You know the best part? The 2 minute battery life. Just such a huge improvement over the Steam Deck. You get the authentic desktop PC gaming experience and have to keep it plugged in to get any decent amount of play time.
@@zeblackboi yeah the distinction is in the feel. The steamdeck, when you turn it on first time, you set your language, location and steam account. From that point onward you turn the system on and immediately load into their steamos frontend which makes it feel more like a console. At no point do you ever have the touch the linux side of things, all your games should just work (playability rating not withstanding since something not being playable might be a single touch screen selection) The Rog on the other hand does a windows setup and from there you need to update everything and manually setup everything yourself from the windows 11 desktop,. Once done then you can set a front end at that point if you want, but more likely then not you want to make full use of your armory menu and the benefit of running some things off the windows system so likely wont. So TLDR: The steamdeck is a handheld console that you can load into arch linux if you want, The Rog Ally is a handheld pc that you can play games on (albeit very well once you tweek each game just right).
Because he got paid to talk about the good stuff. It's already confirmed they're paying creators to "review" it. And guess what? Even if they didn't pay him with money, if they sent him a review model that is still payment. The Ally is pretty cool but this feels more like a commercial than a review. Windows 11? Ew. It also dies after about 1 year lol. At least the SD port does anyway. I feel like the Steam Deck is a better value.
Haha, the steam deck is FULL of issues and they never say the bad stuff either like it was released behind with gen 2 processor. Slow. Yucky. Raspberry NEO and the Ally FTW
Your point about cooling is irrelevant, a Steam Deck doesn't need a second fan as it has half the TDP of the Ally, therefore generating less energy and heat.
:/ steam decks can do the same thing, it just happens to be a different os that more companies support also same is the steam deck... (minecraft has native lunix support )
I bought one this season and love it....granted it took a whole day to update (thx to the bad wifi at my hotel) I love the machine, with battery protection on (max charge 80%) I got an hour game play on F/O 4 with max settings before I stopped with 15% battery left.
Don't get the Ally, get either a Steam Deck OLED, Legion GO or the upcoming Ally X, as the Ally is known to have issues (Melting SD Card reader), and if you do have issues, well, ASUS is kinda under fire for horrible warranty (they will try to charge you for warranty repairs)
@@sharinglungs3226 I’ve got a steam deck with 2TB of storage for still over $100 less than the cheapest rog ally, so uhhh, not an especially big selling point. If you think the deck is hotter and louder than the ally, you’ve played yourself, lol. Also excusing poor design decisions and even worse integrity by the company to support their device by saying “but we don’t really need the sd slot” you’re just a fanboy for asus and have no interest in a better product, only “mine is better than yours at all costs”. There’s nothing wrong with liking the ally, but pretending it’s faultless is a bad look
Man I’m so glad I went and saw one of those at Best Buy I was so curious about the scale I went to get a new mouse and look at laptops and they had one in the corner of the store and oh man it’s so small and nice it’s just the right size for my hands I was worried it was going to be huge. Now I just gotta see a steam deck in person
I just got it, RUclips videos don’t do this thing justice , the colors on the screen , and size are AWSOME , I’ve gotten almost 3 hours of battery time , older games get me like 5. STEAMS backlog of games is unreal. Also, nobody goes outdoors to play any video games console , if you do you may get robbed ore mugged , I don’t mind plugging it in out on my patio , or bed , or on the couch , it’s all good. And I love windows , yeah it’s a bit glitchy , it’s always been that way, I really LOATH Linux.
I was thinking legion go too but depending on if your leaving the house w it or not and can’t bring a charger, I’d say save the money and get the rog. Steam deck is using same chip as the cheaper option rog ally and it still plays less games, the rog ally w z1 extreme chip is the same one in legion go, has a wider variety of games, may cook sd cards but tbh i was going to use a split cable so i can charge it while playing games or you could get a one of those usb sized ssd pick your fighter lol
Everyone bent but in reality it’s the most missable and powerful system to run. Best use on dock for constant power, small battery life for high fps and graphics games on the go. But is a WIN considering its practically a pc to go and your library and modding options are unlimited with classics to newer stuff, and not need a laptop or entire pc
by far my best purchase, i just wished asus offered an actual docking station rather than just that dumb plug, would be nice if said docking station kept my device cooler as well
And with the performance of a GTX 1050 you can enjoy basically anything at 20fps in 720p! Don’t forget your charger you’ll need it from full in a bout 20 minutes
Steam deck and legion go is still better. I own the rog ally z1, Legion go and steam deck. The deck is great for offline play, Legion go runs more smoothly than the ally.
You said it cools faster, yet it burns the microSD card. Clearly you're not being honest. I know they did an update to power the fan more on that side or cool it down on that side. I'm still planning on getting it but I do my research.
Steam deck has its own operating system based on Linux, while this is using windows 11. The steam deck’s OS was literally designed for gaming. Idk what is better.
Comparing this to the steam deck makes sense but to add a switch isn’t really necessary. The switch is very underpowered and ancient we know about everything in modern day gaming is more powerful than a damn switch. Dude a basic calculator has more power than a switch stop playing with those poor bastards 😂
