My um733 with Radeon 680M time spy gpu is 1969 which seems to be underperforming according to below article benchmarks.

If I don't include demo on benchmark aka shorter run um733 timespy score
2700
9744 CPU 7735HS
2390 GPU 680M
Beware 780m benchmark is most likely a short run and prolonged use will be a lower score.
Still a powerful compact system with decent cooling / throttling performance.

Different use cases.

Windows 11 won't even let you get through installation without access to wifi.
They are $14 for a Windows 11 Pro license on digital chill mart (discount code ZachDiscord or w/e else the bee extension gives ya).
also can this support 2 nvme hard drive OR 2 nvme hard drive w/ sata harddrive?
Except for the barebones version, all versions come with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The barebones version does not include RAM and SSD; therefore, it does not have pre-installed Windows 11 Pro.
9. How do I install Windows OS for the barebones version?
Please click the link to our support page below to download Windows 11.
Note: Minisforum does not offer keys for the Windows OS.

The ROG ALLY can be docked but because by nature it is a handheld, it is limited by its 30ish wattage. This UM790 PRO is a SFF PC therefore can be pushed further to 65ish wattage in which case more power. Lets also not forget the AI engine that it is equipped with.
That being said, because both APU devices are equipped with an 780m IGPU, I think both will offer similar results when it comes to gaming. As for productivity, the UM790 PRO might have a slight edge. We'll just have to wait for more benchmarks to see.
The ALLY is $699 with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD 2230 M.2(pricier to upgrade compared to 2280 m.2). This UM790 is $519 barebone but can be upgraded to 16GB RAM($80) and 512GB SSD 2280 m.2($50) for no more than $130 making this $639(might even be cheaper if there are better deals out there). But in all honesty, I would rather have 32GB RAM Crucial($103 Amazon) and 2TB SSD Crucial P3 plus($104 Amazon) for $207 plus $519 UM790 for a grand total of $726(more or less depends on your config).
Different strokes for different folks, by the end of the day it's really up to your use cases. But if you ask me, if you game 70% and work 30% get the ROG ALLY(btw, 512GB isn't big enough for games nowadays) but if productivity is 60% and gaming is 40% is your thing then by all means this deal is hard to pass up. These SFF PC can literally be mounted to the back of your monitor.
