Asus has terrible quality control. I have returned 2 of these so far, purchased brand new. Left stick went bad after about a week, the 2nd one had a bad track pad. Oh.. and microSD card also got fried, which Asus really doesn't have a fix for.

"Track Pad"? There isn't one on the Ally. Try again.

Remember a lot of people are steam zealots and not video game fans. They lie to overinflate the value of Valve for reasons I don't understand.

Might be referring to d pad, or the analog stick

So I got an excellent was in pretty good lotta fingerprints but in decent shape the speed of the Wi-Fi adapters a little concerning I like the fact that it has fingerprint touch on the power button to help with login into windows. I was one of the people who got there Legion go put on back order so I got this and honestly I think it's more than what I need, I don't mind using it for two months to see if I'm gonna keep it if the Legion gets canceled which I'm thinking it will because I doubt they're going to get more inventory before 14 November. I'm just gonna probably stick with this I mean 484 is a great price.

Good deal at this price if you don't wanna spend $700 on the L Go. I was all for the L Go when it was announced but I'm gonna bite on this deal and see how it goes.

I don't understand the complaints, my Ally is rock solid since day 1. The damn thing puts a smile on my face every single day. I sold my console, gaming laptop and Switch after the Ally. I'm sure there are some bad units around, but that's definitely a very small percentage compared to the huge success of the Ally.
I can't wait to try the Legion Go, but it needs to be insanely cool to make my switch, otherwise all sleep on my Ally until amd launches the Z2 Extreme

I have no idea why anyone cares about the microSD card reader. The fact is, you shouldn't, and it doesn't even need to be on here. Upgrade the SSD, or don't. That's it.

I've updated my SD SSD to 2TB AND carry around six 1TB microSD cards so there definitely is still a need for a functioning card reader that you know, you paid for.

8TB... I will never understand people who use this much storage. I used to pirate every movie and TV show before streaming was a thing, I modded all of my game consoles and downloaded every popular Wii, PS3, Xbox, DS, 3DS, PSP, and Switch game. I have GamePass and a few hundred games on Steam.

I am nowhere close to having 8TB of content. I mean if I really want to watch a random movie from the early 2000's again or play a random game out of the blue, I'll just redownload it instead of pulling it from storage.

What exactly is on your 8TB worth of storage? Do you just have hundreds of games installed for some reason?

Looks like the open Box Excellent are up to $520 now. I may just get a new for $599. I have a Steam Deck now, I ordered day 1, but I've spent more time tweaking and getting things to work than actually gaming on it. I also have Game Pass which I can't use on the Deck. I've dual booted Windows but it just doesn't run very well and the controls in Windows aren't great.

The thing I hate the most about the SteamDeck is the flat top thumbsticks. The ones on the Aly seem way better (based on the few minutes I've played on a demo unit at Best Buy)

Haha I appreciate the flex for sure, but you're being silly. 6 1TB in cards...that's like $500 in micro SDs. But there is no way you have time for 8TB of gaming related stuff. You loading it up with a ton of 4K mkvs watching movies? My high end gaming PC only has 2 tb of NVME, plenty of space for everything including emulation, except my large movie collection.

Price has gone up now. Maybe it's for the best.
Already had a Steam Deck and very happy with it so was deciding whether to bite or not...

I got a new and open box excellent condition.
Open box one looked just like new until I started using it and realized that the left analog stick was loose and would click weirdly every time I moved from middle to left.

Got my open box "excellent". Was pretty dirty, couple small scratches on the screen. Going back to try a few more open box to see if in better condition. If not, cancelled and will start thinking bout new Ally or Legion go.
