You can also engage a frame-rate limiter, but the choices of frame-rate are too limited and it doesn't seem to work anyway. The real-time monitor option is pretty decent actually - you can measure CPU and GPU clocks, monitor SoC temperature and keep an eye on power draw and battery life. This is where you can switch between your power profiles, controller configurations, summon a keyboard and change resolution and refresh rate of the display - not the game. You can summon it at any time via its own button on the front of the machine. The Command Centre is important to the experience as it allows for tailoring the game experience while you're playing. There's also an area for getting a deep breakdown on your system components, but I was intrigued to see that the list included HBM3 memory, when it's definitely LPDDR5. Accessing media, installing game platforms, system updates - it's all here. System stats gives you some numbers to look at - a read-out of system clocks etc, but there's more interesting things in the content tab. It's also here where you customise the Command Centre - a pop-up side-bar you can bring up to easily change configurations during play. The settings menu allows you to configure control modes to play your games how you want them, and it's also where you set-up WiFi, Bluetooth and 'Aura' RGB lighting. It scans your hardware and gives you access to your games whether they're from the Xbox store, Steam, EGS or any other major store. We shall discuss how the Ally handles battery life shortly, but the approach to making Windows work on a handheld is all about the custom version of the Asus Armoury Crate incorporated on top of vanilla Windows 11.
