two.
I'd never have called Nintendo accessories cheap but each to their own.
I really like the fact that you put my favourite song on the Handheld consoles to test their audio!
The whip cream on the rog had me screaming :" noooooo! " , out loud!😅 whyyyyyy!???
Actually one of the biggest differences is the sleep & resume feature the switch & also steam deck both have. That is the real game changer and one the ROG ally doesn’t have which needs immediately
That could come with a pretty simple software update, just in a month alone the Ally has improved substantially with updates, Nintendo simply releases hotfixes and nothing substantial has even changed, there isn't even any themes to pick or buy
But you can just turn the power button off and the fan also turns off which works fine then you can resume playing your game when you want when you press the power button again
Arun, you should make a video explaining the Nintendo joystick drift. The background on it and how to solve it to be more exact. Thanks for your hard work! ❤
If you're having problems with the Steam Overlay, try enabling Big Picture mode. It's a more controller-optimized interface for Steam. 9:37
Although the battery life is not that good and you may encounter some windows related issues. ROG ally is an amazing device! The fact that you can run most triple a games with high demands on medium settings and getting over 60 fps is astonishing!
Love how you snuck Ainsley in.. ❤
I loved the video, but there was a small glitch when you talked about the operating system, by using steam you can actually activate the big picture option which is an optimization of steam for controls which can make your life infinitely easier.
19:36 lmao the moment you said battery, my Bluetooth headphones said “battery low”
I was considering picking up a steam deck versus this mainly based on price, I already have a switch. This may require much more deliberation on my part 🙂
You should wait because the Rog Ally is having serious issues like overheating that is burning the sd cards, joystick deadzone, that’s the thing with this videos, they should tell you that the biggest difference between these two devices is control quality, experience making portables and long term reliability.
Amazing review and points of view!! TY!!
5:25 for free😳👀👀👀👀
I was thinking that lmao
is for me??
🥺
👉👈
The one of few tech channels that keeps me amused till the end especially with the well-written puns every episode😂❤
The switch was at 69% and weighed 420 grams. Coincidence? I think not!
Oh so to say it is for adults..., no matter how juvenile
There is another incredibly important detail that for some reason everyone forgets about when comparing not only these 2 devices, but also comparing any other device with a switch, this is the fact that this console is MORE THAN 6 YEARS OLD, and ROG ALLY is just came out this year
Nintendo gon be getting the next console some nice 16gb ram with 40 series mobile gpu type of power and ofcourse 64GB storage all for $350
Atleast i hope so
9:32 You could've used the Big-Picture Mode of Steam here. The Interface is then exactly like on a Steam Deck.
10:17 You can change what every button does, in Steam independent from any game.
It doesn't seem like Arun did any research at all besides a very specific script for this video. Many times it really felt like he had no idea what he was talking about
@@azenyr I might buy it though.
You shouldn't have to change the buttons though, they should just...work
@@thatsplatcat861 they do. But very very rarely (like 1/1,000,000) they don’t. But then you can change it like I said
@@thatsplatcat861 you also shouldn't have to play games at sub 720 while barely hitting 30fps.
5:45 Definitely a missed "that's what she said" opportunity...
Mrwhostheboss got me clickin' like a boss 😎💻
Thank You for this comparison. I'm a Switch OLED owner and I was seriously considering buying an Ally, but I've also have a strong gaming laptop so I've decided that buying something which is not completely a portable console and not completely yhe strongest gaming device will be a mistake. Switch is more convenient to use when it comes to portability and speed of launching everything on a bugs free system.
5:30 He is definitely trying to keep his rating on that Feet Rating website
7:35 bro just roasted 100,000,000 people 💀
I don’t now if you already did this, but I think it would be cool if you did this concept with the steam deck and rogue ally. Personally I like steam deck but would like to know what the expert thinks
Honestly comparison like this make me eager for the next generation of dedicated handheld gaming consoles... even if that just means waiting for Nintendo's next system. The convenience and bespoke optimization of a console, but the power of a Steam Deck or ROG Ally.
1:06 I think that for their price, the versatility of different testable earphones on this, because of the varying ways earphones grip to the ear justifies them having the right “material” or feel…
Love to see gaming focused content from Arun - Keep it up!
You know a channel is sold out when they praising so much shit about the lcd screen but in the end avoid mentioning that the ally is still having a lcd instead of oled.
@@fantasytky28 WAIT WHAT
The word 'DRIFT' came out of his mouth and the phonk, really good
I’m going on my first cruise to Europe early next month and plan to take my rog ally with me to use with my xr glasses the glasses let you play your games and watch videos on a massive virtual screen in front of your face - it’s gonna be an amazing experience playing crash bandicoot 4 and other games into the night sky on a massive screen! 😁
You know its a good day when he uploads twice. And really appreciate that u try to remove any bias. I would have concluded that since the ROG looks cooler, its gotta be better.
It is a bit disappointing the Steam Deck was not in the comparison though.
I will definitely consider the ROG Ally as it seems great for the price that it offers especially for a hand held
Honestly, price-wise the Steam Deck seems like a better deal.
But it does look good.
😂 preinstalled malware it's in motherboard so u need to change whole motherboard it's high level malware you are not able to detect with any antivirus
Nah, as for the portability goes, battery life is still the main factor. What's the point of having portable gaming PC if it only lasts less than 2hrs for gaming. Might as well buy gaming laptops.
Go for the Steam Deck then, it's cheaper, has more polished OS and is better than the Ally in general
@@CarthagoMike How lmao
Totally unrelated to the devices, but I loved that you used "dreamer" by Alan Walker in the beginning of your video for the background music
With the the ROG being bigger yh it would have more comfort but with a switch instead of changing the joycon colour with shell replacement and stuff
You can also just get what they will normally call a protective case or shell
So u can get ones that make the switch more bulking make it fluffy and all different textures some are expensive but you can also get them for cheap
The one i have was £16-19
But you can get for for like 4-8 pounds as well!
:)
Remember to take into consideration, that most of the people that are going to buy the ROG, probably already have an ACC on steam. Therefore, they do not have to purchase every game, since they can use the same ACC, on the ROG.
also most people are willing to have a portable charger with them on long trips anyway. Also for most things its literally a portable PC.
Dude its a pc you don't have to purchase any game at all... 🤔 jokes aside, it can and will also emulate every game on the switch perfectly fine so the switch is not at all competitive with the Ally. I would still pick the steam deck tho. Windows is not a good choice for a handheld like this. Too heavy, too bloated for that.
@@azenyr 🏴☠️
3:32 Arun was listening to the best song here😂
Remember when Nokia thought they could take on Nintendo's Gameboy lol
i love your videos keep up the great work
21:56 nice one arun nice one
I bet Nintendo’s next handheld will be a phone that doubles as a console and tablet - synced with a parental control app on Android/IOS 🤔
TAY! What a legend
And sounds quite possible
Very true
@@manden3283 Welp Nintendo has been coming up with the craziest ideas ever since the Game Boy or something
That wouldn't work.
Look at the current Switch's size and aspect ratio.
It's too big to be a smartphone. If they make the screen smaller for the next-gen system, most people would see it as a downgrade.
A daring video with an unbiased view I love it
8:38 : "Youre kinda stuck with what ya get here". Most British sentence I've heard all video 😂
This is a great comparison! As someone who has previously owned a switch yet now has a steam deck I've been reconsidering getting a switch again due to things like comfort, battery and getting games I can't play on pc due to how emulation isn't very optimal for the switch
Personally for me switch is the most comfortable device ever. You play for an hour and can't feel your hands anymore. Ally is a different story altogether.
I just love the gaming related videos. Keep up the good work mate
Same.
Hyped to “wrap my hands around this textured unit”
As one of the best if not the best Tech youtuber i know you will make a video about the Steam Deck vs the ROG Handheld, still w8ing
5:09 My Heart Fell With The ROG😰
Yo, are you talking about AICE3? That's sick! I actually copped one of those on Amazon for my mom, and it's been a lifesaver. She's been going through menopause and getting super irritable out of nowhere, but this thing has been helping her chill out and get back to her normal self. Cooling her down is definitely the right thing to do! Can't believe who figured out that, but it works! Big ups to you for putting us on to the latest tech, man!
Comment, hearted ??
huh
@shre6619 Yeahhh!!! I'm super hyped!!! 😆
@hiddenguy67 Hey, have you heard of a portable AC that can detect your mood and adjust the temperature and mode accordingly? Sounds like science fiction, right? But my mom tried it out and swears by it! She used to get all hot and bothered while cooking and doing housework, but now with AICE3, she stays cool and calm. It's like having your own personal emotional support system! Plus, it's perfect for those long gaming sessions when you need some heat therapy. Trust me, this thing is a game-changer!💥
@@NikiLawrance why do u sound like an advertisement lol
The only thing I care about in gaming hand held is battery then game quality. because primary use for handhelds for me is to take them around and having to worry about charge really kills the fun and stresses me out.
That is a smashing shirt you have there, Arun. Mind telling me where you got it from?
21:43 air conditioner for room, but where the heat will go? Back to my room? wut
In terms of performance, rog is off to a great start, but that battery life is simply a deal-braker for a handheld/portable console. Since you're basically forced to have your Ally plugged in 24/7 if you want to play for a longer time, at that point you're probably better of with a PS5/PC. The battery kind of defeats the entire point of this device
i am a digital nomad, so i dont't have a constant home. in this case i cannot buy a pc or ps5 and just carry it around with me. so the asus rog ally is really a great invention for me.
And the poor people dont have a house and live in the streets...and they prefer food than this handling console..whats the point of this??
I honestly dont mind having it plugged in all the time
@@akstyles well the console is made for gaming yes i would rather have food than have it but i think its a good thing for gamers and if you can't afford it then just don't buy it as it is pricey
I prefer the flow x13 - its more powerful and also very portable
0:51 we need the link for that video😂
Good video one massive issue is the non oled display on the Rog
lol a "massive issue"? Still, the Ally has a better screen overall, like stated on the video
2:05 a moment to appreciate that we were watching MrWTB on a screen on a screen for a while there.
I honestly think I'd go for the ROG if I had to make a choice. I'm really interested in emulation and all that. Plus I haven't really played a lot of games so it gives me a lot of options in games I can play. I mean imagine playing ps2/game cube games on the go.
I'd go for the switch and just use a gaming laptop for my pc games
Buy the steam deck for that, its cheaper
Been doing just that with the Steam Deck for over a year.

I'm stoked to be waiting for your next video, dude! By the way, I'm rockin' the AICE3 you talked about and it's freakin' awesome! Whenever my heart rate starts to climb, that thing really starts to work its magic!
whats good about the switch is its a good party system even on handheld, plus the control options it provides on games, I still would like a Rog Ally though
Love watching your video

I will be buying the ROG ALLY once it releases. Hand held windows device is the dream for me
No handheld wars. Pick the one that fits you. Don’t let nobody else convince you
The one you should buy. I love your videos mr who’s the boss one of my favorite RUclipsrs ever
Almost didn't realized that you put in one of Alan Walker's songs in there. I hope you can put that song more, 'cuz I like that song a lot. But, it's up to you :)
can always rely on aaron to give complete objective reviews...well done, again
Well I would go with the ROG mostly for the audio , screen and the skins but it is fairly big and the weight but other than that the ROG really seems cool.
Him every single review: "THIS IS THE GAME IVE ALWAYS WANTED/DREAMED OF AS A KID :D"
this is a very good review and this guy just makes sense
8:22 is a Forza Horizon 5 bug which is not necessarily a ROG Ally keypress issue.
It happens to me on PC with same game occasionally.
Correct, the game has always had issues lol
this Mrwhosetheboss dude has no idea about gaming 😂😂
@@astronaut5009because this isn't a gaming channel kiddo
unboxing is an asinine category, it feels as though you only included it for the sole purpose of not actually having one be the "winner"
9:05 This entire showed me more internal software on the switch than making a comparison, like the settings hub after holding the home button which changed my gaming experience completely 😂
