    Lifetime console gamer, bought a PS5 and only played ps4 games on it... - Returnal, after 6 months of dust I sold it, bought a 64GB LCD Steamdeck having not a one PC game. Fell in love with it so quickly and now buy everything on Steam (like a forever purchase) Bought a SD OLED right away, and I barely play my switch now. Xbox only gets played by my son for racing games with a wheel. I recently bought a Ally X to play Starfield on gamepass and in 2 days later I realized it had replaced my Steamdeck entirely. Never seen that coming and two weeks later its all I play, and I will never own another strictly TV based system. The Switch has the IPs that no else gets and the Ally X has everything else, I even sold my retro handhelds and collections. Making thousands of dollars, it has paid for the Ally X 5 times over. So happy.

    The same people who are asking for a Xbox handheld are people with steam decks. I find that odd. So many in this handheld space, don’t want to give ASUS and the Ally any props, but when asked about their definitive handheld, they basically describe a RoG Ally

    Selling my LCD steam deck to buy an ally x, with the intention of dual booting windows and bazzite.
    Windows for gamepass games, bazzite for every other game since the sleep/quick resume on Linux is so superior. Microsoft should really prioritize creating an OS specifically for handhelds, something that looks and feels more like steam OS or Xbox, as opposed to a Windows laptop crammed into a 7 inch screen.
    Hanging onto my PS5 because I'm unlikely to upgrade to the PS5 pro but still want access to PS exclusives that may be coming.

Do you think rog ally x can truly replace a ps5, or is it better to wait for the next gen in handheld? (Trying to work out if it’s bette r for me to return the deck and bump up to X, or keep the deck until next gen of handhelds come out )

    Hi, I have a question for you regarding Rog Ally vs Rog Ally X. I am considering selling my desktop PC and getting into handheld and I am convinced to get Asus. Main reason I wanna sell my PC is because I work on computers so after working all day, I can't sit on my desk anymore. I also don't want console because I don't wanna hijack the TV and let my partner use it and sit on the couch and play.
    The main question mark I have if I should actually go for Rog Ally instead of X. The reasoning being, first it is cheaper. Second, Oculus Link seems to be more compatible choice for eGPU in terms of older games compatibility (I heard for example Horizon Forbidden West stutters on USB4.)
    On the other hand, X has faster and bigger memory and more compatible m.2 slot and bigger battery and better ergonomics + they improved the controllers if i am not mistaken.
    In germany, X is 900 euro. Second hand Ally's go for 450 (in very good question.). My question is, do you think the game developers will catch up with USB4 based eGPU docks and the memory upgrade is a huge deal?

    • @128kbpodcast
      @128kbpodcast  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a really difficult one to be definitive for you. I think really the biggest factor is budget. If you can stretch to the higher budget, then the upgrades on the X entirely make it worthy. If you can't then the original Ally is fine, although a little lacking.
      The upgraded memory makes a huge difference, and isn't spoken about enough as being such a big benefit, but it really is.
      I can't speak of eGPU as we've not tested any yet. But whilst playing handheld I've not experienced any game that has needed it. Everything we have thrown at the Ally X so far has worked without issue. It is honestly incredibley capable. To the point in which Andy has sold his Razer Blade laptop for this.
      So really I can't recommend the Ally X highly enough, but I will say the price is a stumbling block for sure. But considering everything you get I see it more of a Gaming Laptop alternative than anything else. And then the price makes a lot more sense.

    In regards to Microsoft just licensing the Xbox name to Asus, I think they should. That'll allow Xbox to just focus on the next gen equivalent of the series x and just drop this whole series s thing. Plus the Asus will, as yous said, bring name recognition. Microsoft also licensing the Xbox OS to Asus also means less bloat so it'll be easier for people like me and AJ to get into.

If a handheld costs Xbox £500 to make I don't see them dropping the price to lower than £300 and I don't think your average consumer is willing to pay more than £300 for a handheld and then £500-£600 for a console
