I just saw the ASUS handheld in the wild. It was running some FPS game pretty well.

Can anyone help me compare the two - Steam Deck OLED vs comparable ASUS version? Which do you prefer? Pros/cons?

I’m almost decided to buy the Deck OLED, but seeing that in the wild made me pause. It looks nice.

    I presume ally is better for someone who can’t stand much outside of windows and doesn’t mind using it at home most of the time.

      I dont think the Ally is better in any regard, raw performance doesn’t really matter when playing on such small screens and isnt worth the tradeoff of other features.

        I’d say if you’re going to keep it as a primary windows PC docked at home, but with the added gimmick of it being a handheld, ally isn’t that bad of an option. I just think Deck is way more interesting as a grownup toy and much more bang for its buck.

      It’s not really about the OS, it’s about the integration. Sure if you wanna do advanced stuff outside of the integration, then it’s OS, but someone who can’t stand anything but windows is only going to want an integrated experience
