This guy's reviews are great! He might not have the fancy transitions like the bigger reviewers but his reviews always seem genuine and unbiased

[@gregoryburkhead7813]

I agree ... I always come back .. its just him .. I remember when he had the army table print .. sometimes some people over do it .. but shout out to all

[@FlossyCarter]

Cheers Fellas 🥂

[@awesomehigames]

Floss got nearly 2 million subscribers and been in the game over a decade. I'd consider him a bigger reviewer, but the only real reviewer.

[@MasterofPokemonGing]

Not having the fancy transitions makes it feels more realistic and shows everything

No other reviewer does a smell test though

I already have an ROG Ally, I just came to watch Floss have fun playing games.

Flossy is so chill and down to earth he's straight to the point. Love it. I still prefer my Steam Deck but i have my eye on this but the battery life is horrendous.

[@FlossyCarter]

Thanks my friend! Yeah the steam definitely has better battery

[@blackpanthertchallalem8522]

You can set the screen to 60hz and run your games at 15 watts if you want to match steam deck battery settings

[@robkinney1974]

I love my Steam Deck. Diablo 4 from my couch is magic.

[@jdgreen214]

​@@blackpanthertchallalem8522I heard it doesn't run well at those settings. I don't have one so a can't confirm it.

[@jr-wg6os]

​@jdgreen214 they was fixed with an update. But your right at first it did have some issues but not terrible. But the updates match and I believe are more efficient then the steam deck at 15w

[@StLounatic]

I got a great deal on a SteamDeck, so I'm sticking with that, but I am really glad to see the handheld market take off. Great review as always, and I think it sold me on getting Street Fighter 6.

[@ModernMan23]

Floss thank you for reviewing it from a CASUAL gamers standpoint! I respect all the benchmarkers and super technical KZbinrs, but normal people like you and I need to see this. I absolutely love my ROG Ally. Fkn rips through everything and used with the dock w Bluetooth keyboard / trackpad it's straight up a desktop replacement! So much value for $699

[@prefontaine2790]

If I hadn't bought the ROG Zephyrus G14 earlier this year, I would've bought the Ally & used it as a desktop replacement. It's shockingly powerful. My laptop has the Radeon 680m iGPU in it, & that thing can run 98% of games just fine, & the 780m in the Ally is about 25-30% better.

[@SB-ts2ro]

Picking mine up after work today! Flossy never disappoints

[@ReelEmN]

I haven’t picked up my Deck since grabbing this Ally. That screen and the speakers with those graphics…man it’s so nice. The battery is Ass though. But when it dies, I go take a piss, scroll IG baddies, grab a drink and by then it’s charged back up to 100%

[@joealvarez9901]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS FLOSS!!! My nephew just made it into High School and I've been wanting to reward him with something like this but I wasn't sure what the difference was. This really helps me narrow down my decision. Also, Mark Rivea (spell check) is always my favorite part of your videos, I love his energy! Salut!

How do you like yours?

[@xbaumann]

I’ve been interested in this. I got the Steam deck already but am very excited to see how competition drive the market to preform better.

[@prefontaine2790]

The iGPU is a Radeon 780M. There are devices being released for the same price with the 680M. The CPU & iGPU in this device is incredibly capable. If you don't have a desktop PC or laptop, you can plug this thing in to a monitor, keyboard, & mouse and use it like a regular desktop.

[@Gabilleta]

The ROG Ally have already displaced a lot of my other consoles use, and even my laptop. Despite all the early bugs and issues that have surfaced online about it, I still believe it has a lot of potential.

[@gsa509]

[@mandaloresmercy]

For everyone who gets this device, I highly recommend finding a video on adjusting the registry key and power profiles. I followed one and my temps dropped by 10 - 20 degrees! Much better for sustained usage if you're using turbo so you dont cook your SD card slot.

[@grasz]

Been waiting for my boy flossy on this. Was not disappointed.

Great device to take on the go. I've been playing it a lot on breaks at work and business trips.

Although Flossy reviews are extremely detailed with everything from full specs sheet to on hand functionality the man keeps it so real every god damn time its like you’re just hanging out with a friend learning about what you are about to spend a shitload of money on. Love this channel, hands down the best reviewer out there!

[@SCORPIO2011]

Seen these reviewed by owners or interested people on Facebook ..but this is one of the reviews I have been waiting for ,as I love flossy’s reviews

[@FlossyCarter]

Thanks my friend

[@StuieHunter]

The Ally is so cool, but it's ridiculously expensive over here in Ireland. Cheapest Deck here is €400, cheapest Ally is €850 from what I've seen. Major respect to the Ally, but I'm happy with the value for money my steam deck has been giving me.

[@johnhorak2000]

On top of that the performance is not much better. Heavy games are maybe 20-50 percent faster, but in some cases Steam Deck has better performance thanks to preloaded shaders and overall Valve support while Rog will shutter. Plus much better battery life. Its just nobrainer for half the money.

[@alipacheco5877]

⁠@@johnhorak200020-50 percent is very significant, especially when paired with vrr. However in battery life it absolutely does beat the ally.

[@shonen84]

[@gurlgamer05]

I have a Steam Deck already but I’m mostly watching because I enjoy Floss’s reviews.

[@unspoken000]

Floss!! Love my Ally. Took some time and got it fine tuned. Took the windows bloat out of it. Set up a manual mode to control the wattage and graphics. And got the Gyros working. A major, major, go!!!

[@bxprodigy7943]

One of the greatest tech reviewers… God bless, Been interested in getting a portable PC like this. Been wanting to know if this is worth it today compared to others for its price and sleekness. I’m tempted , but am unsure because it is pricey. Hopefully you see this, I would love your opinion. I know you must get tons of comments (and it’s an older video) Have a good one !!!

[@kindbud]

I was waiting to hear you review this! I got an all ASUS ROG pc build. I'm getting this for sure! Staying in the ASUS ROG ecosystem!

[@GYM65]

Great review! I play on the "Performance" setting all the time, mainly Call of Duty and I get a little over two hours of battery life which is plenty for me! This is a great handheld and will improve in time.

[@xenuprime1]

Still happy with my Steam Deck. It is plenty good enough until the next gen deck. Great vid as always Floss!

[@OGkush69x]

Same. Rog ally looks nice but just got my steam deck around $400 bucks couple months ago. Plays any new game and the screen is so small it looks great at 800p. Decent fps i get 45-49 fps on miles morales, god of war etc. already installed retro arch and have all emulators and roms from snes,n64,ps1,ps2,gamecube gba etc all run flawless👌. Also heard steam deck performs much better at lower wattage (e.g emulators) and battery last ten fold longer. Its a much more versatile device specially with the mouse touch pads👌

[@JBentham1523]

Yeah I have both and getting 30 fps on low on AAA on the deck gets frustrating really fast. The Aly is on another planet

[@OGkush69x]

@@JBentham1523 i get 45-49fps on medium. Even high doesnt dip below 42-43fps. Maybe yours is defective? Have you installed cryo utilities? 100p more resolution and 10 more fps is hardly “on another planet” on a already small 7inch non oled screen. Def not worth double the price😂 At that point id just turn on my gaming pc and play ultra, 4k on my OLED panel 😂 now thats on another planet(;

[@JBentham1523]

@@OGkush69x don't lie you never have 45 fps on medium or high on God of war. Even on 720p with fsr ultra performance (image looks uglier than 240x320 ps3) you hit maximum 40 fps on low at start, 30 fps on big demanding moments

Was hoping Floss would review the Asus ROG Ally. Got a good deal on mine and have been enjoying it ever since I bought it. 100% agree on liking it better than the Steam Deck. Still keeping the Steam Deck though. Thanks Floss!

[@WildharpieECW]

Oh what kind of deal?

[@jermonnelson]

@estebancw4765 Not the greatest deal but $657.99 open box excellent from Best Buy. It was the weekend of the release, so I knew it hadn't been beat up. They only had one in store, so I checked it out and brought it home. No issues whatsoever except the user error of me learning how to use it.

[@chasenhorizons]

Man Floss, I've been trying to convince my 'daddy duty' friends that they need to get this or the Steam Deck. I know both are great (and I have the Steam Deck), but I know from their perspectives the 'full Windows experience' is probably overkill. They would ONLY use it for gaming - so the Steam Deck would be perfect. Deck Dads all day. Alright nerd glasses on - That said - the ONLY downside is that 'full Windows experience' is a LOT easier when installing/adding non-Steam games or otherwise - because it's a laptop at that point. On the Steam Deck there are too many hoops you have to go through to add games like Diablo 4, or any launcher for that matter are just almost too much of that 'Linux experience'. Too much odd install processes and such.

[@FlossyCarter]

I wish I had this when I was on Dad Patrol 😂

[@ThroneRoomGaming]

That right there! Thanks for that. I've seen so many reviews based off the model that was sent from ASUS to the reviewer. This is the first where some one actually bought a unit and reviewed. I learned more here.

[@rowb3259]

Bought this for my self yesterday as a Christmas present and I am absolutely stunned by this device…. The imperfections like the battery and small bugs is what sold me as it’s realistic and logically make sense. As a console gamer I can say this device is absolutely revolutionary and steers me more away from console gaming and portable pc gaming ! The future is looking bright

[@rowb3259]

Side note, I think a device like this is the start to the end of confusion and console wars. One place for everything, on the go too ? I can’t believe this thing exists as early as 2023

[@Nhmusicoffish]

Getting the rog was the easiest choice for me. Was excited for the deck, realized you can’t add mods by placing in root folder hence why I dislike the deck. You can install windows, but that’s a task. Once rog came out, got it three weeks after it came out. The performance is fucking crazy. Basically like having a rtx 3050 in a handheld. Most people don’t know how to utilize it tho yet which is crazy. I am a pc nerd so that could be why

[@Isaypreach]

So how does utilize it if i may ask

[@Mzz_401]

A good power bank for this is the base us 65 watt power bank from Amazon.

Ally looks great but companies sleeping on the steam deck track pads. They are amazing.

Ally is good for your AAA console games they launch on PC at same time. Great review Floss. You killing the game. I wish you could review everything in my life. I miss cooking with Floss.
