||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as a combination of a portable work station and gaming system. The idea of a full Windows installation alongside cutting edge portable gaming features made it too good to pass up. It was cheaper than a laptop and I don't actually need much more than the RAM and OS for my workstation aspects. Unfortunately, the gaming half fell short. After performing a lot of setup and installing my first game, I was greeted by what sounded like blown speakers. WHOA THERE! Don't click reply yet. I turned the performance up to 15W and there was some improvement until I got into the action. DROP THE MOUSE! I also disabled spacial audio. I was finally able to play a game with audio... until I reached an area with higher pitched music. I thought I was just imaging it, but the crackle returned. I read where someone said that if you notice more crackle at 16Hz, it may be a speaker issue. As luck would have it, that is exactly the setting for the test sound in Windows. It was crystal clear. It's unlikely the speakers are actually blown out of the box, but I can't help wondering if the crackle is eventually going to damage them and how much I really want a gaming device where gaming is the issue.

I would recommend this to a friend Powerful handheld computer
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it with the intention of having an equipment that could replace a gaming laptop and at the same time play in the go some times. You could even technically replace a desktop computer if you buy a XG mobile. I replaced my steam deck by the Ally, since I dint want to have to make tweaks to play games, but of you are a console player used to the plug and play experience, maybe this is not for you. Remember, this is a handheld computer with Windows. The Asus interface installed in it works but it is not perfect and SD reader may be a problem. So long story short, it depends on your use case.

Beast of a handheld
