ASUS ROG Ally: The Perfect Handheld Console? 

It's amazing to think we used to put a cartridge in the handheld and play the game. Now we're wirelessly streaming AAA games. Haha, don't even need a plug in light to see the screen. Man I feel old 🤣

This guy reviews always clean straight to the point. No time to waste with this channel. Great job man!

Can't lie, looks wicked. Gamepass on this looks insane! Beautifully presented video Spawnpoiint👏🔥

Bruh! This is the best review on RU-vid for the ROG. Like literally, Months of clicking on different videos. This is top notch you hit everything precise.

Finally someone explained how adding custom apps to the Game Library screen worked, thank you!

You answered all my questions about this hand-held, now im getting it. Thanks!

Actually bought mine today from Best Buy, couldn't wait for delivery lol. Haven't got to playing anything yet and still setting it up, but extremely excited. This thing feels top notch. The speakers are amazing.

Thank you for bringing this video out before my ROG Ally delivers on the 13th! I also loved seeing your matched colors with the controllers and mouse next to the Ally. This has to be the cleanest, most visually stunning review.

SpawnPoiint you can review a single Amiibo, and not even one of the good ones, and I'll be here for it. Your delivery is so dang good not to mention your pristine set up. You are easily one of the best reviewers on RU-vid.

For that price it feels like an amazing deal. Nice gaming handheld review.

Nice gaming handheld! This might be my first pc handheld purchase!

I pick up mine on Tuesday. Can’t wait. What a nice gaming handheld. Well done video.

One of the best reviews I've seen for the rog ally. I'm more confident in my preorder now. I have the steam deck so I was more afraid of the redundancy of having both. I stream game pass on my steam deck already but now I know i can download games for offline use and have a ps plus app in addition to call of duty on the asus so I'm sold now.

Nice gaming handheld. Of all the videos I watched this one provided the best explanation of all the different functionalities of this console Thank you Spawn Point.

This is by far the best ROG Ally review I’ve seen thus far.

Great review, top notch as always man! Keep up the great work

I got mine in the mail a couple days ago... I've been doing everything on it more than my PC.. which makes me conflicted I expected it to be good... but not this good. 😅 I love the fact I can do anything on it that I can on my PC.

Being able to play PS5, PC, and Xbox games on this may make me buy.

From the 1.000 videos i watch on youtube about the ally u were the only one that responded to all my doubts, for that i thank you

NICE GAMING HANDHELD! I was on the fence about this machine. But after watching your video. I think I need it! Impressive piece of tech.

I have been waiting for this review since you dropped that short

Keep up this amazing level of work and detail🎮🎮

Nice gaming handheld, side note thanks for being so thorough with the review!

Perfect video everything is so clear and because of that i can use mine straight when i get it

It's fantastic. I haven't enjoyed a windows gaming experience in the total package this long in a long time. I find myself starting off seeing how much I can get this device to run, and so far it's been very little that it won't. If the battery would run top titles for 5 hours before needing a charge, it'd be about as perfect of a handheld as you could get today. The fact that it is also a standard windows computer is a bonus for power users/IT types. One device to rule them all.

Great review, this is the real device. Nice gaming handheld for reals 🔥

This is the best review of the ROG Ally on RU-vid by far!! Awesome video bro 👍🏽

I’m amazed. 😂 a ps5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox series x, and a PC all in one handheld. 😂 and for less than $1000

I CANNOT WAIT to try this out! And what a great review!!!

This thing is just too awesome. I can't wait.

Nice Gaming Handheld! Love the video man, you deserve way more subs!

As a person who travels for work (currently on a one month trip), this sounds amazing. I have a switch and it is ok for what it is but Ally seems a better option given it can play windows games and i have a huge library.

This will be a game changer. The fact that it can be hooked up to Tvs as a dock is insane. Versatility

Pre-ordered one of these and getting pretty excited about it's arrival. Great review that's got me even more hyped!!

I got one last week ( thanksgiving ) as my birthday present to myself. I love it. Once you get it set up, you can play all your games on it. It’s also a fully functioning windows pc too. It does a great job on Spatial Audio whether through the speakers or headphones.

I just bought it do to your review 😁 Ima use it for game pass!

This review really makes me wanna buy it

ROG Ally is a beast! Can't wait until receiving mine on the 13th. Nicest handheld out there

Thanks for the review! Cuz I am going to buy it😃

Been debating grabbing a handheld and after watching numerous videos, your's sold me the most. I ordered before the video even finished lol. thanks for getting straight to the point PS Nice Gaming Handheld

The fact that this is a portable windows 11 pc is a strong point for me! I couldn’t figure out why so many people were acting like this was a bad thing. Compared to the steam deck... windows 11 over steam OS is a win. There’s no gamble on what you can play. Or am I wrong??

Awsome handheld! Great review !

dude this review is really really good keep it up you just got a sub

Nice Gaming Handheld for sure. Mine is set to arrive in the next few hours. Can't wait.

After intesive research. Finally decided to buy it over steamdeck. Its truly next gen and the price is just hundred dollar more. Its no brainer for me. I have monster PC. But i buy this only because its a handheld. I always been of handhelds and this looks like what ive been waiting for a long time.

Great review! I was looking for someone to test the PS Remote option. Along with the flexibility with Steam, Xbox, Epic, this already looks like a solid choice vs the Steam Deck.

0:08 OOOOOOO Let em KNOW! Great vid!

Great review you contribute so much in my purchase… I bought my LG C1 cause of you and so much more more Now I will take this cause of this review thanks 😉

Not gonna lie...this thing looks AMAZING

I went back and forth over what to buy between this and the Steam Deck, ultimately I went for the Deck mainly because of the price, what I saved got me the dock, a 1TB nvme drive to upgrade the deck and a power bank, that said I was lucky enough to compare them side by side, a friend is a tech head and he had both and I was leaning toward the Ally if I'm honest simply for the screen, it's amazing, you really can't appreciate how good it is until you use them side by side, it really is that good. Another reason I went for the deck was that I found when using the Ally it stuttered on more demanding titles not massively so but enough to be an annoyance, but that stopped when I had the power cable connected, also to get the performance it boasted over the Deck made it very power hungry though in fairness it's easy to make the Steam Deck chew through its battery power on demanding titles as well. At first I thought that using Windows on the Ally would also be the difference that would've made me choose it over the Deck but Windows is a double edged sword, it's one of the biggest strengths of the Ally but it's also a weakness, if there was ever an excuse for a cut down mobile version of Windows for a mobile device, the Ally is it, I think in the future if Microsoft can find a way to deliver a more mobile device friendly version of Windows I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. There's a lot to love about the Ally but I think it will be a better buy when it's had a year or so in the wild and I do think I will pick one up eventually, just that moment the Deck was a better fit for me.

Can't wait to pickup my rog ally from best buy on Tuesday! Happy gaming, yall

The fact that the OS is windows 11 simply kills the steam deck, I'm about to preorder this handheld looks like a beast and I can take great use of it with my vast library of games on steam, Xbox and PlayStation so keen, this review sold it for me

I remember Asus, for the last 10 years everyone pronounced it Ay-Sis. Now all of the sudden it turned into Ah-Soos.

NICE GAMING HANDHELD, Bro. Thank you for this video.

This video is indistinguishable from an advertisement

I just got mine today and initially I was feeling a tinge of buyers remorse when right out the gate the on screen touch keyboard didn't appear during the initial set up but thankfully a restart sorted that out. Then Middle Earth: Shadow of War somehow performs worse on the Ally than on the Steam Deck despite me setting the thing to full power so I thought that perhaps this isn't the gaming machine it's cracked up to be. I then tried Grim Dawn and Mad Max and those performed better than they did on the Steam Deck; to the point where the 120hz display got to shine. The fact that it also comes with 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate is a nice touch

Nice Gaming Handheld! Awesome review. Preordered and ready to go with the XG Mobile 6850M XT

First review that showed PlayStation plus on the armory crate which I appreciate

Nice gaming handheld! I really love this handheld console. Your review put the final nail in the coffin. Gonna get me one of these 👍🎮

You forgot to mention the Asus ROG XG Mobile GPUs that can be connected to this and boosts your gaming performance while giving you more ports if used as a PC, but other than than that amazing video 👍

Got mine yesterday. I want to love it, but it will just freeze and shut off randomly. Tried updating Windows & BIOS. Even did cloud recovery and diagnostics test twice. Tells me everything is fine, yet still does it. Hope mine will work lol

You provided the best detailed review on the device. Thanks!

Best review i have watched so far most of the time i get bored an turn off but you covered what i wanted to know thanks

Goodbye steamdeck

This console got more storage than my laptop😭😭

I absolutely cannot wait to get my rag ally on the 13th looking forward to it absolutely outstanding video going over all the features and whatnot Thank you good sir

I pre-ordered mine this weekend. I am so pumped about it. I hope I can get it on Tuesday and it won't be sold out and I have to wait, I have to go out of town for two weeks and this will definitely help with the downtime.

This is dope. Steam MUST get a app so we can play Xcloud and PS Remote play cause this almost got me ready to cheat 👀

Have a 2tb steam deck with w11 but have this coming on tuesday and I am so excited. If it lives up to my expectations then I will keeo this and out my deck on ebay

This is a really great review, covered tons of my questions about the device and was snappy, interesting and contained loads of good tips. Thanks! *clicks subscribe*

Nice gaming handheld. I personally am a fan of the Ayaneo devices, and currently own one myself, competition is always a good thing for the consumers

This is such great piece of hardware, i would love see where it is year from now. But concern is battery and software optimisation! Keepin my fingers crossed for this one! Hoping for steam deck upgrade as well, they said design upgrade would be coming soon if not hardware. Ik they don't steam deck 2 is far.

With all these competitive handhelds coming to the market I'm very curious how Sony are going to price their handheld

Thank you for this review! Amazing! Can't wait to get mine on Tuesday!

You called it a plug and not a brick. Thank you! 😁

Nice Gaming Handheld. This and the backbone are definitely the way to go in terms of a gaming handheld for remote play. It is a shame that sony seems not to want to release a Vita 2. The upcoming Q Lite is not going to sell well due to the amount of competition out there and in my opinion the design is hideous. Plus knowing sony, they are going to end up overpricing it.

Nice gaming handheld! Mine gets here today! Ordered a 1tb 2230

After seeing this review, I'm definitely sold.

That display looks crispppp

One thing I liked about the Steam Deck is I can use the trackpad feature for some games. I think this device should have put that feature on there and it's a missed opportunity. I'll be waiting for the next version of Steam Deck before I update

I bought mine yesterday and I haven't even opened it yet. I'm having the worst case of buyers remorse I've ever felt. But, this video is exactly what I needed to see. Straight to the point and really well put together. Thanks.

Best review yet, gave me all the info i needed

TYSM spawnpoiint you have indeed inspired me to get a asus rog ally now I cant wait to grab myself a rog ally :)

The only issue i have with the ally is the unnecessary cringe gamer aesthetics of the thing with ASUS Rog products, otherwise something more minimal or sleek in design would be much better.

Nice Gaming Handheld, actually impressed but not surprised at all. ASUS does this massive thing with ROG every time they publish one. But according to me the charging is not as fast as the mobile devices we use (Phones). What do you think the reason is? Also love from India and your demonstration style is gorgeous. Don't stop doing this dude. Btw I don't play games.

NICE GAMING HANDHELD.. this is definitely one i'd buy

NICE GAMING HANDHELD! Awesome review can’t wait to get mine by Tues

people need to start seriously asking themselves what they want out of there computer. i mean, for me. video games was always number one. DOCKing this thing makes it a gaming computer

Not a single reviewer so far has mentioned how well FPS games like Warzone 2.0 perform on this!

Sold. I'm getting one, no question asked. See you in game people 👏✌️

Nice Gaming Handheld! This is so dope man. 👍🏾

I’m sticking to the Steam Deck until we get the Steam Deck 2.

The battery life is a deal breaker for me and the design is also very obnoxious. I like the design of the Loki Mini Pro because it just looks so sleek and clean. Nice and simple. I think thats what I"m gonna go with. Would like the Ally if it had a much simpler design and better battery life.

I must of seen your short video if this 100x love the video man, waiting for mine. Till tuesday

Thanks! Great review. Mines on the way

You still can't beat the steam deck for price, their software, UI and long term support. No idea if asus will drop it after a year

i love this channel so much, my favorite tbh, appreciate your work hopefully i can start working on creation someday too.. "Nice Gaming Handheld" btw

The fact that a gaming device comes with power point pre-installed is egregious. Windows is really something else nowadays. Amazing device though, when Im playing a game and i forget windows is running, its easily my favorite device to date.

I bought one of these yesterday for my trip put if the country OMG this is insane love this video is one of the best explanations of this ROG

Technology sure has come a long way. I have been waiting for a capable and powerful device like this for a long time. I might be asking Santa to bring me one this year. And by Santa I mean me.😅
