Heard absolutely nothing for Asus. I phoned them yesterday and they said it would be dispatched today before 5pm.
I won't be ordering from them again.

Awful.
Still processing this morning. What are the chances this is getting delivered tomorrow? 
What are the benefits of upgrading to Pro? I can only see gaining bitlocker encryption?

None - I had the same thought myself, seems a very odd thing to do for a games console. Not like you're going to be domain joining it and running GPOsStill processing this morning. What are the chances this is getting delivered tomorrow?

Could be an objective if using the Ally as an actual desktop I suppose, if that way inclined. Drive Encryption is enabled by default on the Allys in any case even on Home.
As a console, and wanting the actual Asus/Xbox experience as labelled on the box, having all the relevant software installed may be a bit more problematic if putting a clean Pro install on. Messing with it the last day ahead of installing a new SSD and I've found it surprisingly clunky, probably due to other Windows updates installed. Unresponsive Armoury Crate command center, Steam not starting unless in Windows mode etc, unable to reinstall AC widget after uninstalling etc (TBF a complete uninstall and reinstall of AC may well fix that, but cant be bothered if doing the SSD after - just odd the widget is not available to download)
Actual performance seems fine the little games I've tried, but it's still a device that requires more than a little hands-on for anyone walking in first time and expecting a Deck-style introduction

Remote desktop which I use all the time, cant do it with the home version.
