Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

Dead in the water until it has an OS optimized for gaming handhelds.

Is the ROG Ally dead in the water? It seems to be gaining some traction. I don't think it's going to overtake the Steam Deck or anything, but it satisfies that customer who wants a little extra power, resolution, and compatibility.

Every other comment i read from people who own the Ally is how clunky windows is for the form factor or how a windows update broke stuff. I mean sure, there's going to be a few people who will buy it but i don't see any windows handheld as a true competitor to the Deck, at least not before it gets a true handheld mode.

I had a GPD Win 2 and had the same experience, but the truth is that you're going to spend more time in game than dealing with Windows, so if you need that compatibility, you'll put up with it.

How much more fps do you see on the ROG Ally with the unit not blasting the fans and having 30 min battery? Curious for real.

[–] chiz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I've got an OXP2, which is 6800u/680m and my aim is usually ~40fps at 1920x1200. I've been playing Ratchet and Clank on it, and get that with upscaling, full power (28w), low (not very low) graphics and battery would last 2 hours. That's obviously brand new. Before that I played Deathloop on medium, no upscaling at 24w and I got just over 2hrs. Fans run pretty consistently, but aren't loud enough to bother me.

No idea; I've got a Steam Deck. But those slight improvements at the expense of battery life are speaking to a large enough subset of people.

Windows have performance issues compared to Linux though. Better on paper doesn't mean better performance.
