@@taylorneubauer4340 as a full substitute, it requires more investment with a dock, portable keyboard, monitor, etc. Even with the extra cost for accessories, the device definitely pulls its weight, surprisingly well. It's literally a little portable desktop class machine. But for my needs, I use it like a feature capable ipad, just need the device, access to my SAP online, and emails. I've done team meetings on it without anyone the wiser I wasn't sitting at my desk. It's amazing in my use case. While some see full Win 11 as a downside, it's a huge upside for me bc I have access to all my work applications.

Good video. Ive had the ally x for just over 3 months and i remember when i first got it i wasnt sure if i was wasting my money or if i would actually use it enough. How wrong was i. I am probably on it an average of 3-5 hours a day and have so many great games that run incredibly on it. The likes of nba 2k25, wgt golf, balatro, black ops 6 zombies to name some, all run near to perfectly. Its so practical and has improved my gaming experience a lot. I would give it a solid 9 out of 10

Nice video! Playnite helps quite a bit, but Steam is still where the bulk of PC gaming occurs. If Steam Big Picture Mode would work flawlessly without any Windows quirks, I'd love my Ally X. Honestly though, it's such a pain to use outside of handheld mode and docked PC mode, trying to use it like a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, docked to a TV, still leaves a LOT to be desired as Windows frequently gets in the way still. Bazzite helps, but the device runs much hotter with Bazzite and you sacrifice all the additional AMD features like RSR, RIS, and AFMF that make this device show large performance gains compared to the Deck and Legion Go.

Don't get me wrong, I agree - I think Steam OS is great. Limiting on the SteamDeck due to linux, and game compatibility (with some titles I enjoy) but there are workarounds, especially for Battlenet games like Diablo. That being said, I've been using Playnite, and don't have any real issues with it. I like the auto-launch/ close for launchers, and it is very smooth and light on the Ally, to where it doesn't pose an issue for performance. When it comes to DOCKING it though, you're right - as a straight up "switch", its not the best. To be fair, I do own consoles, and have PC's to play on so I don't typically use the Ally in another mode, aside from handheld the way it's intended to be used. I think we can all agree, Windows is the best, and worst thing for these handhelds. Great compatibility but can make some things a chore. Though, I will take some of the annoyances that come along with it if it means I am able to play ALL of the games I own with no compatibility issues.

I grabbed both the go and ally x on sale im only keeping one. I love the ally x and great battery but once you hold the legion and see that screen it's hard to to go back. The legion is just a way more comfortable grip for me and synthetic benchmarks between them the legion wins every time (timespy, userbenchmark). Im probably going to return the legion ONLY because there's def a new one coming soon and more than likely will have an oled screen and bigger battery. Until then I ordered a grip for the x to help with comfort and I love not having to worry about battery. Also in certain games having the extra ram helps, I've experienced crashes on higher end games just trying medium settings on the go, where the ally x doesn't. Also the quick menu pops up alot faster on the x then the go. Their both great. Legion was down to 579 when I got it and allyx was 699. Both well worth those prices. I recommend a nice battery pack to go with the legion if anyone goes for that, or run at 15 watts unless plugged in.

The main reason I'm looking to pitch out an extra 200 bucks on this instead of the Legion Go, despite ASUS's recent issues with customer service and warranty refusals, is that it is so top-notch and I haven't actually talked to anyone who had to return one due to faulty hardware. I want to replace my work laptop with it. I already carry around a portable monitor, 85wh battery with an outlet, and keyboard and mouse with me. This will be smaller than the laptop I'm replacing it with, and be able to replace my gaming laptop as well. My goal is to get an eGPU dock as well, so when I have it at home I can run heavy AAA games at max quality. I game at 1080p, so most modern hardware lets me hit max. With that in mind, anyone disagree with me on this being a good choice?

The “extreme” you are mentioning is the SoC, the Ally X also has the Z1 extreme - but because of the additional memory (24GB vs. 16) and it being clocked much higher you can allot more to the GPU, (I have it set to 8) with 16 left over for RAM. Meaning you could play more demanding titles with less issues (on paper).

The honest truth is I would just buy a X1 instead of this. Even if it costs $200 more. Once you’ve committed to paying $800+ then what’s the difference? You obviously have the money.

Yes, of course. Windows is great for emulation because there is just so many tools. Steam Deck would be good too if you want a cheaper device. But the Ally X would give you best of both worlds, especially with higher-end AAA games.

They really should have put an OLED screen on this. After using my desktop monitor and switch then going back to the Ally it definitely is a bit disappointing. Even if it cost battery life a bit and was a bit more expensive I wouldn't have minded.

Im curious about one thing in particular with the Ally X. Does 25W and up still blow very hot air right where your fingertips are or is it cooloer with the new cooling system? I tend to rarely use 25W/30W on my Z1E Ally because the hot air tends to burn my fingertips. I'm still likely getting the X next year but am just curious about this.
