I Flew With The ROG Ally - Travel Review

"I already need to travel with two laptops for my job" - Finally! someone with a similar situation with me. I was contemplating getting a gaming laptop. But told myself that my work travels already involves carrying two laptops and carrying another would be too much. Thus I just jumped the gun on getting an Ally!

ally made for eating the deck grrrr tiger

Great video. When you were on the airplane were you on WiFi? I don't understand how you can play these games like Cyberpunk without WiFi. Is the game on the device locally?

Sold my Steam Deck and Rog Ally now. Got a 2 TB SSD, Dbrand Glass and Ally Mate to attach portable battery 😢. Feel like a proud dad 🥹

just buy a POWER BANK for traveling.

Isn’t DaVinci Resolve literally known for being some of the only video editing software which is cross-platform with Linux support?

What about the sd problem ?

Your take on the situation I feel is honest and takes into account RL situations, inc playing with friends etc.

Using inner battery for long gaming sessions is a bad idea. Always use charger or powerbank: 30W turbo mode and no battery degrading.

Im very glad the rog ally came out as a steam deck user because with valve's new competition it goes to show how steam isnt just gonna make the steam deck 2 a improvement over the original deck it is gonna be a rival for its new competition its gonna have to make work with

I have an aokzoe A1 and I'm quite happy with it.
The screen on deck and ally drives me bonkers with all the blackout and wasted screen space.

I just wanna ask, since RoG Ally is powered by windows, is it prone to viruses? Should you put or install anti virus like a normal pc?

Handlehelds are useless to me. I don't have TIME to touch it even during my travel. If you're on vacation and you love anime, games are meaningless. Everything is on the phone including popular gacha titles.

I want an Ally, but it NEEDs USB4 (2 of em) and possibly occulink. I just want to be able to connect an EGPU and I'm not about to pay an arm and a leg for the XG Mobile. So i'll wait for the next version, although I'll be sad. Unless I find one one used for cheap.

Also the problems that usually happen with Asus and their 1st Gen products. (Zephyrus Duo, G14 etc.) they always get it right in the 2nd or 3rd iteration.

ROG Ally + 100w power pack = portable gaming excellence!

is there a risk when using the airplane's outlet?

Sold my RogAlly and got SteamDeck and Deck is much better** hope for future Ally may be more useful exept power

Hello Sir, what is that rumored Asus Ally with the mediatek chip, which is said to be launched in China?

This thing is not for everyone, the sticks kills my right thumb. Because I’m not a Xbox player. Sticks are toooo soft it’s hard to play some games. I returned it right after I tried it out. Hope this help

Excellent review.

Hi, can you recommend best offlines games? thanks!

Bought an Rog ally , MELTED my 1TB micro sd, 10/10

My only issue with these handhelds is stupid drm preventing games launching without an internet connection. Especially on a flight.

Been wondering which one to get to go along side my gaming laptop. Still torn between the Ally and Deck. Also as a personal note I've had no issues on a flight using my 16in gaming laptop to watch movies

hey hi i have ordered my rog ally can I travel it by plane internationally

Can y play offline game om it

I will still buy the deck, since I don't rlly care about performance (constant 60fps) or graphics, I just wanna slice jetstream sam appart on the go. And bc a steam deck is still better than my current pc🙃.

I fucking love my ally I don’t give a damn what anyone says this bitch runs good and looks good can’t wait to travel with it so far just work and home hahaha

Will you buy and or review the Lenovo Legion Go when it releases in October?

A few inches do matter ^,^b (loving my ally. i was planning on returning it when the legion go comes around, but i think I'm keeping it even if im convinced to grab the go)

Bad move, steam deck OS, community, and valve support alone will destroy the ally now and future.

Does the ally work well for offline gaming? With no internet connection at all.

You didn't buy any chance make a video going over how you used it as a desktop did you? I just got one, and the idea of plugging this thing to a monitor and editing video with it is so cool to me!

rog ally is very weak to ideal gaming experience still unable to reach 60 fps. 35 fps at 720p is barely acceptable not alone worth record games from it. 720p on 24 inch monitor is pretty much pixel mess, and Almost everybody use it just for gaming without using discord or browser at same time anyway. I think steam deck is perfect for these less demanding games. If you want to get serious gaming perfomance on go on these modern demanding games, you are much better off with laptop.rog ally is pretty much only good just for playing exclusive non steam or game pass games only.

Thanks for this review, I travel a lot and I will be going with the Ally.

with these handhelds you definitely need a big power bank to game longer lucky planes have ac outlets

I heard that if you’re not connected to the WiFi you won’t be able to play your downloaded games on steam. Anybody know if that’s accurate?

Great video thanks! Anyone try using the official charger on a plane? Does it work or should I get a lower wattage one?

On the tray tables thing. To be fair. Spirit airlines has the smallest tray tables on earth.

The ROG Ally performs way better than steam deck and has more compatibility. Steam Deck lost.

Does it have its 5g

great video, thank you

Been tto take mine on the plane, is it possible to play games from gamepass without Internet?

This video didn’t answer crap lol. How did it do in the plane? How did you charge it while being on a long flight?? What games did you run??

What do you think about the Ally X? It was double the battery life 80,000mahs, and charges to full in one hour with 100w Charging capabilities!

Playing mw3 on plane ✈️

People want to play cyberpunk for 20 hrs on handheld lmao yall wanna play triple a games and want the device to last it’s called a powerbank and there’s a configuration you can put in at 15w and it’ll last longer yall wanna have it on turbo mode all day

I mainly use mine docked. I have a list of games that i play undocked.. and docked..
