Got a Ugreen bundle (dock, 100W charger, cable) for a good price on Aliexpress. Working flawlessly for me!
Just curious, when you said work flawless meaning can get turbo mode 30w with Ugreen dock and 100w charger? Can show your setup? I don think anyone in the internet got this setup to work properly.

Since I went out today, brought my deck out to play. Running at 18W, I managed to play for about 1 hour~ until battery was at 10%. Using a battery bank, I can easily extend the play time much longer.

Playing at Turbo while plugged in got the Ally to be really hot. Played for about 1.5 hours without any issues with my SD card. Temps are pretty good, around 60C to 65C while playing most games.

I have the exact same setup but only displayed 25W plugged in I think (though I didn't benchmark between plugged and unplugged). That said I'm super satisfied so far setting a manual mode to 25W with custom fan curve to keep it cool below 80 degrees - played Arkham Knight on high settings, 1440 x 900 (looks like FHD to my untrained eyes anw) and getting consistent 60fps...it's an old game I know but my old bulky Aftershock from 2014 couldn't run it at all makes you marvel at this device

If you bought it from ATRiX... They are providing a free screen protector at their Funan Stall for a Good review FOC... Not sure if they're selling it...

Full setup done. Kept it at BIOS 317. VRAM kept it at 4GB.

Resident Evil 2 works but need to play around with graphics configs to prevent crashes.
Control Ultimate Edition works out of the box.
Nier Automata works out of the box.

As mentioned before, when docked, automatically detected and output at 4K resolution on my external 4k display. Unable to adjust resolution at all as it is greyed out in windows. But, in game, if i am playing on it docked, I will adjust back to FHD as this device is 'powerful' but it obviously can't game at 4k.

Overall, i prefer this to steam deck as it can double up as a 'main' desktop computer.
But maybe they are not comparable since the steam deck is 720p gaming capable while the ally is FHD gaming capable and a full windows computer.

I redeemed mine from Atrix ytd...it's a great protector just 1mm short so if others are applying should factor in a tiny bit of space

Do they apply the screen protector for you? Do you need to bring the letter down or just show the receipt will do? I would like to collect but I already applied a screen protector from aliexpress.

I didn't bring my Ally out yesterday so I just redeemed it with the letter that I brought in person - cannot confirm but seems to me that just showing them maybe a picture of the letter / Lazada order + review (they requested me to do it and they'll take a picture of my screen) would do. I applied it myself at home and it was easy just that the fit wasn't perfect (1mm short on the long side)

How was the touch screen sensitivity?

Received mine on launch day. Received two handhelds in June. Ayaneo 2s and also Asus Ally.




Found out that left stick kept rubbing onto the rgb grille. Rest of the unit is working fine. Upgraded to 2tb nvme on day one as well.



size comparison between the Ally, Ayaneo 2s and GPD Win 4. Win4 is still the best portable handheld. Might consider upgrading to the 7840u when it is released.
