eGPU testing coming up soon, What GPU do you want to see paired up with the ROG Ally X over USB4?

[bmb]

Mandatory SD Card test is needed for this new version.
My OG Ally SD Card reader overheated because the solder connections melted.
No longer works, and warranty still doesn't fix the OG hardware design issue.
But other than that major flaw, I still favour this device.

[BeyondEllisBeck]

Lmfao, they always say no benchmarks because they know it will be a pointless upgrade aside from the battery life and memory size. Companies that do this stuff are so lame.

[alvaro]

pre-ordered this bad boy a few days ago.. cant stop thinking about it lol. Finally going back into gaming since I bought the Xbox 360 as a kid. We've sure come a long way

[tbidzzzz]

Rog customer support and warranty process is like poison keeping me from ever considering buying anything from them.

[benjiprod]

How many times say rog ally ?

ETA : YES

[Caba-Rojo]

This was a really smart move by ROG. If they had this product out there earlier this year, I would've picked it up over my 64/4 Kun.

[MrBeetsGaming]

I had one of the original ones and returned it, I really couldn't understand only having the 40wh battery with it being as light as it was so this is a huge upgrade in my opinion. As much as I like these I think it's still worth waiting a couple years for the hardware to keep improving, batteries will get better and so will APUs so even 2 years will probably make a massive difference. I kind of wish one of these companies would make one with a removable/rechargeable battery pack where you could just swap when 1 dies and then let that one charge while you play with the full one, it would also be nice for when the battery inevitably degrades but I don't know how feasible it is design wise.

Would you mind doing a comparison Legion Go vs Ally X

[lonewander]

I wish I could trade my Ally Z1 Extreme for this. My Ally Z1E is still good. I don't use it as much as I would like to and I do have an sd card in it I haven't checked to see if it is working because I upgraded the internal ssd, but I'm satisfied with it so far and I had it since July of last year. I just want that 2nd usb c, improved d pad, better battery, and the more ergo grip.

[TKCIW]

The only two interesting things to me are the increased RAM (16 to 24G) and double the battery life.

However… that’s not enough to upgrade from the current one if you already have one IMO.

Def needs something more powerful than the Z1E, but let’s hope an ROG 2.0 comes out with this. 👌

[scooley]

Great video! Thanks for showing performance and the UI, it answered a lot of my questions. I am coming from an LCD Steam Deck and I think the Ally X is my next purchase. I want something with more power and to bridge the gap on everything Steam OS can’t do (easily). It’s really cool to see everything Armory crate can do.

[robertlawrence]

I want one like that but with the new AMD chip.

[jonjon]

Can it sleep and continue your game where you left it like the steam deck? This feature is very important and i dont see any youtubers mentioning this.

[OblivionPrime]

I'm so hyped for my ally x i don't want to wait anymore :(

[iamghostwitagun]

I hate when he pulls it out by the thumb sticks, not the first time I’ve seen him do it.

[CuttinInIdaho]

What I love about ETA Prime…

He shows us all the goods and never gets into the drama on other tech YT.

[truthbetold]

Had I not owned multiple gaming laptops from ASUS I wouldn’t mess around with this but…since it’s the second version of it I’m confident this the one. I owned a Zephyrus M 2070 for 5 years no issues, gave it to my partner after I upgraded to a ROG Strix with a 4070. I like Asus, they cool.

[Montytheolaila]

80 watt is a game changer for these x86 handhelds. Glad Asus is designing and pushing the market forward to the boutique companies can use their tech lol.

Always crack up when you list settings:

Running at 1080p! fsr set to absolute dog shit mode and yeah wow getting 80 fps!

[KnightMD]

Someone please tell me what is that train seat live wallpaper
