The console ASUS presents a big problem, the area where the compartment is located to insert the microSD cards that allow you to expand the storage of the Rog Ally, is located just behind the ventilation grilles, a very big design flaw. This can cause these cards to burn, something that the company already takes into account, offering an additional guarantee against this type of damage.
The design of the Rog Ally It’s not exactly bad, as we well know. ASUS has worked hard in recent years to offer a game console capable of competing in an emerging market such as that of devices handled of this type. Even so, it is always possible that there is a failure that can cause a device to be practically unusable, and although this only affects if we use a microSD card, it is still a problem, which the company is already working on solving.
The new design of the Rog Ally will change the microSD on its side
In a simple way, it is clear that the easiest way to solve the problem that we can find with the expansion slot offered by the Rog Ally To incorporate a microSD card is to change its position, something that since ASUS they already take into account, and that we may see shortly. At the moment, the company is offering a series of temporary solutions until we see the new design that this console will incorporate, in which the position where the microSD is located will no longer represent a problem.
And until this system arrives that prevents the microSD from overheating, something that could lead to destroying the card reader itself, ASUS has extended the game console’s warranty by 2 years, and added coverage for damaged card readers. Although it is clear that the warranty and coverage only cover the company’s own console, so if we have been the unlucky ones whose card has broken due to overheating, the brand will not be responsible for the damage. the card itself, or any data that may have been lost.
Will it arrive with the new version of this game console?
We recently discovered that ASUS would be planning to launch a new version of its console this year, something that they could supposedly present at Computex in 2024, and that would come with hardware improvements without changing the design of the platform itself. But it is possible that we will see the change in the position of the card reader in this new model, which, although it has not been confirmed at the moment, everything indicates that from the company that created the Rog Allythey plan to make this movement.
This implies that we may not see this change until the launch of the new version of the console. ASUSalthough it is clear that we only have to wait until next month to find out if they will really reveal this new console during the event held in Taiwan.
