@@BarelyAverageDude Thanks! I loved the suggestion, I think I might place an order later. This seems like exactly what I prefer.

Yeah it’s definitely expensive.

@@ox3965 Steam Deck is great, but definitely not the end of the story. This is just the beginning.

@@ricarmig yes. Plug it in first then install drivers. You can’t install Nvidia drivers without the eGPU connected. What did you hear? It’s very easy

@ I heard that the first time you want to use it, you had to DDU AMD’s, then plug the eGPU in ( with a Nvidia card ), install Nvidia drivers and only then, unplug the eGPU and install AMD’s. Other ways would make a conflict or not see the Nvidia card. I had a Surface Pro and it was easy, just plugged the eGPU in, installed Nvidia drivers and everything I had it plugged in, it would load Nvidia drivers. I still didn’t test with my Lenovo Go

@ricarmig there would be a conflict if you use an AMD EGPU because does the Z1 extreme uses proprietary drivers. There is no conflict with the Nvidia GPU because it has totally separate drivers. This is why I specifically said this is the best eGPU for the Ally X because you don't have to deal with all that extra stuff. Where did you hear there's a conflict?

@ on TH-cam, some a long time ago

@@panico08 TH-cam has to enable that feature, my apologies. Hopefully the automatic captions are working

@@Mowjojojo-wp9lq Kun still #1 to me 👍🏽

@@crankyboiy price is definitely wild, but there are no devices with similar specs out right now. Battery is on the smaller side, but because the processor is much more efficient, you can match the ally’s 30watts with only 17W on the F1 Pro. This means that if you aim for comparable performance, the battery life isn’t much less.

Your just poor bro it’s ok the steam deck can even run half the shit this can

@@BarelyAverageDude yes but there's no way legion go 2 or rog ally 2 will be this pricey. The new MSI claw has almost the same spec, actually better, without OLED and is 400+ less. It's 20% faster with better battery. This doesn't even make any sense.

@@KD-wc4rs it's not just steamdeck, the price and spec ratio doesn't match. Compare it with the MSI 8 AI+. Also compare it with the legion go 2 coming out 1st quarter. Big difference in specs and is and will be much cheaper. But if you'd rather waste your money on overpriced shit than pay less for a better device then knock yourself out. #stupidity

@@crankyboiy stupidity ? Bro we can argue this all day this only a problem IF YOUR BROKE in the grand scheme of things most of these things aren’t really different I can clearly buy whatever I want so money ain’t n issue

@@edwardlashley3572 if you just want to OLED then yeah the 8840u option could be the one for you. But keep in mind that the performance is still behind the HX 370 chip especially when it comes to lower wattages.

@@euariaeu8873 unfortunately, the first claw was so bad I sent it back. 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

@@euariaeu8873 an 80wH battery with this new chip is going to be amazing! It can beat the max Ally X performance at 15-18W

@@charlestannehill7537 the future is looking bright fr

@@BarelyAverageDude as long as the legion go 2 is oled and can run any game 1080p, I'm sold. It looks way more ergonomic in the official leaked pics as well. I'm stoked.

​@@charlestannehill7537 so oled 800p is special?

@@HipHopFanatic-s8y oled 90hz > lcd 120hz. Most would agree. And it's very hard to notice 800p-1080p at such a small size. Hold an oled sd next to an ally(x) in person. The difference is night and day. When I show my sd oled to best buy employees, they say they should be carrying this instead of the ally.

@@theo5675 I feel you. I guess the latest tech ain’t cheap. Everyone that has an F1 pro loves it and I can confirm it is a great device, but the price is hard to justify

@@peter8333 I’m still not sure when the 4090 SGWzone is coming out. But if you’re Okay with waiting it could be worth it

Thanks for the advice. We can wait a few months... ​@@BarelyAverageDude

@@Russiangamerpro2021 the Steam Deck OLED is a more affordable way to get OLED. I agree that the F1 pro is very expensive

@@DJJEFJAMM check my first impressions video; Onexfly is actually very comfortable to hold and play. It looks like if would be too small, but because the way the grip is designed your hand ends up in a good position.

@@BarelyAverageDude wouldn’t your thumb angle be tilted too much and not naturally extended?

@@Liatin1 how much better until you consider upgrading?

@@BarelyAverageDude I think it'd have to be a noticeable jump in fps at the same wattages. Right now, Zen 5 perf difference is measurable but 10-15% difference in fps isn't worth another 800-1000 upgrade. I think I'll have to wait for 40%+. This is from a perspective of already owning a steam deck and rog ally.

@@ThienNguyen-k1m I can definitely see that. F1 pro is the future compared to Ally X, but the future ain't cheap as they say.

@@Ifalvarado possibly. We don't have any confirmed info on Ally 2, but it should definitely be a nice improvement over the X. I'm interested to see if the have OLED and VRR, Because no other device has both right now

U gonna wait a year ?

Appreciate it! What do you want to see next?

@ a whole lot more of the HX 370 content or other handhelds.. maybe tips and tricks on how to fully optimize the device.. anything that relates to this device basically 😀

Both serve different purposes. I say both are worth it

@BarelyAverageDude thanks I'll be buying both in 2025 but can you please compare the Asus Rog ally x to a gaming laptop?

​@@TheBigLClaptop will always win performance and productivity, Ally X wins in portability and efficiency

Sounds like the legion Go 2 rumors with OLED

but there is information that with Oled you can not have VRR. Personnally if i have to choose, i would choose VRR over Oled.

@@namduonghoang2931 you can have OLED and VRR (some laptops and gaming monitors have both), but it’s not cheap and we’ve never seen it on a handheld

​@BarelyAverageDude you would have amoled and vrr phones have it

@@Sonsofanarchyrules678 if you want to go to AMOLED then yeah it’ll definitely be more expensive. It would still have to be a custom display that we’ve never seen before because phones are very mature market as far as a manufacturing standpoint and you couldn’t just take a phone display and put it on a handheld.

How much would you factor OLED into the calculation? For reference; if there was an OLED Ally X, how much more would you pay than the normal Ally X?

@BarelyAverageDude I would say at most $200 more for an oled screen, though I also don't know how much it costs to produce. You're also losing vrr and battery life with the onexfly, so I feel like 1100 would be more reasonable. From what I've heard, AMD is mainly to blame for the Hx 370 price increases

@ yeah I’m with you. These smaller companies are struggling to make reasonable prices with the new chips. Not saying it’s an excuse to pay more, but with lower volumes, it’s hard to get the price down

@@BarelyAverageDude yeah I have to respect Onexplayer for pushing the envelope but man are they are pricey

Bro what ?

@@KD-wc4rs he says its only 40% bigger at 4:00, thats not true

@@Buraak_87 oh ok

Yup the Onex only has a 48.5Wh capacity battery which is ridiculously small. It doesn’t make sense to have all that power in a handheld if it only last 45 minutes on a full charge

@@I3aMb00even at 30w you still get over an hr on the F1 pro (1hr 10mins)

In most situation your not going to be playing that long for me personally I work in my car so I can plug in half the time and at home ofc I got a laptop

Yeah but you need less wattage on the F1 to match the same performance of the Ally. That helps. Then again the F1 is more portable due to smaller size so a compromise had to be made to battery size.

1300 but yeah it’s crazy 😳

and on sale its about 1100 right now! G14 is tiny and nice

Same

true....but the bezel-topic on the ally x was already a thing, even before this comparison. and by looking at the MSI Claw 8 AI + it doesn't seem to get better since the bezels there are also huge. But hey, at least they get less "prominent" to our eyes as the display size seems to grow with the next-gen of handhelds.

I hope we don't go too small. I actually like a steamdeck sized handheld. Like, I have a wii u tablet 😅.

Ally X is actually medium considering all the handheld PCs available right now.

@@X862go steam deck def the most comfortable. Doesn't need a case or.anything it's the perfect design. I love the ally x but as soon as I got it I wanted a grip case to give me more to hold on to. Legion go has a good design too I like the way that one feels

Idk that looks too small are those switch sticks 🤔.

@@X862gosticks are bigger than switch but slightly smaller than Xbox sticks

@@SamuelHarris-f8z the Ayaneo 3 is next level! The interchangeable controller modules look amazing!

I bet with the 15watt you get much better framerates than rog ally x on 30watt.... so that kind of mitigates the battery life

@@Ifalvarado it takes about 18w to beat the Ally at 25/30w but yes the new processor is much more efficient.

Armory crate has gotten crazy good this year.

Sticks look tiny

@@illogik f1 pro sounds great! 👍🏽

1400usd anything is a non device for a handheld. That's full-blown gaming laptop money with a gpu.

@@X862go while i agree it is too expensive. Tell me how you are gonna power your laptop portably with a powerbank. You wont. I will wait ces and see. Maybe ill wait steamdeck 2.
