Yeh, it's the Asus UK store.

i see it’s just because when i google asus uk store the link is https://www.asus.com/uk

hence i was worried that the above link is uk.store.asus

doesn’t match

I haven't seen factual proof anywhere, but backing up your statement, this was mentioned on Discord - "according to review documents it got gyro also in system devices its got an boschg accelerometer"

Verge review mentions it has gyro

They are like nvidia - use a 3rd party for their UK store.

Don't worry, I ordered with that link, though I used my card and not paypal. They sent confirmation e-mails ending in [email protected]

DougF1 · 11 May 2023 at 16:56

Invoice is from ASUS.

I got the same @FloppyPoppy don’t worry.

Anyone know where you can pre-order the official case?

Martini1991 · 11 May 2023 at 17:49

Battery life seems a bit brutal.

DougF1 · 11 May 2023 at 18:05

So the Handheld guy on YouTube has found when docked, it can go up to 40W. Looking forward to seeing what it can get up to at 40w!

Its hidden under the custom profiles.

Think initial stock has already gone from asus. Just says notify me now, rather than preoder.

Personality+ · 11 May 2023 at 19:41

That's cheaper than I expected. I'll wait for the beta testers to be unhappy with their final product and buy one 2nd hand.

champ222 · 11 May 2023 at 20:08

Cheaper than expected for sure. Too much for me though. None of the games i want to play on the deck are too taxing... the last one was speedball 2, amiga emulator.

Looking forward to the reviews though.

ASUS emailed me a link to pre-order and all I get is a notify button, does that mean all their allocation has gone?

Yeah

To be fair there was a sizeable window.
I'm hyped for the Ally, but I think some of the reviews have made me happier to hold with my Deck for now.

I love my Steam Deck, but since getting a ps5 I can't remember the last time I played a game locally on it..I just use chiaki to remote into the ps5 with it, so not even tempted by one of these right now.

DougF1 · 11 May 2023 at 20:52

Not touched Linux in ages. I wonder what performance / battery life will be like with this running SteamOS? I’d be interested to see it. I assume you could just put it on another SSD and switch it to avoid warranty issues? Drivers on the other hand, may be a problem.

Would be an interesting comparison thats for sure.
