I Own The ASUS ROG Ally, But I Am Tempted To BUY!
Переглядів 624Рік тому
I never cared much about steam, So it was easy for me to pick the ROG Ally over the steam deck. But now with the new OLED version, I've started to come around to what valve is doing. I think they have a master plan with the steam deck. But regardless of all that, the specs alone are very impressive like genuinely a massive improvement! It still can't replace the ROG ally for me since it's my co...

Enjoy Your rog Ally in the dark with FLUX!
Переглядів 80Рік тому
If you want to play your rog ally in the dark, then you will want to lower the screen's brightness below the 0 brightness that asus gives you. So you can use an app called flux which allows you to not only have a blue light filter, but also just dim down the screen. So you can enjoy your rog ally in the dark with negative brightness.
This is the BEST controller for your phone!

This is the Dell Latitude 7390, It can be found on ebay for around $200, and it destroys most new laptops under $400 dollars!

That little security lock was made so that if you use it in your job or take it to a college you can secure it to a desk you buy a special lock and the only way to remove it is for you to know the code for the lock so they can't remove it from your desk .

I believe for portability, good battery life ( planning to do Linux + Undervolt ) and light weight ( 1,1~1,2kg ), is the perfect match for my needs. The worst thing about it is the only one slot for ram upgrade. Losing dual channel is a big hit.

Having to put everything too low and still set resolution to like 900p just to still get only 30-35 fps is hard for me

      No, this doesn't damage it in any way. It's just like using a low power charger, takes longer to charge the rog ally but it won't hurt it. however, the powerbank might be running at max power from 100% to 0% so the power bank is in a little bit of pain......but power banks are just big batteries, and they can take a lot of abuse, plus they are cheap. I've had no issues, and technically speaking this shouldn't cause any issues at all, even the power bank should be good long term.

Have a PC for any more demanding games, so this thing should be great for emulation, indie and more casual games. Can't wait for it to arrive. Happy to see it can also handle diablo 4,intought it would struggle with it. I plan on using lossless scaling program from steam for fsr and frame gen, plan to heavily debloat windows and do any optimisation I can think of, so really should be good. Just wonder how deep rock galactic survivor runs on it.
