So... Anyone got it? I'm mad tempted but the Ally is starting to go on sale and can be had for around $250-300 cad less.

I have it and quickly sold my Ally. I love it. The screen is what does it for me.

Massive leap going from 7' to 8,8' no doubt. Are there any other major differences you felt mattered? For instance the controllers, the d-pad, fan noise and battery length? Do you miss VRR?

I have discarded the ally from consideration.. its either this or an OLED deck for considerably less money now.

I don't notice VRR so I'm not one to ask


software sucks - however they released a patch today and its better and sleeker. Still a long ways to go
I actually found my Ally louder
On my ally i was getting low battery alerts at about 50 minutes. The Go i can get about 1.5-2 hours depending on settings. Max settings about an hour.
I actually do find myself playing table top with the controllers detached quite a bit if I am playing online games with the boys on Series X or PS5, the controllers are a little finnicky though sometimes they will disconnect and you cant wake the system up with them so you have to completely reconnect them and they aren't as easy as switch Joycons.
I also found setup a little harder on this. The ally had two programs that kept everything up to date for you. This one I learned about a BIOS update on reddit and had to go to the site to dowload it. Legion space seems to update itself automatically. I think that will also be patched to be an easier experience.

I saw a video with someone using the gyros on only the right controller… if it can be used as a mouse .. purchase redeemed

Starting to love mine… once I got over the incompatibility of some games it’s a really amazing device… tablet mode is *chefs kiss*

I have a tablet mount in my car.. I played a bunch today on my lunch breaks

Probly won’t use handheld mode much.. except on the couch..kind of heavy to use..

Most smaller panels like this are made with phones and tablets in mind, hence being native portrait. I have no idea where Asus sourced their panel for the ROG Ally that is landscape native because those are unicorns. These are tiny niche devices so it's hard to imagine anybody specifically making landscape native panels just for these handhelds unfortunately.
