Asus Rog Ally worth it in 2024? Palworld, Modern Warefare 3, Starfield 🌃

Asus Rog Ally was a surprise drop that brought handheld PC gaming developed by ASUS in 2023. Could a Portable PC still play games such as Palworld, Modern Warefare 3 or even Starfield? Asus Rog Ally features a 7" screen with 120 Hz 5ms and standard PC gaming controls, I will also share with you my honest thoughts of the Asus ROG ally with use AMD's Z1 Extreme which contain AMD's 4nm processor and Radeon chipset that contains RDNA 3. It will also contain LPDDR5 of up to 16 GB,
various storage options and will be able to connect Asus' Egpu which can be the RTX 4090.

[@DustBunny-xd8rz]

The ROG Ally is one of the greatest gaming purchases I have ever made. This thing is incredible

[@frenchielife85]

which one u have

[@MikeCriticalOps]

@@frenchielife85the only one worth getting

[@TheOfficialChannelOfChannels]

Me too until my Micro Sd Card Slot Died

[@NoPunk1982]

Same here. It has fried my sd card slot and I still don't care 😂

[@MikeCriticalOps]

@@NoPunk1982 yeah it’s way more worth getting a ssd if you want more storage

[@oceanswithnoend]

Heck yeah, love my ROG Ally z1 extreme. Upgraded the ssd to 2tb. Can’t go wrong.

[@ChrisMizo]

Smart man 👌

[@user-yv5gv7be5j]

Please how do you deal with the ba3? I want to sell my steam deck oled

[@RyanLBC]

got my ally on day 1 drop. only thing i hate about it of course is the sd card reader but outside of that ever since i upgraded internal memory to 2tb ive been playing on it more then my 4090 pc setup. being able to sit on the couch and lie down with it is nice. lot of the time after work i just dont feel like sitting on my desk to game.

[@darth_dunedain106]

You really enjoy it more than your 4090? That's crazy. What games do you recommend/play on it? How is armory crate?

[@Lecream1]

I started playing starfield two days ago and I am shocked at how snood it runs. It’s just stupid smooth even at low setting. I am just stunned…smh I am glad I purchased this thing a week ago.

[@ChrisMizo]

It's incredible how well it plays on Ally 🤯

[@dcjrsrt10]

The rog ally has been amazing to me, had it since day one and never had issues, my steam deck is great but I always come back to the ally for cod warzone, cyberpunk and red dead 2

[@Anomalyy666]

Can steam deck handle bigger games?

[@ChrisMizo]

@Anomaly66666 absolutely not ❌

[@icloutfactory]

I honest don’t know what happened but the moment I reset my rog ally and reinstalled windows my microsd card slot started working again. Idk who this may help but lmk ☁️❤️

[@juan150]

Nice review Chris. What’s the router on your desk? Asus?

[@ChrisMizo]

it's the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, thanks for watching 🙏

[@Virtual-Playground]

Seriously considering buying one. But I'm worried that they are going to release soon another one that will cost the same and have more performance

[@kngjojo6944]

No just a better screen and upgraded sd slot placement and battery other than that same chip

[@ChrisMizo]

If they do it won't be until 2025 from what i believe.

[@silentcontrol85]

I think the same about whether it is still worth it, since it has already been confirmed that the second generation is being worked on. ""We most likely will launch a second generation [handheld gaming console] this year. We will still keep the Windows features, but we will focus more on gaming"" Arnold Su, VP Consumer and Gaming PC, Asus India But I think it won't be released until 2025. Why...??...since AMD won't bring its new chip onto the market until the end of the year and therefore there wouldn't be enough time for production + launch.

[@I9IIEIIYIIEIIS]

what you wanna do is kill the vertical movement on the right stick, and use gyro for it. trust me.

[@DJCJ999]

I'm glad you talked about the joysticks... I was wondering why I was suddenly aiming at the sky when playing Fortnite... now I know I need hall effect upgrade. So I had the OG 512 Steam Deck and the Lenovo Legion Go but the Ally is the best handheld hands down.

[@ChrisMizo]

Happy that helped. It really is amazing compared to other PC handhelds .

[@jedimojojojo1603]

I'm going to wait. There's suppose to be an Ally 2 or refresh coming this year.

[@ChrisMizo]

We’ll see if it comes to fruition 👀

[@coltonatwell7615]

No refresh coming spec wise not till 2026

[@Anomalyy666]

With an oled screen probably

[@jjayala]

Im glad i have my ally but im on my 3rd one, and have a crap repair story on top. But i was aware of these things. My R8 model and constant updates seem to help. I have no confidence in the sd slot long term but have used it and on the 2 devices ive been able to play on never experienced this issue, but it's real. Long story short i love my ally, but im glad i didnt sell my xbox as a way to save or make some cash and value my nintendo switch a little more than i already did. Runs about everything ive thrown at it, i personally avoid turbo mode keep it at 18 watts. But thats just me. I know what it can do when id decide to crank it. Im also a fan of the cloud although it isnt perfect and for games i dont want eating storage its the best device ive uses for that. I'd say if you are a pc snob and skeptical probably not for you. But i am a busy dad who works weird hours and i dont have a pc prior to this so i am glad i have one. If this will last me 2 years ill be very happy. I just dont see me keeping a $620 (which i got it for) gaming pc for more than 2 years. I will want to upgrade by then.

[@ChrisMizo]

Perfectly understandable, Ally is great when your busy and having a console to go with it gives you a even better experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching!

[@denisdenis4160]

What do you recommend buying rog ally or legion go?

[@ChrisMizo]

portability ROG Ally, if you don't mind a little awkwardness and a larger screen legion Go.

[@juan150]

Legion Go is super uncomfortable. Controllers really dig in your palms and it’s painful, specially the left hand side controller. Rog Ally is super comfortable compared!

[@user-nx1qe3fg2h]

Asus Rog has vrr

[@justswitched8841]

It would have been if it wasn't for the micro sd card burning. Nearly everyone i know has had issues with the micro sd card reader. Including me.

[@WarrenGuan]

Yeah, and temperature could be as high as 95c I heard.

[@Goofboyz]

whats the battery life like when cloud gaming

[@ChrisMizo]

Battery life cloud gaming can last up to 4-5 hrs

[@vellcounty213]

I got my Rog Ally with 2T was just $199.00 more.

[@howicontent]

All i care about is Tekken 8. The praise and hype post launch is unprecedented and i don't wanna miss the party. I wanna grind combos on the go and play online on weekends since I wont spend much time at home. Ally i think is the one. I'll play in 720p idc

[@jurgenbussche]

i got steamdeck the problem with my ally my sd card shows up in windows mode in steam not what's wrong my friend ?

Hmmm I'm not sure what you mean, can you clarify?

[@cqllel5186]

Well, it offers less performance than a Mini PC for the same price As a handheld, it's not at all well made nor competent. 'Muh power' isn't gonna be enough to compete against its main competitor in the handheld market as it's all it brings to the table I've seen PC handhelds thru out the years, and they all have the exact same issue: over spec'd with a severely underpowered battery. Biting off more than it can chew As a gaming machine in general, it's not bad. It's over priced compared to Mini PCs. As a handheld, it's not good. Especially not with all the other options on the market. Poorly designed. Not well thought out. Rushed. A quick cash grab, jumping on the latest fad. That's what it rly feels like

[@Speculatiion]

Which PC handles throughout the years are you referring to 💀

[@cqllel5186]

@@Speculatiion That's a good question. I never actually paid attention to their names, and if I did, I've long forgotten. I think Win GDP might've been some of them? I just saw the $1200+ price tags and didn't bother to look into them further. I merely kept a 'loose' eye on them. I often saw them pop into my recommendations since 2018. But that's about it. Errytime I looked at them, they had the same issue: They got rly hot, and they didn't last long I've tried looking for them recently, but I can't get any results apart from Ally, LeGo, and Steam Deck, and whatever new handheld is coming

[@cqllel5186]

@@Speculatiion That's a good question. I never paid attention to their names. Even if I had, I've long since forgotten. "AMD" was the front and foremost in the titles. Could've been Win GDP or One X Player? They've been at it for a while, I think. These PC Handhelds are what lead me to discover a KZbinr called "ETA Prime" who reviews handhelds and Mini PCs n stuff I just remember the "AMD" in the titles and seeing $1200 pricetags. I always called them worthless since I could build a PC that is far superior for the same price. Those PC handhelds were literally worthless and sucked at being portable. The ONLY people buying them, are idiots and people who have nothing to buy and $1200 lying around I've been seeing these PC Handhelds since 2018. They were all laughable with their 1080p120 displays, their RGBs, them getting RLY hot, etc. Gawd they were so stupidly designed
