Mini Asus ROG Ally Review

I bought the ROG Ally (base Z1 model) the other day for around $400 because I wanted something for when I take trips out of town, or if I wanna sit outside and touch grass. I mainly bought it so I can play games like CoD and Palworld on the go. I tested MW3 to make sure it ran fine. On low settings, 900p, with fluid frames and such on, I get around 70-90fps depending on map and such, with lows going in the 60s. Helldivers 2 — still tweeking — managed to get 50+fps on 720p low settings. Have yet to see if fluid frames helps at all. Valorant runs like a beauty with me getting 140+fps with no changes to quality. I need to test other games but as far as right now, I'm satisfied with my choice, even tho I wish I could be benefiting from the much better processor, but budgeting came first. If you have the money, buy the Z1 Extreme model, unless you don't plan on using it as a daily driver for games. (edited)
