Asus ROG Ally 6 Months Later: Better Than Steam Deck OLED?!

The Asus ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) might very well be the best gaming handheld in 2023. After 6 months, software has gotten better, and the overall performance has gotten more stable. I love the 7-inch 120Hz VRR display, I love the Armoury Crate software, and everything the Ally just feels so polished. The only downside is that the battery isn't the best, the microSD slot tends to fry cards which I don't think will get fixed until a proper redesign happens, and the joysticks aren't Hall Effect joysticks to prevent stick drifts. Besides that, gaming on the ROG Ally is pretty much perfect.

My recommended power settings for the ROG Ally:

TDP: 15W
CPU Boost: Turned On
Battery Power Mode: Efficiency

Games should be set at 900P at low-medium settings if you want constant 60 frames per second. Some games tend to play better at 25W but battery will drain a lot quicker.
