Yet another one of these PC gaming handhelds without any trackpads. I will not even THINK of buying one without trackpads.

Lmao Asus is sponsoring so many youtubers

A lot of people don't mention the 2280 SSD form factor change in the showcase for the Ally X, which would support up to 8TB drives and drives tend to come cheaper in that more standard form factor and in a wide variety of speed tiers. To me besides the bigger RAM and battery, the 2280 SSD form factor change is a huge plus as well. No need for 3D printed mods to fit a 2280 like you can on the Legion Go. As for a mid-life upgrade or sequel to the Legion Go. It has to keep all the uniqueness & options of the original Legion Go, but change the SSD size from 2242 to 2280 (support Gen 4 as well), bigger RAM either 24GBs like the Ally X or go one step further and just do 32GBs of RAM, and 80+ battery like the Ally X.... I'll pretty sold with those upgrades while keeping everything else the same. For extras: Change Z1 Extreme chip for a more standard 7840U or 8840U equivalent so we don't have to deal with this extreme wait times on OEM drivers... let us get the regular AMD drivers from a regular AMD adrenaline app or from Legion Space if people don't want to interact with AMD adrenaline... but makes them available as soon as any other 7840U/8840U chip gets it in other platforms/form factors of any other PC. If they want to go the extra mile, change the screen to a 16:9 Native Landscape panel to avoid the finickiness of Portrait panels with some apps/games... if not... well... it's a PC, it can be mitigated with Software and some tweaking... but at least that's fixable through software. What's under the hood is priority, and improve the speakers & maybe add an extra USB4 next to the other top one like the Ally X, while keeping the bottom one = making it 3 USB4 ports. They would come out later with it... so it gives me hope that they have the timing advantage to 1-up the Ally X (basically copy their last homework and use the Ally X as a blueprint to further improve on the original Legion Go) further and even undercut in cost with more hardware features. I for one on the change to USB4 eGPUs, is that it's your more versatile can use the ports for other stuff... universal compatibility if most of other devices use the same and forward compatibility for an eventual leap in USB bandwidth and speeds later on with some of a USB5 tech... where it would a very inexpensive upgrade to just change the GPU docking station/enclosure... or the cable & USB output module of the enclosure/dock already supports higher bandwidth then it is just plug and play on a future device that can take higher bandwidth inputs.

Fat32 or exfat?

Is it easy to add games and roms?

Thank you for a fantastic and honest review. This is one of the best reviews I have found with actually useful information instead of reading marketing materials. Too bad the RAM is soldered but I think I'll still buy one. I love the phunny shirt and also all the retro gaming consoles. It makes me wish I had kept mine!

Why do we all have Ruby in our SP’s? lol

The best way to describe the quality of an AR Glasses' image is by horizontal pixels per degree (PPD). This is usually a metric used for VR glasses, but this can be calculated for any display, including traditional monitors. For example, a 32in 2160p screen at 100% scaling and placed 2 feet away from your eyes has a PPD of 64. A 24in 1080p screen placed 2 feet away has a PPD of 41. The Viture Pro has a PPD of 49, which is the same as a 27in 1440p monitor placed 2 feet away. These glasses have a resolution and refresh rate quality equal to mid-tier gaming monitors.

I hope you can bring some insight of the new MSI Claw 8 AI+ and if that one will solve the many flaws of this one , also release date , price , etc , so we can know if it will be an alternative to the Ally X (if the price is around the 800)

You’re saying a device being sent to you isn’t payment because it takes you two weeks to do the video and it isn’t worth your time. That isn’t entirely honest. Your channel depends on reviewing these devices. Acting as if receiving early access to a device to review isn’t beneficial is dishonest. The alternative would be for you to wait for release, purchase the device yourself and then review it which would put you behind other channels. Don’t downplay it.

What I dont like about these PC handhelds is how similar they are to the ally. Like the button placement and small details are almost mirroring the ally. It makes me think these companies have zero ideas of their own.

Does anyone know what's the name of the fighting game at 5:14 and the Metal Slug version at 7:20?

Didn't you save power while using the glasses instead because you can turn of the screen on the steam deck and ROG ally?

I could see the support two pairs of glasses useful for almost like a mini "home theater" for two people to watch movies etc on a huge screen. Especially if it works such that the screen is in the same place for both people.

It's upsetting to hear you have been burnt by sponsors. I love your content. Very informative and cohesive. Keep up the good work.

Does the "mirrors" inside the glasses make them differ from looking through normal glasses? Like are you supposed to look through it or can you just look anywhere on the lens?

What the phawx is that thing.

Purple!!!

OCULINK my dude wooooohoo now if only the price point wouldn't be absolutely ridiculous.

Is it an android based handheld or pc handheld?

wow

Came here for the intro, stayed for the content!

The brand new rog ally x has 2 of those ports so that does fix that one problem you mentioned

Finally someone mentioning the warranty situation when talking about an ASUS product. Finally

バッテリーが1番大きいの面白い

Music reminds me of True Believer. Proper 80s xD

MSI Claw+ AI something or another and XANAX..sorry ZOTAC Zone announced too

It's the Breath of the Wild Phablet 9000!!!

I wonder if they’ll make an X elite handheld

Interesting, i dont mind the colors too much. Definitely loud tho

horrible form factor

When can we expect Windows “Handheld mode”?

Phawx can you test the GPD G1 egpu performance on the 2023 min wini vs the 2024 version? It'll help me decide which one to get I'd appreciate it

The reason why this is great is because its yet another option for us handheld PC gamers. Glad to see it.

I think the design gimmick is actually pretty cool. Especially if you don't have a dock to use for whatever reason. Maybe they should expand on it further.

I feel like the sliding screen is wasted potential; they could have dropped a keyboard under there!

I actually don’t mind the colors, but the plastics look particularly cheap from the outside.

These companies need to stop trying to make unique handhelds and instead try to perfect a simple design.

another fail. screens need to be the same size

People shitting on the whole thing just cause of the colours 🥱

Adata is going to make actual devices now? They do the best cheap msd's, USB drives and portable HDD's. But that is all I knew them as. But I have used their stuff for over a decade

Obnoxious.

Things that kept me away from the RoG Ally: - Proprietary eGPU solution. fixed - White Color. fixed - Abysmal battery. fixed - Card reader failing. fixed - LCD Display, still there. All other improvements are nice to haves on the X including the faster RAM and 2280 but not Game changers like the above for me. Sadly they are a little too late as i already got the Deck OLED and enjoying everything it has to offer, but glad Asus listened and improved where needs improvement

Dislike the colors but the screen being able to be at an angle like that is genius making it so that your wrists will rest when playing on a table while the screen is pointing at you still

Trust is indeed a currency and I for one, trust you. Your reviews are always detailed and trustworthy. You don't always go "this is the best device I've ever tested". Point out the flaws and tell your audience, you wouldn't recommend this because of such and such issues. Thank you for that.

Hi, how does it work on steam link? I’ve tried multiple android devices but it works way smoother on iOS, I’m really curious 🥲

Dang, I like the X1 design but this is crazy lol. @ThePhawx I know you didn't like the Intel x1, think you'll be more interested in the mini with the 8840u? I'm looking at the. Canceled my x1 Intel order on indiegogo a while back

Love oled, but i want a bigger display!

They need a simple lcd layer on the glasses to selectively block out areas where the glasses are projecting displays to make that usage meaningful to me.

Goofy ahhh device 💀💀💀
