It will have a way better and stable method using the X's battery soon, it's just 2mm thicker than the OG battery, so we'll need a custom backplate and that's it

[@Afeeq1011]

ngl that's a possible plug and play upgrade once OEMs battery start rolling out.

[@bobtista88]

It would be nice if asus sold the ally x battery and back plate separately so we could slap that on the original ally

[@ZSchrink]

3:14 I THINK ITS COOL, KYLER! I promise.
My dad is still confused, but says hey back 😅

[@shawner7340]

For a black hole Kyler is getting pretty good at hosting

[@nuttinspecial88]

categorically vibe-able

[@spartaanzz1121]

what is with those nails tho @4:34

[@AceofTunes]

Nail polish likes to chip... it's annoying

[@mii3910]

Sometimos it chips. We don't know why tho. If you want some advice, I recomend acrylic! Really durable! :D

[@mr.guillotine3766]

My dad said hi and "who the fuck is Kyler?"

[@1972lesteryan]

Just get a 65 watt power bank.

[@ReichReview]

WTF are you doing with your nails.

[@Lilblock545]

You messed up there has been a 90w battery mod for the rog ally its a lot better then that you can 3D print a back plate or cut a hole to make room the 90w mod looks a lot better and after you get and it installed it is also a lot lighter

[@AliYassinToma]

The back cover looks so rough with that 3d printing u did

[@javiermartinez8809]

Love the content but couldn’t focus cause of the nails was trying to see what colors were they lol 😂, no hate you do you.

[@davekelloway3337]

Kyler is a walking, talking, Rick and Morty Inter Dimensional Cable show.

[@kaidiemulan6061]

2 videos in 1 day, crazy

[@Hervoo]

I cant believe the joke really turned into something we watching videos of today. It was literally a joke for April Fool's, ally = a-lie

[@nivi3418]

In South Africa the Steam Deck Oled 512Gb and ROG Ally X is $1000, Steam deck Oled 1Tb is $1200...So I guess pricing for either here is not a consideration.

[@hussain-x]

Worst thing about modern tech is sealed in batteries. I hate sealed in batteries.

[@TNDandTMD]

Literally if the battery was external like the old laptops, the whole battery issue wouldn't even exist in the first place! Two batteries for the Ally would have been fine.

[@superstarr_26]

Asus should be ashamed of selling a product with less battery power than a mp3 player, their lack of common sense and respect to the customers is surreal!
Also, nice nails, and thx for the video 🖤

[@TNDandTMD]

The ally x was a slap in the face to everyone who owns an ally already. This is ridiculous I last just over an hour with mine

[@maddd_maxxx]

what do they say about deformed plastic

[@poonetidestroyer8955]

I dk what do they say about it? Something has to heat up and melt that?

[@brothatwasepic]

Bro where is my favorite chaos energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brothatwasepic]

P.s. awesome video Kyl

[@LitlNickyScarfo]

Kyler thanks for the info and the chaos. The random tangents were great and kept me engaged

[@dancipriann1]

power bank 65w 3000capacitty? Easy and comfortable ,w8 this money can take 2 ,and you can playing all day😁, me heave oly one ,and 15w i play 3:30 :D.

[@viathenomad]

I definitely look forward to the 80Wh Ally X's battery performance if this 88Wh mod is anything to go by!

[@joshharrison6020]

You fixed that they are a publicly traded company and legaly have to do what ever they can to earn the share holders more money dispite that doing so could and eventually will harm consumers?

[@Adiki3]

My solution was Xiaomi Powerbank Pro connected by a silicon cable. Easy to replace, you can carry spares :)

[@ThePoushal]

So how exactly did you play hogwarts legacy at 15 watts? Or your test is just open the game and leave it be?

[@chanceharvey3172]

Just use a battery pack

[@Lameless]

Ok

[@clem9808]

They did lenivo dirty! 😂

[@mickeymouze5]

the problem is that it's not good when it comes to docking mode.

[@dashiemcnasty4032]

It’s so lame no one sells the backplate on Etsy or something

[@mre8ballgaming842]

The biggest problem is the SD card issue

[@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753]

Now ally butt battery mod vs ally x

[@Wyse-Gaming]

This exact thing was already done by CPPC-TEK a few months ago. It's not worth it compromising form factor when you can just carry a powerbank. Good try though. Try upgrading the ram nextime :)

[@frankwong9486]

Ally : design flaw include microsd card , troll nvme placement ( it can fit 2280 by cut some of the case or move up a few mm , or simply turn 90 degree ) and it also wasted empty space for battery
Ally X : a bug fixed version of ally😂

[@kenktheGD]

Considering there's phone batteries that would be more convenient this seems... wrist destroying.

[@zerocal76]

So you gave the Ally a BBL... 😅

[@mihaistovi3115]

The biggest problem is burned microSD not the batery. The battery is the second one 😅

[@twennehfuss4529]

OH MY GOD, GET TO THE POINT. NEEEEXT

[@X862go]

Whenever I did this, it wouldn't sleep or wake correctly. Did you have the same issue?

[@CrafterAurora]

Kyler is epic

[@danielhulan3058]

Dude Kyler, your videos are really good. The personality in them is really funny. Keep'em comin

[@Siktah]

This host is a psychopath.

[@code-teamX]

A sus

[@nguyenhuu6559]

I cure all cancers.

[@bubba966]

Killed it Kyler. Keep it up so I can be rather entertained on the next vid

[@Chemy.]

I wonder if a powerbank might do something similar, genuinely asking I haven't tried any of those handheld PC so I don't know if there is a good value and powerful powerbank to handle it

[@battlepowered]

It does. That’s what most people actually do instead.

[@DycartCols]

Yes it does. I use 65W powerbanks even in turbo mode when away from outlets.
IMHO, this is the better option; you don't need to modify your ally, and as a bonus, you have the option to charge the powerbank and the ally separately.

[@RobCMDRSavatage]

Kyler, you are cool, this is a great video.

[@4777512]

im callling Bull, he's gotta see this.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

1:10 obligatory HAWK TUAH

[@itsdeonlol]

This is cool Kyler!

[@coolduder1001]

and the bad customer service

[@NicholasJeffery]

I'm here for the chaos that is Kyler

[@GabrielEstevez]

I love this guys energy!!!

[@MrBaskins2010]

we gotta replace that ankermake with a bambulab printer

[@UFDTech]

Would love to. Can't justify the price just yet.

[@MrBaskins2010]

W use of a 3D printer

[@fatanddepressed7400]

Ah cool, more RAM

[@ThatHz-]
