So when handheld gaming PCs became commonplace I was ecstatic.

You could get as much as an extra half-hour of game time that way.

Asus ROG Ally

The Asus ROG Ally has a striking, all-white design.

So it’s possible for you to lower the screen’s resolution to 720p to use less power.

Doing so means the screen is literally working less hard than it would at 1080p.

Eve better, you’ll probably barely notice the difference on the handheld’s display.

You can also use custom power profiles to crank everything up to max, if you want to plug in your Ally and see how hard it can work.

Think of these as ceilings you set for how hard you want your handheld to work.

and play around with them to see how raising and lowering them affects performance in your favorite games.

Your mileage may vary.
