Remember to set the custom fan curve else seems high chance to fry the sd card.

To those who already received their units, could you guys share the manufactured date of your units?

I asked them yesterday. They told me they do not have stock for walk-ins yet. All are a lotted for pre-orders. Maybe you can check at Challenger, Harevy Norman, Best Denki, Courts and the likes, they also carry the ROG Ally. Anyway, the other guy on the thread say you get Charger Dock when you purchase with POSB/DBS so maybe you can give them a call and check too?

Just got the notification from Ninjavan saying they'll be delivering mine today - Lazada Atrix store!

I am currently using it as a portable "laptop" mode with a portable monitor plugged into Sabrent Dock and with a wireless mechanical keyboard and mouse. I am using the included ASUS adapter, but it shows me this message "does not support full performance".

I hope they fix the issue. I read that they are aware of it.

Update took about 2 hours... System Updates, BIOS updates, Window Updates, Drive Updates.

Also, when updating BIOS, remove Ally from any dock, just plug in original adapter and restart, it will go into BIOS update mode automatically. I was using the dock and the Ally will only shutdown when trying to update BIOS

EDIT : Also, it works great as a laptop replacement! Very smooth performance, web browsing, etc.

Maxed up!

Found this online so sharing it

I USED to HATE the ROG ALLY!

NOW I LOVE IT!

Here are a few steps I took to make it what it should have been out of the box. If this is redundant to the group, I'm sorry, but it may save someone from returning and instead enjoying it like I am now.

The Ally is EXTREMELY poorly set up from a software perspective. It has all the juice in the world but no way to use it out of the box. I did a few things to get the most out of it.

1. Go to the Windows update setting many times in a row until no more updates are available.

2. Register with the MyAsus app and download all available updates.

3. Go into the AMD Software app and update all drivers there

4. Go into Armory Crate and update all settings there ( Also appears they released something today the fixed the crackling speakers )

5. Go into BIOS or VRAM setting in Armory Crate and set this feature to AUTO (HUGE IMPROVEMENT IN GAMES!)

6. Go into windows features and turn off Virtual Machine platform then search core isolation in windows and turn that off as well. (10-20 FPS boosts)

7. You will need to play around with ALOT of settings in games to find a sweet spot. ( I have been searching online key phrases like... Best settings for Hogwarts Legacy, Call of Duty Warzone etc, on ROG ALLY )

Hope this helps someone

*******EDIT********. When you turn off core isolation and virtual machine platform it will force you to reset your pin when you log back in. You’ll have to click reset pin twice and then it will go. It will also delete your finger print info so you’ll have to go to windows search bar and search finger print and simply reset it.
