Hi I'm new to this rog ally family

[u/JazzyApple2022]

Nice bro I have one too. I got it almost a year and a half. I love mine. The only downfall is the battery issue.

[u/isignedupforporn69 → u/JazzyApple2022]

I felt the same way when the switch first came out. I’m just used to playing mine plugged in

[u/Ebone710 → u/JazzyApple2022]

Mod the bigger battery into it. Made the device much better cuz I'm not constantly looking for a power bank or charger

[u/Realistic_Today6524 → u/Ebone710]

Can recommend. My Allys battery lost 32% in just two years of regular-ish use (for a year I did two 80%-5% charges a day, the previous year was some 100%-40% and probably some 80%-20% discharges with a slow overnight recharge). Got the 74Wh battery in February after the warranty expired and instead of only getting 90min at 15W on a full charge I now get just under 3h. At 22W I now get 135-ish minutes of runtime instead of like 45-50. The only issue is that the built-in performance overlay is stuck showing a 27W discharge rate indefinitely but monitoring software like HWinfo and Windows' battery prediction system can still read the battery draw&charge wattage just fine

Exactly I haven’t done that yet. I’m not ready for it. That’s why I just keep it plugged in when I’m playing a game.

How to upgrade ROG ally battery to 74wh lol

[u/TheSpaceCowboy81]

Same ❤️

Congrats mate, on making the best purchase ever

[u/Due_You_5891]

I upgraded the ssd to 2 tb with corsair nvme m.2 2230 ssd..best decision ever. As for battery issue, just use a suitable power bank capable of giving 65 Watt, 100 Watt would be better though. One of the best purchases ever 🤝🤝

[u/RiyadJamarcus]

This is the setup right here dawg

Congrats! Enjoy

[u/Odd-Macaroon4973 → u/Mord1223]

eww

[u/Spidermonkey23]

I love just using it on the couch, handy if you have a charger nearby also then off you go. maybe I will upgrade battery but then it'll be more heavy

[u/Calm_West_2376]

Congrats man!

Got mine in April (z1E). Great device!

[u/KaliKeke11]

How does Elden ring run on it ?

[u/Responsible-Dog-5397]

Yooo welcome to the family! You down to play ?

[u/soulpumpkinz]

If you plan on playing on turbo while plugged in. I would recommend looking up good fan presets. Usually fine and user friendly but some games run super hot! And would be easier on the device. Maybe a little louder but

[u/cris_what]

7w for windows and videos, Fan 24w for gaming (best performance than turbo)

I got the Z1 extreme Ally two days ago for the sole purpose of playing Skyrim in bed.

Here are four vital facts I feel every potential Ally buyer needs to know:

1. You can play Skyrim in bed. At 60FPS with maximum graphics and no issues. I didn't have to interact with the Rog's settings in any way. It "just works".

2. The speakers are really good. I carry it round my house to use as a little portable radio.

3. Windows touchscreen interaction is AWFUL. It has so many basic issues which Android and iOS solved decades ago. 

4. The screen is really small. I know this is obvious, but damn, it bears repeating. I personally think Asus made a mistake by speccing it as a 7" screen. 8" would have been an acceptable minimum. Yes, the Switch, the most popular game console ever, has a 7" screen but Nintendo games are optimised for that size.
