Asus ROG seems to just be garbage tier products marketed as premium. Just ask the rubber pads on my Gladius II.

Right now, it really looks like handheld gaming is cornered by Nintendo and Valve. The steam deck is way more reliable and appealing compared to the windows handhelds, and the switch is the switch.

Recently built an SFF PC and the only SFX-L power supply in stock with a native 16pin power connector was their Loki model. Luckily they just rebrand Seasonic power supplies who are afaik known to be pretty high quality so hopefully I won’t have any issues with it. But yeah their stuff always seems to have a big price premium they don’t deserve and overboard “gamer aesthetic” that I’m not really into, so I generally stay away from their stuff.

Jeff Gerstmann had a funny bit the other week about having trouble getting the SD card out of his Ally so he could return it, until he remembered he could just run a game on it until the heat popped the SD card out for him.
