I just replaced my desktop with the Ally. While I had a top end pc I just don’t have the time to sit at a desk anymore with kids. The ally works good enough and the portability is amazing I can sit on my porch watch the kids and game in handheld. While I wish it had a little more punch but I’m happy and we’re trending in that direction!
I got sober a few years ago and the switch pretty much kept me sane early on. Made me fall in love with gaming again in my 30s. Just got an ally. Super paranoid cuz of so many problems reported but im loving it so far. Switch and series s has kept me humble as i keep everything as low as possible to keep my temps DOWN and when i discovered can play mw2 maxed out at 720 p on that screen at over 100 fps at 18 w and 60c. GAME CHANGING. Nothing is perfect but now i got a pc in my hands while the kids are doing their thing or im bored at work. Whether you got a deck..a go..or a whatever. What a time to be alive.
@@TechDweeb thank you! Loved your video. Gaming has made me find and respect (and laugh at some) so many content creators I'd never know about otherwise. Love all your stuff you make me laugh.
I have a 3080ti tower and I find myself playing more now on my ally than my gaming setup. Indie games and games like Spyro reignited trilogy is where the Ally truly shines. Also the way save games work on steam and xbox on PC makes switching between my Devices seamless. PC gaming with these handheld devices coming out is way better than the experience a console can provide.
Both the Ally and especially the Deck are great value for a gaming PC. Then we get things like eGpu devices. Desktop feature was 80/20 reason why I purchased this.
Only bottlenecks I can think of are storage over the years and possible issues with graphics and performance with newer titles coming out like Jedi and star field
For 1080p gaming, the new RDNA based iGPU handhelds seem to give full size desktops a run for their money. Future of gaming desktops is pretty much on deathwatch I think medium term to long term.
Oh? You think this tech will replace big beefy gaming PCs with dedicated GPUs? I can see it replacing budget PCs with low end GPUs (APUs basically have at this point, let's be real), but I have a hard time picturing gamers giving up 4k ultra settings so they can play at 1080p on a mini PC or whatever.
doubt that will happen. too much compromises. if someone just has interest in low-middle end gaming sure, but there are so many more ways to use a proper pc than a handheld like this.
I really wish more content creators would make videos like this, showing the portable devices in desktop or big screen mode. It's especially true for the smaller retro emulation handhelds that have HDMI-out. Most reviews simply gloss over that functionality or completely ignore it, which is really disappointing to me.
I was looking to get a laptop and an Xbox forever for the few exclusives and bought this as an impulse buy without looking much into it. And as someone who's never had PC this was amazing, I've been gaming primarily on playstation so my whole Library is on my ps5 but now I have access to steam and even game pass! And the few exclusives I was looking to get for Xbox I can play or stream it on the ally without having to fork over the cash for a laptop and an xbox. Ofc you aren't getting the best quality in some games if you're buying graphically demanding experiences but that's the sacrifice for portability but for my purposes it's great, I'm mainly buying some steam games that weren't available on console, mainly indies/ps3 era games and Xbox exclusives on game pass, the most demanding game I have is rdr2 and with some tweaks I got it too look good at 1080 running 37-47 fps in heavy areas and running 50-60 fps indoors and more smaller areas in general at 60°-65° on the 15w performance mode. anything that's too heavy for it I'll just play on PS5.

All these years of 4k/60 being rammed down our necks and now everyone is happy with 27fps medium/low settings at 1080p. Its a funny old hobby is gaming.
One thing to note is you’re not meeting the battery’s full performance potential because only the Rog docking charger will provide 60+ watts which will increase fps when using the external monitor
Huh. I thought I was in turbo because I tested it more than once, in the dock vs plugged in directly to the charger, and there was literally no difference. And you can see in the Afterburner overlay that the APU is using 30w. I should have checked in the Command center overlay :/
*bows* Sensi, you taught us that adding a monitor, keyboard, and a mouse, is not a terrible stain on the device, although it appears so. It is nice to see those principles in action. It is also nice to see something other than a $5,000 PC run games. Thank you. *bows*
I did skip com parts so I'm not sure if you mentioned wattage settings. I use my ally like this pairing with a 15" 1440 monitor and I play Diablo IV in medium settings on around 50-60 fps. CIV 6 at around 100fps setting wattage high on manual mode. Also, this Jsaux dock won't fully juice up the Ally at 65w. With that said, I believe you can squeeze more performance out of the Ally.
Wow my old 2015 gaming laptop with 8 gigs gtx 980m runs shadow of the tomb raider on 1080p medium 40-47 fps & this rog is reaching close to this performance is amazing

Hi, I wonder if you had this knowledge when testing the rog on a jsaux dock, I had a concern about jsaux dock and I ask them directly. Im not going to paraphrase, just going to copy and paste their response. "Our docking station is generally compatible with ROG Ally devices, but we cannot guarantee that using the docking station will enable the 30W turbo mode on the ROG Ally. Currently, the ROG Ally driver may prevent third-party docking stations from activating the 30W turbo mode. The ROG team is actively investigating this issue, and we need to wait for future updates from ROG Ally to address this." "Additionally, we have also found that certain chargers with power output exceeding 100W can enable the 30W turbo mode when used with the docking station. However, the final compatibility depends on the specific charger you are using" So, did you use a 100 watts or 100 w + charger when doing this test? Did you had 30 w turbo enable?
JSAUX 7in 1 with the factory rog 65w charger gets 30w in turbo, but I have not had it go above to the 50w. Was going to buy a 100w charger to max out the JSAUX hub and see if that helps? Also might try manually setting the limit to maximum, and to try to pull more power.
if you play it as a hand held, reduce the reolution to 720p, and use fsr, the thing runs amazing, u didnt mention, does that moniter have freesync or adaptive sync? because the native display on the unit does, so ( if you modify the freesync paramaters, i believe you can make freesync usable from 30 fps up ) , also were you gaming at the standard 15 watts? you never mentioned it in the video, but in docked, or in desktop mode, you should have all the tdp settings maxed, and im sure you would have seen much better performance . i get it tho, you demonstrated, as someone who just plugs it in and uses it. i dont think what you showed reflects the systems true performance tho, unless before hand you did max out the tdp's and just never said anything. it takes like 3 seconds to access the performance overlay, and max the tdp settings , its a pretty significant boost , on battery in hand held, u want a low tdp for battery life, but plugged in as a desktop, im pretty sure you were missing out on alot of extra performance capability. you can easily get 10 to 15 more fps on average, and if that display is freesync, without adjusting its ranges, as long as your 40 fps, freesync should be working, and it makes the game run like butter. you missed out on alot for a propper review, but i understand your context. in other words, if u just plug it in and use it, your missing out on alot of what it offers. i think you should make one more video, crank the tdp, use it with a freesync display , and then tell us how you feel.
This is 30w turbo mode, maxed TDP (you can see the GPU power on the overlay, and you can see that it's boosting to 35+ watts). This is the maximum performance. No the monitor wasn't freesync, and I know that the the freesync on the display of the ally is a selling point. Also this isn't a proper review, it's just a desktop gaming PC test (I did do a proper review here: ruclips.net/video/l6Xx18hIQSs/видео.html&pp=ygUSdGVjaGR3ZWViIHJvZyBhbGx5).
I actually ordered a dock that support an extra hard drive. My plan is to have games better suited for desctop gaming in the hardware dock like strategy games and play them from that one.
I find myself playing more indie games, so I was wondering if this would be a better upgrade than my old 8 gb laptop with a 10 year old video card. I may play games like FFXIV and Street fighter 6 from time to time as well and I'm not really interested in 4k. My current monitors from my home desktop are at 1080p.

Hey TechDweeb, the Rog Ally comes bundled with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes Forza Horizon 5, so you can play that on your Ally 😅
Man, have portable monitors come down in price. I have the 2021 version of this monitor from Iccocn and I paid DOUBLE that price for it. (I do love it, though). That being said, it's also amazing to have a portable computer for travelling! I took it with me and hooked it up in the hotel. BAM! A working PC that was a cinch to set up, and I could just plop it in my bag.
Im basic when it comes to games. I had a $300 monitor from walmart it was 144hz and i had a desktop gaming pc that had 1650 super nvida and a ryzen 5. The graphics was "ok" but all i played was overwatch and COD warzone or mw2. Those r the games i play. My question is i dont have a pc but i have $800 and still have all my components except my desktop. Should i buy this and use it as a daily desktop gaming pc? Until i save $1500 for a 3060ti ryzen 7 a year or 2 from now? Thank you!!!!
If you're gonna leave it docked a prebuilt with a GTX 1650 or a 1650 laptop could be found for about $100 cheaper. Or if you want to spend a bit more you could get an RTX 3050 laptop that would outperform the Ally.
Look on amazon or newegg for a prebuilt or bundle with a GTX 1650 (or better) and 16gb ram and 512gb hdd (or above). You should be able to find one for $100-$200 cheaper than the ally.
Just got mine yesterday and i can say it its p decent as a gaming pc laptop whatever i paid in all 890$ for the z1 extreme and a keyboard n mouse and hdmi and a multiport block thing all in all its p decent runs tarkov alright it aint the best buh its ok and it runs project zomboid great
How does it feel like a decent desktop gaming experience? Looks more like an okay console experience to me. Not being a snob about it, I'm just not seeing the point, unless this is the only thing you own.
for the fact i got my ally for $350 i feel like it’s the cheapest/ best option considering i COULD play any AAA game and if i built a pc for $350 it would be way worse
Buy a ViewSonic Portable Monitor,144hz 17.5" thank me later! Man... The ViewSonic is bigger, at 3ms response time. And more hz. My guy that one you are using Is 60hz which is THE WORST solution for any game especially shooters. You can't play shooters on that monitor without being at a disadvantage. Also, at freaking 299.00 ... No hell no!

what's the software you're using to see your PC proformace in the little window on ht top left of the screen?
MSI Afterburner. I made a vid about it!

What is the static contrast ratio? You stated the contrast ratio is 100,000:1, which sounds like the dynamic contrast ratio.
Im basic when it comes to games. I had a $300 monitor from walmart it was 144hz and i had a desktop gaming pc that had 1650 super nvida and a ryzen 5. The graphics was "ok" but all i played was overwatch and COD warzone or mw2. Those r the games i play. My question is i dont have a pc but i have $800 and still have all my components except my desktop. Should i buy this and use it as a daily desktop gaming pc? Until i save $1500 for a 3060ti ryzen 7 a year or 2 from now? Thank you!!!!
If your planning to dock it you mine as well buy a external GPU.
Then what is bang for the buck this days? Cause I've been planning on buying Ally and just putting it in dock mode most of the time
If you're gonna leave it docked a prebuilt with a GTX 1650 or a 1650 laptop could be found for about $100 cheaper. Or if you want to spend a bit more you could get an RTX 3050 laptop that would outperform the Ally.
Can you plug it in tv as the monitor? using your set up? Or are you gonna need the rog ally dock?
Yup you can. No you don't need the ROG dock, any USB-C to HDMI adapter will work.
You can charge the ROG while outputng USB-C to HDMI at the same time using that single USB-C port?
Plz upgrade hp8200 tower upgrade graphics card gtx 1660s and case in 320w psu
I got one to dock and play loaded emulation hard drives
Plug in an XG mobile and it's immediately high end
Have you ran this with the new driver???
For the same price what PC can I get that would be better ? Please tell me recommend
Look on amazon or newegg for a prebuilt or bundle with a GTX 1650 (or better) and 16gb ram and 512gb hdd (or above). You should be able to find one for $100-$200 cheaper than the ally.
@@TechDweebthanks would it be better performing ?
If it’s docked you need to turn it up to 40w on gpu power and get a lot more power
a lot of docks wont allow you to
Guten Tag. 👋
I wonder how the console plays Resident Evil. 😎👍
Struggles with re4 remake
Easy
Was this running on battery or was it on mains power?
Power
just letting ya know, on fortnite, you should use "performance mode" on all low settings and see the fps then, I'd appreciate it if ya did
Just got mine yesterday and i can say it its p decent as a gaming pc laptop whatever i paid in all 890$ for the z1 extreme and a keyboard n mouse and hdmi and a multiport block thing all in all its p decent runs tarkov alright it aint the best buh its ok and it runs project zomboid great
Take it this is not the Z1 Extreme? getting over 100FPS on most games mid to high settings
How much fps would a game like apex get at lowest settings?
can it play roblox max settings
How does it feel like a decent desktop gaming experience? Looks more like an okay console experience to me. Not being a snob about it, I'm just not seeing the point, unless this is the only thing you own.
let me guess that dock wont allow turbo
u forgot on what watts the ally was on while gaming
am I missing the link to the rog ally?
Doh!

Was this the z1 extreme or the regular ally?
100% the regular one
It's the PC version of Nintendo switch and I love it.
Can it charge while dock on desktop mode?
I will say this, the OLED screen surely beats the bathtub by a mile...
No... Not for fucking 300 dollars. That's a damn 240hz monitor on the high end price. That thing isn't a good monitor for gaming at all.
im already subscribed :)
Apex? How does it run?
So stewie now reviews tech
for the fact i got my ally for $350 i feel like it’s the cheapest/ best option considering i COULD play any AAA game and if i built a pc for $350 it would be way worse
Nice deal!
bro you sound like a young Hans Moleman 🤣
But 350 for the monitor is crazy
I'm typing this with the rog ally lol but get the original DOCK so you can get the full experience the rest of the docks won't get you a good fps.
Is this your real voice or a voice mod,
You made good content but I have to turn the volume down 😔😔😔
What's with the voice?
Ok but 699,- for gaming on low settings 😶
It is using the rog ally battery?
Nope, plugged in
its the 'GIGGLE HERTZ' Nerd guy again
Buy a ViewSonic Portable Monitor,144hz 17.5" thank me later!
Man... The ViewSonic is bigger, at 3ms response time. And more hz.
My guy that one you are using Is 60hz which is THE WORST solution for any game especially shooters. You can't play shooters on that monitor without being at a disadvantage.
Also, at freaking 299.00 ... No hell no!
Thats what i dont like about these games the mocap suit. Nobody wants to walk and move so slow.
