Didn't the ROG Ally have a lot of problems? Have those problems been fixed?
Talking about melting SD card slots, needing to play plugged in to make any use of its power, and unstable frame times.
As far as I've seen the Ally did indeed have those problems but they have been fixed with the Ally X, it seems many people are very happy with them but it also seems that Asus RMA process is a bit hit or miss.
Yeah, I've been hearing some very shitty things about there RMA process since before they released their first model Ally. Wasn't it their motherboard that fucked CPUs? And then they released a "fix" update to the BIOS that was still an alpha, didn't actually fix anything, and voided the warranty if you installed it?
Yup, rings a bell.
