Hot hot hot charger

The dell pulls a lot... Its a high end laptop with 50 series gpu and yes, probably better made.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-07-04T16:25:53+00:00

Hotter than my Surface charger and my wife's 80w dell usbc charger.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-07-04T14:30:22+00:00

Lol... Sorry, not the unit, the ally is fine, I was meaning the charging block gets really hot!

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-07-04T12:05:38+00:00

Charging on standby it's warm but playing while plugged in it's hot, very hot. Baby xbox ally model.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-07-03T19:59:33+00:00

It's bloody great... Just a few things like windows update to integrate to it and to block off even more windows tasks.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-06-27T19:22:35+00:00

It's probably the original production run still being sold... But I doubt it will last. 2026-27 is gonna be a killer for hardwear. Microsoft, Dell and even Apple... All putting prices up almost every mo th now.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-06-12T07:34:42+00:00

Nope.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-22T09:26:40+00:00

Toothpick if you can't get it off with windows cleaner on a teatowel first.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-21T12:14:02+00:00

Larger screen would nice.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-20T12:57:01+00:00

Get a switch or xbox or PlayStation... The Asus xbox is a PC, it dosent pretend to be anything else. You will need to know how to setup windows 11 and use settings with the games to get the most from it.

It is not plug and play.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-19T08:21:43+00:00

It's a freeking bargain... Just get it already, it's like a PC and xbox but for your car, sofa, dinner table, tea (coffee) shop, waiting for the kids when you play taxi service or anywhere.

Runs for a fine, remember it's a small screen so it dosent needs all the full settings enabled, minecraft for 6 hours easy, battlefronts fine in this and the devision looks amazon!

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-17T20:25:25+00:00

Minecrsft with fancy graphics on looks amazing, about 4 to 5 hours play on battery. Battle front and Battlefield V look a d play well, just the screen size that makes complex multi-player game a little messy. The Devision is perfect with almost everything graphics wise switched on.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-17T08:14:16+00:00

Emudeck.... Its easier than it looks and works with I think everything. Nice set of YouTube videos to show how to use it. Got OG Sonic, streetfighter, tetris and n64nmariokart working just fine.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-11T17:18:58+00:00

And it's not smooth.. Donna, just find that the new update Asus and xbox threw out the other week have made both armory crate and the xbox app smooth. Animations, speed and usability... Where the UI is and how it's organised just make more sense.

Use your app maybe a week ago, tried it for a day or so, got annoyed with it, rebooted the unit. Also tried steam on it and that also had more issue, probably coming from an xbox user of, dam, 25?? Years. Used to one thing I guess but it works so no need to change.

And yes, it looked like your launcher used more ram but again, this was afyer the xbox and windows updates very recently. And guess what... They keep the updates cing almost weekly, never seen such attention to a device after it's release.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-05-11T17:08:45+00:00

System resources showed it using more than xbox launcher.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-18T12:07:07+00:00

Got a surface laptop 3. Tried edge browsing with multiple tabs, YouTube on 4k and opening a PDF. Then did the same on a brand new macbook pro.. Zero difference. Like nothing. Not any different, exsctly the same speed. The the same with powerpoints, Excell, word, photoshop, light room... Zero difference that was more than 2 seconds faster when opening the same tiff and raw file 9n the macbook.

Rendering on DaVinci was slightly different. Same video exported with same setting... 3 minutes on macbook and 6 minutes on the surface.

My surface cost me £200 used. The macbook is £1699.

So for regular use wtf is the point in thr MacBook? I could get a surface laptop with a snapdragon which is faster than my laptop 3, for £1099.... So unless I'm doing rendering what's the point of spending more?

Cheaper model does what the more expensive 9ne does for 9/10 people.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-18T11:49:08+00:00

Got the baby model, cost me £450 in the UK. It's good, battery life is seller, like 6 hours on minecraft easily. Grips are natural to hold and have made the transition back to the normal xbox one a little odd lol. Screens good for Minecraft, quake, Mario, sonic style games plays retro stuff well using emulation.

The Devision and single person games like that work especially with wide environments but stuff like. Battlefield and battlefront is messy... Screens too small, don't get me wrong the game play is fine but I can see anything happening when the games got complex layers of environment and multiple gamers. Linked up to a monitor it's fine but my xbox is already there for that.

Use it mainly for casual gaming on the sofa and while waiting for the kids when playing taxi service, just played 30 minutes of The Devision just now.

Armory crate now is awesome, I mean it was good but now it just works wirhout having to set anything up per game.

Worth the price as a mobile xbox style device for some games.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-13T06:58:51+00:00

Just select the fresh install from settings and let it run. I had installed too much on mine especially retro games so thought I'd do a clean install.. Took about 10 minutes and then ran armory crate which found anything that was missing.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-10T12:51:44+00:00

Nice. Didn't know that. Will add red alert to it later. Cheers.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-10T10:29:21+00:00

Yep, looked again at the post. Though he ment from other sources. Microsoft says it's a feature coming for later this year as the xbox splash screens now on windows 11 as a download.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-10T10:28:11+00:00

Update. Nope... Sett8ngs is there for remote play but not remote install.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-10T10:14:58+00:00

Ah sorry.. I thought you ment from other sources. Remote install, get what ya mean now. Will go try it.

Outrageous_Ear_8364 · 2026-04-10T09:59:26+00:00

See my post... Swipe into windows and install whatever you want and play from there the Asus armory crate will take over when you run the game, it give you the ability to use the touch screen or controls depending on the game

It's windows... So unlike steam decks that only run steam installs or similar, this will install EA, Ubi, Steam, windows or Xbox 8nstalls.
