how it's _not_ great to *see* that they not only release an unfinished product, they lied and lied the entire way through it. How are they so far off from the real 7850U handhelds after so much time? Scamming, lying thieves is what they are!

Big props for the Asus ROG crew for following up and supporting this handheld so much and interacting with the community like this so openly. And for seriously and quickly acknowledging bugs and issues that have arisen both prelaunch and post launch. Quick question, and it’s probably a no, but is there currently any way to get Armory Crate SE to remember your sorting selection and just go back to the last selected sorting when you reboot? Needing to keep changing the sorting every time is kinda tedious.

yeah, something they should have done _before_ they started asking for people's money, and _before_ they release it. They had multiple chances, and a whole lot of time. They have 2 weeks before just about everyone I personally know returns theirs to Best Buy - and I know a *ton* of people in my group who got it and feels the same; as it is, it's a piece of garbage, plain and simple.

I know we can change the binding of abxy buttons for game,but we can't change which button to be used for confirmation in armourt crate. So whenever i need to make changes in armoury Crete, i will find myself clicking the cancel button for confirmation.

I did find this new device a bit challenging in setting up in some areas. I don’t even know how to save the progress of my installed game yet because it’s so different to a Switch.

Great work! Couple of notes, I’m seeing Diablo IV guides all over. I’m also seeing that 319 is causing issues. I found that windows set the performance to balanced instead of full on performance in the power settings after 319. I wonder if that solves some issues. Regarding DIV, I’ve got it running perfectly

@timtot1990 Жыл бұрын

I've had a couple of hiccups with mine, but so far, it's almost what I expected! I knew it was a portable PC, but I thought there'd be more of a focus on it being a gaming handheld that can be a PC and not a PC trying to be a gaming handheld. I definitely do not regret my purchase and I'm excited to be part of it! I started a tech channel because I wanted a Steam Deck, but I'm so happy with my Ally! I would still like a Steam Deck, but the Ally is worth every penny ❤

Didn't want the 4090, so I picked up the 3080 XG. Only thing is I wish the cable was longer as I will be using it on my deployment without an external monitor. I can manage in my rack but either an extender or new ones with a longer PCIE/USBC cable would be great. Otherwise loving the Ally. Going to be the only thing that keeps me sane for the next couple months.

18:40 there are some bugs in the manual mode profile. I created 3 different manual profiles which are 25W, 20W and 15W, each has all the power settings set at the same value. If I switch from 25W to 20W or 15W, many times the lower power profiles would have one or two power settings remain at the higher settings rather than my set value.

Will there ever be an option to access multiple "manual" operating modes via the command center tab? Due to the current bug where it shows 15W, I am uncertain if this is an available feature. If not, then I think it would be a great inclusion! Loving the device so far and I am excited for the bios fix so I can get better frames in diablo 4.

I’d like to see the Command Centre be a mappable button please! Can’t access it via an external controller. Also I’d like the mouse to become available when an annoying dialog window pops up on some games asking if I’d like to start in safe mode or adjust settings so I can dismiss it without undocking please. Or make it dismissible via the controller when docked. If the community has any ideas on how I can fix all this myself other than “just get up and press the button” I’d appreciate it please.
