Boricua! 🇵🇷

THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR! RED DEAD 2 IS SOOO GOOD

thanks for the view bro

@ didn’t watch lol 120 different videos like this..can’t come to the party late with no beer.

nice! i’ve been watching some videos on the claw, thanks for the comment 🙏🏻happy holidays!

nice! it’s definitely changing the way we game for sure, glad to hear you’re enjoying the experience! thanks for the comment 🙏🏻

sick! on the macbook too, i’ve been wanting to try out a game on my iphone or mac

that my gma can use both with ease

@ayemaldo I think you mean the simple gui. In that case, have her try windows 8. Similar concept, just Microsoft failed at it. I don't base company similarities off things like gui. Because any OS can look and operate like any other OS. Skins, scripts and tweaks can transform the entire gui. Make it "easy to use" is essentially the layout and organization. Valve emulated consoles because consoles are easy and simple. It's really that simple.

Because people prefer convenience. Also it depends of the continent you're in. For example in Europe The market of physical games still dominates digital games.

haven’t been able to try one out yet!

excited to see what comes out in 2025

that Ally X price is steeeeeep ngl, but agreed!

The OLED model is not cheap mind you and the perfomance aint worth it tbh. Best to wait for Claw 8 AI+ or legion go 2 because 7 inch screen is too small, 8 is the sweet spot

@@jackykwan2580 so far they sound great, looking forward to seeing how they handle everything. 8 is perfect, one of the downsides of the Ally X for sure

It’s cheaper than the ally x by quite a bit . That being said the ally x is worth the extra cost .

Ally X has no: 1. Trackpads (dual) 2. Quad back grip buttons (the good gamers know to replace abxy with these so your thumbs never have to lift) 3. Oled 4. Capacitive thumbsticks with gyro 5. System-wide FSR 6. Factory-supplied carrying case 7. Community support for fixes(Asus online community is nothing like the SD community, let's be real here) 8. Native suspend and resume 9. SteamOS - This is the most crucial thing And my SD Oled plays everything flawlessly at full speed except for the poorly ported Sony games, and even then I can get 45 fps stable on them. Most people just don't know to calibrate the game properly to run right. They're just simple and lazy, so they say "raw power" of the Ally-x is the way to go. 🙄 While paying a hefty premium for that ignorance. And good luck with Asus warranty and support. Their track record isn't great. And brah, I have 8TB on my deck. 4TB 2280 nvme w/ reverse adapter and modded air-flow shield, 2TB 2230 in 2230 enclosure w/ u-shape usb-c adapter, and just got my 2TB micro-sd yesterday. The 4TB nvme is SteamOS, 2TB nvme is Windows for anti-cheat games & Re-Packs, and the new 2TB micro-sd is going to be the new home of my rom collection. I have 18k arcade roms for mame, every NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, XBOX, XBOX 360, and even some PS3 games along w/ damn near the whole switch collection plus every handheld ever released. With 185 games in my steam account and over 400 Re-Packs. I didn't choose the deck for it's price. I chose it for the ecosystem, ergonomics, build quality, suspend and resume, input variety, emulation friendliness and repairability/mod-ability. your ignorant assumption everyone gets it to save money shows your naivete. I own a 1.5 acre mountain-top house in Honolulu city limits. Money is not an issue. Companies that support their customers and make quality products for reasonable prices are an issue. $700 for a PS5 Pro? That they make money on games from? Valve is still the only one grounded in reality anymore. Everyone else has this "arm and a leg" and " you own nothing mentality". I've boughten 3 SD's. Money is not the issue.

honestly, not a bad way of looking at it. how was Wukong? i’ve been wanting to snag it on a deal

Aint worth it dont buy a device with 16gb of ram, windows 11 is ram hog. The system uses too much ram, it needs somehow at least 6gb to run and hog so at least 24gb ram is recommended but future proof is 32gb. Just wait for z2 devices

thank you! 🙏🏻 i wouldn’t be too worried about it! the Steam Deck OLED will still be a fantastic device, and will be able to play more than enough. If you have relatively decent wifi, you can also get the Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming app, and play anything on there straight to the Steam Deck (just not locally installed) I think the Steam Deck is awesome, especially being able to just pick up and play it like a gaming console. If you’re not sold, I know Steam has a refund policy, but who knows maybe you’ll really like the Deck! 😁

@@ayemaldo Im pretty sure ill be amazed by it. Last handheld I had was a psp 20 years ago. Im a bit obsessed with all this stuff. So Ill probably end up getting a windows handheld sometime in the future. But yeah im grateful for everything I have. So privileged that I can even consider buying these things. keep up the great content bro.

@ Honestly, I think of it the same way. There’s always something better on the horizon, but i’ll be fine with what I got. Appreciate it! thank you 🙏🏻

If you want to play new games you better cancel the order. The X is not future proof best wait for z2 extreme its coming in a few months time and that gives better proofing if you want to play newest games or you invest in an egpu

@@jackykwan2580 Thanks. yeah I was thinking wait for the next rog ally. Those new graphic chips come out next year

been hearing a lot about Bazzite lately 👀

@ literally makes the Ally no different than a steam deck and u still have the option to natively dual boot into windows quickly and easily. That plus the Ally x 80wh battery and better performance make it hard for me to pick and other handheld

@@fresco_dinero5155 that’s so damn nice, alright i’ll be checking this out. thank you!

@@fresco_dinero5155will i have to invest in a better SSD or will the default 1 TB be fine for it? Appreciate you

Shame Ally X doesnt have trackpads (for mmos or rts, some of the best genres for handhelds). Also 16:9 looks far worse than steamdecks 16:10.

nice! the limited edition white is so NICE! How you running Game Pass? via xCloud? i’m interested 👀 thanks for the comment! 🙏🏻

Major downgrade

@@ayemaldo yes, xcloud.

@@sheffrespawnz7235 it is but you would have to have both handhelds to know what I mean. Raw power just didn’t cut it for me.

People just had too much income to make bad decisions like this.

good shout, hoping to be able to check it out next year. if budget allows 😅

exactly, anyone who has spent some time with Windows should be pretty familiar with any hiccups they run into with the Ally X. i’m not familar with linux at all, so it takes me a minute to figure it out.

that’s so sick! congrats! right in time for the holidays too

definitely waiting and see could be a good option for some. I’m excited to see what the next chipsets can do for handhelds. I’m sure a lot of people will be getting a device for the holidays, so I agree with you when you mention that there’s always something better on the horizon, but just my impressions on the devices i have in front of me! thanks for the comment, i appreciate it! 🙏🏻

@ayemaldo of course! It's a great video and a possible reference for someone wanting to get a device for Christmas. It's just that the only thing I would get right now is a refurbished OLED steam deck. That way you'll have a great Christmas vacation and if something truly better launches you won't feel as bad and may be willing to upgrade once they get discounted for the first time

@@Sumire9287 100% esp if you want to be able to have that flexibility to run more demanding games in the future

Its not that much more expensive than an oled. It only costs like 100 or slightlu more than the oled model. If you can get the open box x its even better deal

i know what you mean, sometimes it’s pretty clunky on the Ally

@@ayemaldo have you been getting crashes on booting up call of duty sometimes ?

@ I’ve gotten a few, but mostly when I first launched the game. It hasn’t really crashed too much after that.

i know, it’s super sick

better leave them cookies out for Santa

perfect companion device, but if you’re in a pinch, it can also be a main platform. thanks for the comment! appreciate it! 🙏🏻

that makes so much sense lol ill be updating my games settings tonight 😂

​@@ayemaldoyou also need to set apps profile like steam, epic, browser, etc to desktop mode, so anytime you open them, it switches to the correct mode.

VRR is super important, especially when gaming on a handheld and frames could be jumping around depending on how demanding the game is. I think most people would enjoy VRR/LFC too! thank you! appreciate the comment!

MSI Claw too 120hz VRR

@tomd7724 yup, but that device is ruined by its processor

yep, both are very good options for that too.

this happens to me too 😭

fair take, and you’re right those will be coming out soon, just like how MSI is coming out with the Claw 2 already. but we don’t even know when Asus will release a new one yet and honestly the Ally X has enough power already to play most games which is why i went ahead and made a video on it. if new models do come out, then the Ally X will go on discount which might even fit someone situation even better at the lower cost. folks don’t have to buy anything, and i just wanted to make a video on the device, like i said it’s already a great piece of tech (a bit expensive 😩) thanks for the comment! i appreciate it! 🙂

@@ayemaldo I feel ya.

You could say the same for any device like phones or laptops. Better devices will come out, there's always a bigger fish. The most important thing is to buy what you want if you have money to spare and just enjoy the journey.

@@Chris.P.Bacon7 but with new gen tech just around the corner, prices are about to chsnge

thanks, realized after in editing and said fuck it

to each their own!

every handheld has its fair share of issues! all of these early models will until maybe the 3rd generation where everyone is on a similar playing field regarding specs

I ordered one and I really wanna play PoE2!

@AntonioMottaAtor good luck I have until the 30 of this month to return it I probably will and get a laptop. It doesn't do well with the maps now, I can't imagine how it will do with the maps when they are juiced. I played Poe 1 juiced maps I'll download it and run 1 see how it runs and post a video I'll link you here if you reply to me so I don't forget where the comment is

nice! i need to check out PoE2!

ahh damn, maybe it’s a PC game then. I’ll have to check it out over the weekend

@ayemaldo it runs don't get me wrong I'm not bagging on the system. Just not enough for my taste and worried about juiced maps.

hahahaha! same

i’ll def keep messing with them, i need to check out RDR2 on it

whats your settings?

Settings or it did not happen (joke) but please let us know haha

5hours wtf how 😮😮

literally!

i need to check this out!

Does the lossless scaling add any kind of latency when you use it?

that’s a great price! 🫡

Legion Go does have that nice screen!

16gb of ram is not enough bro i know the screen is gorgeous.

I cant defend the legion go. The software seems so bad and it looks incredibly uncomfortable to hold

I got the legion go 2 weeks ago. The display is worth the buggy software. A 7" screen is just not enough for me.

@@jgadiaz that's fair. I personally don't care if I have a small screen. The way I see it, is if i wanted a big screen I would just buy a laptop. I love the portability aspect. But i can see ur point

🫡

they are basically the same internally, outside of a few things like you mentioned. Solid device, really enjoying it so far

totally! hopefully we can figure something out in the future for digital games

just how my hand naturally holds it lol maybe it’s my hands 😭

@ayemaldo come on bro the deck is huge ... how large are your hands for you to be tucking your pinky under the screen

lol i guess big

potentially! believe in the hamster 🫡

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙏🏻

thank you! i appreciate it! 🙏🏻
