Posted .Dear MicTech,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the ROG Ally and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing excessive heat generation. It is normal for handheld devices, with the same hardware configuration and regardless of the manufacturer, to generate more heat than normal while under heavy load especially during gaming. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full throttle. To regulate heat generation, ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions to have efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming ensure no resource-hungry applications, services and processes are running in the background, this will spike the temperature. You can check go to Task Manager to check how high system resource utilization is being used. The heat or temperature does decrease or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down. Additionally, update Windows, drivers, BIOS and the Armoury Crate utility software if outdated. Updates for the device are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/us/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/helpdesk_bios/. Configure your system, game, video and operating mode settings inside the latest version of the Armoury Crate utility software posted at: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/ . If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "My ASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the laptop, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.
If you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

Dad gaming
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing gaming portable. Great form factor and smaller than steam deck and legion go.
I would recommend this to a friend It’s AMAZING… but with a small caveat.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I could give it a 5, but there are some frustrating things that come with dealing with windows on such a tiny screen. To get the FULLY potential from this (such as enhancing games via emulation that you own*), you need a mouse/keyboard and dock. Outside of a couple of other frustrating windows things, this handheld is much better than Steam Deck in my opinion, and I do not regret selling my old one.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Software
