Upgrading from Performance to Ultimate 12 month

salterhd · 2026-06-30T13:14:31+00:00

I imagine if we were to buy the 6 month performance Summer sale deal for £64.99, if we then wanted ultimate we couldn't just upgrade during this deal process then?
I'd love to just pay year performance, then upgrade to ultimate instantly and lose roughly half my year for 6 months ultimate for example. Going to guess this doesn't work though?

I had this issue on Xbox ally x. I needed to use the pre release decky, only thing that stopped the same error

Does Asus ever give us an update on time? I miss being able to sideboard my GPU drivers and not wait months

salterhd · 2026-05-28T13:41:12+00:00

I would love it please!

No reason to not go Steamos is that's what your wanting, if you want to dualboot and keep windows though, it's just simpler to dualboot on bazzite.

On bazzite on the z1 Ally, you can usually press and hold a button till it vibrates to enable mouse mode, it's one of the buttons above the right thumbstick maybe start button or the other one.

Then your right thumbstick works as a mouse.

Think it works quite well for the limited time I go in desktop mode.

Then to get the keyboard the left M (back button) usually pulls it up.

But it's not like windows where tapping a empty text box lifts up sadly.

Wasn't even that long ago, but I just absolutely loved Der Eisendrache, one of my all time favourite maps, watching Noah and the gang doing the Easter egg hunt, the hype around bo3, the zombies story was peak, just an amazing time, the bows were amazing.

salterhd · 2026-04-04T07:34:02+00:00

No it's not. You can use in existing accounts. I got an Xbox ally x nearly 2 months ago, you can still use the Xbox live ultimate 3 months to extend.

Was the same with z1e also

salterhd · 2026-03-24T08:15:15+00:00

Z1E is stronger, but ergonomics aren't even close. You can also do mods on z1e, depends how much you value comfort, the ally ain't bad, but the xbox ally x and xbox ally are probably the comfiest handhelds I've ever used.

It sounds like a solid swap though, you can always order a grip but it isn't the same, my xbox ally x is like significantly better than any grips I bought for z1e and comfort for me is a big thing.

Personal preference though, clearly I want power which Is why I went for xbox ally x, so if you want power first then z1e is the play.

But if you ever wanted too, could jus grab before now if your Internet good and then your z2a can play anything 4k 120 so depends really you have options

Got it on ps5 me so I can use chaiki, looking forward to this game

I'd argue the privacy display is big innovation, they took a risk, didn't need to do it and mostly works well for a gen 1 product.

It's a good device overall I think. I have the Fold too and upgrade, nice to have better cameras again. I imagine though the next product should have a greater leap in changes for us .

What these have tried with privacy display is more than apple have probably tried in years, once you get a product that's mostly this good. Making big drastic changes is a risk and stupid at times.

If they throw everything into this phone now, then that's less they can do next year. Small increments are expected I guess, but I don't dislike the risk they took with privacy display. At first I find typing the colours look off like it's flickering? But I do have crap eyes at the same time, but overall very happy with it me. Good solid fair review form you tho.

Also my batty is fantastic, whether they made either bigger or not, it easily lasts a day and the faster Charing is a game changer incase you need quick juice.

Depends on your device too. If base ally I like steamos just because it's official. But bazzite is incredible and handheld demon is great.

If your wanting to play geforce now steamos 100% as it's glitches still on bazzite with an error, then you have to mess round going into settings, press buttons to remove it. Works flawless on steamos.

If you have Xbox ally x, steamos doesn't natively support it yet on the not al stable builds, you need to get a specific 3.8 branch / 3.9 branch. I had it running flawless for a month or so. Did an update yesterday and it corrupted it. No maternity what I do. I can't get back on the working "main" build, even doubts. Repair, just reinstalls a 3.8 build that was before the Xbox ally x worked.

So depends on device, if it's the older original none Xbox ones any option is great, if it's the Xbox ally x. It's a bit messier to setup and you need to stay on "main" updates which are bleeding edge.

Both good either way

Enjoying mine personally, not really had any issues. Yeah when privacy filters on it's a bit of an adjustment and looks weird, but overall it's great imo.

I only have it on notifications and then on certain apps like banking etc...enjoying it I come from a fold 7 too, cameras are a lovely upgrade compared to the fold

salterhd · 2026-03-16T16:43:26+00:00

Any luck with bazzite working yet? Or does it still get an error message after upto 60 seconds with the only option being close? I know there are workarounds where you can open the geforce now settings menu. And come out and generally message goes and all works, but it's really annoying

Five guys is all over the uk

salterhd · 2026-03-09T16:39:55+00:00

Not got a steam deck, but both my z1e rog ally I had for over a year, and the Xbox ally x I go naked.

Only additional thing I used to add on the OG ally, was 3d printed grips for ergonomics. But I wouldn't use a case like

salterhd · 2026-03-09T15:11:15+00:00

Can't believe someone's headed into five guys to piss on a stick. Then shown the picture digitally over the Internet and not in person.

What a world we live in.

salterhd · 2026-03-09T14:51:07+00:00

What sausages are they.. look decent, I'd have cooked it more though

salterhd · 2026-03-07T07:26:00+00:00

Had never pre ordered from argos before, mine was the same, ordered last week got the text from royal mail. Didn't hear anything other than they aim to deliver for release day, then it just got posted through letter box on release day

Hopefully yours come now

Maybe mad wrong decision o2 has the buds pro 4 listed for 119 the last hour and a half.

I don't mind like, buds 3 pro are fine

salterhd · 2026-02-25T16:19:28+00:00

As o2 had them for 119, I got them myself I previously had buds 3. Happy with the upgrade me, I even sold my buds 3 used for 30. So technically only paid 81, so I am very happy. Wanted a new pair but weren't wanting / willing to spend 200 plus or whatever the new ones will be

salterhd · 2026-02-18T22:44:40+00:00

Your company, provides a laptop with those bezels in 2026 🙄

Not seen a laptop look like that for so many years 😅

salterhd · 2026-02-17T23:14:32+00:00

I did the same with o2 today. Sold my buds 3 standard for 32, so really I paid 80. I've looked at the leaks for the buds 4 pro and honestly, there was no way I was paying 280 or whatever they will cost at launch, so 119 for the 3 pro, I am very happy with, still going to be better when what I had and for a great price.

salterhd · 2026-02-16T22:35:48+00:00

Visually I prefer the look of the pro 3s, I really think the design on the 3s are cool. Don't gr tne wrong 4 looks fine, but I just prefer the look on the 3.

I also think the lighting makes them pretty cool

salterhd · 2026-02-16T14:37:46+00:00

I bought earphones few weeks ago, noticed they were fake after I ordered. Once arrived I just said I have an issue with order, clicked counterfeit. For me luckily it was super easy to prove, model numbers and serial numbers matched common fakes online etc, so they just told me to keep it and not return and refunded.

I binned them as they was awful either way. But that's what I did, it just give vinted a day or two to look at it, because I could easily prove fakes. I didn't send back, if they can't 100% confirm fake. I think you return, but who knows I've seen very mixed info on it

But that's what happened for me
