Is The ASUS ROG ALLY X WORTH IT? Honest 2 Week REVIEW

[@BastionBuxBalthazar]

3 min ad is insane

[@Oz-12]

Not all heroes wear their underwear over their pants..

[@lupegarcia8371]

Yeah this is closer to an infomercial. I stopped watching and gave a thumbs down.

[@Angelo-j7n]

Just skip it and stop crying.. content creators gotta eat too

[@victor50900]

What's insane is that you watched the entire ad without skipping😂

[@sdara357]

That’s ridiculous 😮

[@AlgorithmicApostasy]

Imagine loving your Anker power bank so much that you sleep with it bedside.

[@Harvey2Tall]

Just sold my original and got the X last week after swearing i would not upgrade. The X is amazing and im qctually blown away how much more i like it

[@JinsTechh]

Would you say the Ally X is better than the Steam Oled?

[@samuraidoggy]

I would upgrade if I could, but my Ally got a broken Right trigger button and Asus didnt want to repair it even during warranty period. So I have half broken Ally which I cant sell.

[@samuraidoggy]

@@JinsTechh I doubt he would have bought X if he thought Steam Oled is better, since Ally X is like 150-200USD more expensive than Steam Deck.

[@jokerberrz]

I just want to watch a video about rog ally x. Not anker power bank

[@Brandon-mo8np]

It is an awesome power bank though I've got 2, but totally agree I had to relook back at the time to see what I was watching review wise 😂😂

[@daspotjoel]

Yeh, that was one of the longer advertisments I've seen in a while

[@DarkKnight_god]

That's kinda dumb when you can just skip a few seconds to the video. 😂

[@jokerberrz]

@@DarkKnight_god jeez thanks captain obvious. I didn’t open a video just to skip 20 minutes. If i open a video then don’t drag the thing with stuff that i don’t care about.

[@dogvetusa]

*Chews non-existent straw Back in my day we had these things call "co-merr-shawls" where we had to wait up to 10 minutes for the content we wanted to consume, and it would repeat again 10-15 minutes later. The terrible part, we couldn't even skip ahead.

[@djizzal20]

I had the OLED. I absolutely loved it. But not being able to play certain games due to anti cheat and Ally X just being a more powerful console made me switch. I'll come back to steam when the SD 2 is released 😢

What are your top 10 games on Rog Ally X

[@RedRumOnE]

Such an Honest Review. So Honest in fact, that he had to remind everyone in the title, what an "Honest" ReViEw he got paid to make.

[@zacharykennedy4045]

does asus pay you every time you say the full product name or something

[@JmanGeezy]

Just bought one of these for my wife for Christmas. TBH, she now has a gaming PC and a traditional PC in a small form factor, since I bought the dock as well. I will update this comment once she has the chance to give it a test drive on Christmas Day! Thank you for the review

[@sthippe1992]

Dear Lord i hope anker gave you a handy for that one

[@SoEvoL]

how many charges will the Anker charge your Ally x? or if plugged in and on turbo how many hours can you play a game?

[@Shark-fj2sz]

1 time, unlimited

[@latifmadmoney713]

What do u think is better the Steam deck or the Asus Rog Ally x?

[@barryjohnson2756]

What I dislike about the rog ally and the rog ally x has the same problem for me is the screen. The screen size set me off because of those black bars. I was hopping that the x will have less black bars espatially on the top and button. It resembles a phone screen with that tall top and bottom.

[@Vanxiety12]

Yea it’s just too small. I need max immersion.

[@Swattii]

That's kinda a lame excuse. Plus if you want more immersion, can't you just hook it up to your TV?

[@adolfbilic8622]

The screen is actually incredible on it and I own plenty of OLEDs and the Ally screen still looks amazing. Want a bigger portable screen - just attach some AR glasses and booM portable cinema screen . It's the perfect size .

[@JLary71377]

Can't wait for the comparison video. I do have the special edition Steam Deck OLED 1 TB, but I might get the Ally X. Love my ASUS laptop that does do games. Oh, and I have a handheld Bluetooth keyboard with a mouse pad I use on my Steam Deck.

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

Consider the Legion Go, I have 1 and Steam Deck, Both rock together, Ally arent that special vs a laptop etc but Legion Go is special

[@shekakugaming7602]

I'm saving my money for the rog ally x because my steam deck wifi quit working I have a Switch but I don't want all my steam games to go to wast

[@jerelmarshall8146]

Lol at people not knowing how ads work. When I was 6, I just wanted watch Powere Rangers not ads about Macy's. Great review.

[@AndrewRobbins3344]

What are the pros and cons for the ROG Ally X?

[@AbeStephan]

Pro - more powerful than STEAM DECK . Con - not worth twice the cost of it .

[@johnpaulbiason8784]

I would have bought it if they included track pads so I ended up buying the Steam deck oled! So happy I did!

[@taylor91192]

I am torn between this or SD OLED. Me no know anymore

[@aYgo_1]

Im selling my OLED for this just because I dislike that i cant play COD, fortnite, Etc.. Loved my steam deck but that was a huge bummer for me

[@Layman-w6v]

Take a sip of the beer every time he says Asus ROG ALLY

[@Nobodies1986]

I'd be too drunk to finish the video! 😂

[@VictorRodriguez-ku9vw]

I would like this but what’s holding me back from it is that there’s no OLED screen.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Bazzite turns your rog ally into a powerful steam deck... Identical to steam os.. could you imagine a steam deck with a 7840u ...now you can!!!!!

[@ScribbleVicious]

Sounds dumb but the only reason I haven’t bought this is the bezels. They are way too big. Just makes me think about the wasted space that could have been screen space.

[@AbeStephan]

Aw c'mon ! I'm tired of bezel whiners .

[@fpvpilot7713]

They offer $230 trade in for my like new Rog Ally. It could not be worth my Ally and $600 dollars. That is about double what the upgrade would be worth. Can't buy the Steam deck because I would only want the limited edition version which they made limited for no good reason. They must not like money is all I can figure. They lost me over that.

[@Beanzer80]

Here the ally x is 1700 while the steam deck 1TB oled is 1049... Hmmm i would get the ally x if the pricing was closer

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Been waiting on your review of this. Please compare it to the oled steamdeck

[@TheLuis12198]

If it helps I have both at the moment and the Ally X performance wise and compatibility wise is the better device. The Steam Deck OLED is the slightly more comfortable and accesible device with its Steam OS software. Just easy to use and straight to point. You don’t have to fiddle around with the Ally to get everything up and running. Screen wise OLED has better colors and brightness but the Ally X has a smoother screen. Also forgot to mention the better battery life on the X, don’t get me wrong the Steam Deck battery is still pretty good.

[@CosmicStench_]

Steam deck just slide it into the bin

[@darealestwon]

When I think about it, between the power bank and the case , I basically spent for an ally x

[@AbeStephan]

ASUS put stands in the top cover of the box .

[@donskiUSACanada]

That anker power bank is a garbage. Returned mine to amazon. 60% juice left, i charged my phone then after a minute shut off totally.

[@idanchen4934]

So.... You can just get a gaming win 11 laptop with same or less battery length... Steam Deck still better if you want to play games then since the allay is a half of a gaming laptop.

[@LoneLeeGH]

Is this the one to get if I just want to play PS2 and N64? I don't have a PC so I'd also need to use the heldheld to DL roms.

[@heartattackray]

Anyone know if it still has the sd card issue

[@urboijash3955]

They moved the position of the SD card. I haven’t been able to find any reports of the issue happening on the X so it seems to be fixed

is it made for emulation xbox360 can you tray it?

Great video! I love the upbeat attitude and laid-back vibes. Keep up the excellent work. I’m sold on the Ally X. When I get it, it is the only question now, lol. And I’m interested in that Anker power bank for the X. I, too, have been using Anker for years; they’re great

[@ronkote]

What FPS do you get average in Jedi Survivor? It is one of my favorite games to play but it struggles very badly on my original ROG Ally. It seems memory limited so I’m wondering if the extra ram helps. I get 40-45 fps on Ally.

[@levijeske27]

Use AFMF 2. it’s out in a beta snapshot. Basically doubles the fps. There are many tutorials on KZbin. No problem.

[@xpoint9629]

I sub 'cause I am a subscriber on your other channel as well. This device is great. However with all the customer service experiences from other tech channel, which is not very pleasant, I will have to skip this device and their brand. Game plan is, either PS5 Pro, and then Steam Deck 2 is out. Good device.

[@ImTheHenster]

Yeah it's worth it because I bought it lol

[@twennehfuss4529]

What is it you want them to say lol? If you want a detailed breakdown theres a channel caled Phawx. But for general users, the experience would be the same right?

[@Yusei255]

Simple answer no, as the Original ROG Ally is still good. although the did make a bad D-pad choice with the original Ally.

[@TheAlexkokonas]

I recently got a Steam Deck OLED about 3 weeks ago and it’s amazing. These are nice but I’m very happy with the Steam Deck

[@the_real_habibi]

Would you recommend it enough to get it through a 3rd party importer, slightly marked up? (in Australia). It’s between the SD OLED and the Ally x (locally available) for me.

Spent more time making games work on the steam deck then on the Ally. I haven't had to install or uninstall anything extra with the Ally. Only adjusted to 6gig gpu ram on both ally's. Steamdeck was a nightmare. Linux is dog poop.

Just because the ability to skip is there, doesn't mean it's acceptable to bang on 3 minutes about a sponsor advert before getting to why we clicked on the vid.

[@unscarred444]

Just get laptop at that point lmao

[@robnaj]

Legon Go I think is better because the screen

[@KevyoKAJ]

I’ve got both, and I do LOVE the screen of the Go, but that’s about it in terms of my positives after over six months of ownership. The software continues to be a disappointing nightmare, there’s no ability to set any per game settings, and I’m constantly battery peaking. The Ally X screen is a let down to not match the size of the OLED Steam deck, but the VRR really does make every game super smooth. I’ve got both and I’m leaning toward selling my 2TB Go.

[@ericsatx210]

I don’t have the Ally I do have the Go and the Deck but I would never recommend the Go. Customer support is bad it’s like they don’t know the device exists. The fan collects dust faster than my other devices, charging while playing makes the left side of the device get hot which is concerning. I have a 3 year warranty so I’m probably just gonna keep my Go but again customer service sucks I got the wrong packaging sent in so I can get my device repaired(temps were getting hotter than usual and the left side of the side getting hot I thought was a defect I guess not because it is still a problem) anyways customer support had me send the device in for repair in wrong packaging replaced the fan because of fan whine which I didn’t notice. When I got my device back it was in even worse packing it was a scrambled mess( one controller was off, thumbsticks were off.) Temps still seem higher than when I first got the device it seems stressful playing honestly I think the device would’ve really benefited with another fan instead of just one 😪

[@gamingwithmars5420]

Nope. 7 inches is still adequate. VRR takes the cake

[@ericsatx210]

@@gamingwithmars5420 I actually don’t notice anything bad about the screen on the Go it’s great but like I said in my other comment it’s other issues why I wouldn’t recommend the Go. I’d also like to add the lack of support(tdp settings is still messed up and other issues) have still not been addressed. It’s pathetic honestly

[@mza2001]

ASUS items going obsolete? Sir, you are new here

[@COddietsch]

I wished you would have benchmarked it because for the price and 24 GB you should be able to set every game on high settings (just like a PC. since it is one) and it run it at least at 45 frames a sec. The human eye sees at 30, 60 is fluid, ,ore than that is smooth but if they are trying to sell this thing as their next amazing product they need to sell that memory boost. Medium, sorry is not impressive for a $800 machine with 24GB or video VRAM, if you bought a video card like that and only got medium settings out of it you would be pissed. I did subscribe though.

[@WisperingD]

Having a sponsor is one thing - having it take over 3 minutes of the video before you've got to the actual subject matter is taking the piss. Downvoted.
