ROG Ally: The Ultimate Gaming Handheld for On-the-Go Players

Ally please don’t mispronounce

This month, I happily played tabletop games with ROG Ally. How lucky I am, technology has really developed to the point where “masterpiece games can be played everywhere”!E-sports handhelds are not new, but if you were looking for a PC handheld before, there were brands you hadn’t heard of everywhere. It should be said that they are not so well-known. Now there is a serious e-sports manufacturer jumping down As a PC handheld, I chose to scare everyone on April Fool’s Day. After waking up, the dream came true, and the ROG Ally gaming handheld is in your hand.

Satsuma uses ten questions to show you about the ROG Ally gaming handheld. I know that many people are happy to play at home after buying it for the first time. You can just chat or help others answer the questions, and I will also tell you how Ally reads. , it’s probably not the same as you think, hahaha

This time, the official purchase discount will be mentioned first, for fear of delaying everyone’s shopping cart, if you buy ROG Ally e-sports handheld before 7/31, you will get a 3-month PC Game Pass serial number when you log in, and ROG passport members will get 6 more months. Enjoy 1-year Game Pass, and enjoy a limited offer of ROG headphones with an additional purchase of 65% off!

Question 1: How to pronounce ROG Ally?

May I ask if you read the text and read the voice in your heart? If so, how did you pronounce Ally before? When listening to foreign news about alliances or friendly countries, I often hear “Ah ~ Lai”, that’s right, it’s the word, it doesn’t look like it at all, but it’s it, that’s how it is pronounced!Please stop pronouncing it as “A Li” or “A Lai”.

Question 2: Why did ROG launch an e-sports handheld

Yes, why?In fact, I think the most likely idea is “let’s make something new”. Gaming notebooks are too mature, and ROG Phone has reached the seventh generation. The accumulated R&D and innovation energy needs an outlet. The ROG gaming notebook team After 5 years of hard work in research and development, it has thrown a shock bomb in the rising PC game handheld market. I guess ROG should be holding the mood of “I can do better” to make new toys. ROG Ally has been working since April. There is indeed a lot of discussion. Anyone who goes to Computex will touch it when they see it, and the rate of returning to play on the side of the road is very high.

Question 3: What games can ROG Ally play?

As a rising star, ROG Ally does do better. It uses the Windows 11 operating system, which is as simple as your daily gaming laptop or desktop. Since it is a Windows handheld, it means that as a gamer, you must The beggar Superman I took, can finally store all the game platforms on one handheld! From Xbox Game Pass, Steam, Epic Games, EA Play, Ubisoft Connect to Battle.Net, Ally can play whatever you play on your computer, log in to the game account, and seamlessly connect!

And its slogan is very cute this time, called “#走来GAME at any time”. It focuses on three major game experience scenarios: Me Time, We Time, and Pro Time can all be played. Me Time is best understood, that is, you hold the ROG Ally gaming palm Play in the corner with the mobile phone; We Time means that it can connect the ROG gaming all-in-one charger to the TV screen, and play with up to 4 handsets connected to Bluetooth. When you’re ready you can joe a chair over to the desk and play together

Pro Time is to go home, plug in the ROG XG Mobile external graphics card, connect the screen, keyboard, and mouse, and enjoy the top PC gaming experience Pro Time. Yes, ROG Ally has an XG Mobile connection hole that can be upgraded to The GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is ridiculous. The custom port that originally appeared on the ROG Flow series of gaming notebooks appears on the ROG Ally gaming handheld!

I first installed Steam quickly and started playing “Overcooked” and “Moving Out”. Later, I was dissuaded (?, I wanted to say what I was doing with this e-sports handheld! Playing some small games, and then I downloaded “Hogwarts Inheritance” Playing with “Forza Horizon 5”, and later downloading “DmC: Devil May Cry” to get nostalgic, these almost used up the storage space of 512GB, if you want to reinstall, there is also a UHS-II Micro SD card reader slot It can be expanded, but the game running in the card is not as smooth as the local machine. It is recommended to play the masterpiece on the local SSD. In fact, what you play on the desktop is really what you play on the Ally, like using a small portable Like e-sports laptops, “#从时来GAME” is not just talk!

Question 4: Is ROG Ally easy to play games?

Let’s talk about performance first and then feel. In terms of performance, let’s talk about the games mentioned earlier, such as “Overcooked” and “Moving Out”. The 3A game “Hogwarts Inheritance” can be played at 35 FPS in 1080P ultra-high quality and FSR off. If you connect an external graphics card, it can reach 97 FPS!

Its processor is AMD Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme. You may want to say “Who?” In short, it is roughly equivalent to Ryzen 7 7840U. In terms of running CPU part, Geekbench 6 is 1 times stronger than Steam Deck in single-core and 1.6 times stronger in multi-core. times, the CPU is equipped with a 12-core RDNA™ 3 display chip, and scored 3281 points in the Heaven Benchmark, which is 83% more than Steam Deck. Sure enough, the resources of the rising star are more in place.

And this touch screen, what’s going on, resolution 1080P FHD, refresh rate 120Hz, 7ms response time plus AMD’s FreeSync™ Premium technology, these common e-sports specifications appear in the gaming handheld world, but it’s super rare, with ROG Ally seems to have very detailed and clear picture quality. I’m used to watching 4K 120Hz refresh rate on my mobile phone, but even playing “Overcooked” with Ally feels very detailed, probably because it’s very close to the eyes and The panel is good, you can go to the store to see the most accurate, this is the picture of direct sunlight at noon

Question 5: How big and heavy is ROG Ally?

Let’s talk about the feel, no matter which girl gets it for the first time, she must be “wow, such a big platform”, but the position of the buttons is much more friendly than that of Steam Deck! The standard posture I developed this week is:

The actual weight is 613.8 grams, and the official data is 608 grams within the error range. You can play it on your knees for a longer time. I always play like this on the sofa at home. Changing postures to lie down is also comfortable to play

Because I have small hands, I felt that the buttons were a bit far away at first, but I quickly felt comfortable playing action games such as “DmC: Devil May Cry”. Playing “Overcooked” in single player mode is very difficult to operate. The movements must be fast and accurate in seconds; even my left thumb is very used to pressing the control center button > display desktop, and I can press it!Little short hands, ROG said that they took great pains to create the most ergonomic angle, and concentrated the buttons so that 90% of the thumbs can be pressed, and my mini hands can feel it too.

Question 6: Is ROG Ally only white?

Yes, there is only white and moonlight white at present. Let me show you the details. It should be worried that the player’s hand will increase the friction. The grip on both sides is very fine. in

There are textures covering the entire palm of the back, and the obliquely cut neon reflective strips in the middle look great!

It needs you to take good care of it and clean it deeply. According to my recent use and arrangement, small dirt on the surface can be wiped off directly with an eraser. If there is sweat on the hand, wipe it with a wet paper towel, and use a card return needle to remove small gaps. , there is a place that is super beautiful but needs to be tidied up, that is, the two sides of the palm

With ROG’s shiny reflective design, the angle here is relatively small. I used a cotton swab to snort. Do you feel that I am holding it in the palm of my hand?I have requirements on the cleanliness of my belongings, you can send them directly to the wrapper

The size is 28 x 11.1 x 2.12-3.24 cm. You can compare it a little. The buttons are fully compatible with XBOX. I even think the ABXY keys are smooth and easy to press. The sensitivity of LT/RT and mushroom heads can be adjusted

There is also a custom M1/M2 at the back. As an aside, the neon reflective strips are so shiny indoors, and the effect is comparable to light strips.

There is an on/off button for fingerprint recognition on the top. You heard it right. With fingerprint recognition, you can log in in one second without worrying about the game progress or class gold treasures being stolen. It is considerate, and the recognition is very good and fast.

Then come the volume keys, graphics card port (with a Type-C inside), UHS-II microSD card reader slot and 3.5mm headphone jack

In particular, this ROG Armory Crate button, yes, it is the game control center button, enter the game on all platforms, lighting effects, performance, what to display in the control center, etc., all can be viewed here

Question 7: Is the heat dissipation of ROG Ally good?

Because I often play mobile games, the ROG Ally e-sports handheld feels amazing to play, what about the wind?Why doesn’t it feel like it’s trying to dissipate heat? It turns out that the wind is blowing upwards. The official said that the main focus of this heat dissipation is “360-degree full-angle play”, so you won’t be blown by the hot air in various postures.

The heat dissipation technology that has been updated year after year since it was used in the 100,000 aircraft carrier gaming notebooks is used here. The zero-gravity heat dissipation design plus the anti-gravity heat dissipation pipe, the heat dissipation fins are also as thin as 0.1 mm, and the density is enhanced. 60 minutes of “Tomb Raider: Shadow” The hands are still at room temperature, the highest temperature is 36.1 above the front screen, and the two rear cooling holes are also places where the temperature is higher

In short, the games I play don’t get hot in my hand, and I can’t hear the sound of the fan. The only time I feel hot is when I go out in midsummer at this moment, and the sun shines directly on ROG Ally to feel the body warm up. In an air-conditioned room, it’s basically don’t feel hot

Question 7: What accessories does ROG Ally have?

ROG Ally comes standard with a 65W charging head. It only takes 30 minutes to charge from 0% to 50%, but it takes 90 minutes for the trickle to be full. Put it on for dinner and take a shower to charge it. After taking a shower, you can continue to play. If you run out of battery, take it to the company to recharge the next day. Your ideal life is GET!

Other peripherals are optional. I strongly recommend that you choose the ROG Ally travel protective case. You can’t buy it if you don’t buy it. If you want to take the baby handheld with you, you need to protect the mushroom head. Having an exclusive protective case will make the rocker last longer. I see that all the people around me who pre-ordered ROG Ally bought a travel case, all of them, I thought it was a bonus at first, and I wanted to say how beautiful and advanced it is!It turned out to be money, reasonable, this should be spent

The words on the circle on the side look nice

It can also be set up and played on the desktop with the handheld in its mouth, which is excellent

In addition, it can be matched with a joystick, headphones, and of course the ROG XG Mobile external graphics card. The joystick is a ROG Raikiri Pro PC controller. Of course, it can also support other game handles you have at home.

Headphones are divided into in-ear type and earmuff type, and the in-ear type is ROG Cetra True Wireless wireless wireless competition headset

The earmuff type is ROG Delta S Wireless. I am ashamed to say that my voice is released directly. I use ROG Ally gaming handheld!I want the whole world to know (shout out, the honeymoon period, it’s only about 6 in a small voice (full of 100) will not disturb others, I have a sense of public morality

Originally, this external graphics card was for you to strengthen thin and light reversible gaming notebooks like the ROG Flow series, but connecting ROG Ally gaming handheld is like flying. When you get home, connect Ally to the ROG XG Mobile external graphics card, and the screen and keyboard slide Mouse, it is an gaming desktop machine, please start your work, and then you can continue to play 3A masterpieces, the special effects are fully activated, and you will be afraid

Question 9: Can ROG Ally only play games?

As mentioned earlier, if you build Pro Time and connect it with ROG XG Mobile external graphics card and screen to turn it into a gaming desktop, you can do what Windows 11 computers can do. It’s a PC computer, you can follow dramas, documents, and do presentations. I downloaded all the PRs and then opened Netflix to watch dramas hahahaha

Question 10: How much is ROG Ally?

How much do you think it should sell for?It has a 7-inch FHD gaming screen, 120Hz refresh rate, 7ms response time, maximum brightness of 500 nits, Windows 11 Home operating system, AMD Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor and AMD RDNA™ 3 graphics chip, 16GB LPDDR5 memory and 512GB SSD, the official weight is 608 grams

If you look at these specifications with a laptop or a mobile phone, do you feel that you can’t get away with 20,000 to 30,000? It’s officially on sale, but it’s still up for grabs

I don’t seem to have mentioned this lovely STAND in the box

The paper-plastic bracket, with ROG written on it, usually puts Ally up like this, such a smart, cute and environmentally friendly design!
