    Steam Deck OLED for me. I was a day 1 Steam Deck LCD user, upgraded to the OLED Limited edition. I just don't need handhelds to run crazy games like Cyberpunk (Even though it can very well). I prefer Emulation and other games on my Steam Deck that I don't normally play at my desk on my main PC. Games like Hollow Knight, Hades, Tales of Arise, etc. Each one of these devices is awesome and has their own worth and use for sure. Steam Deck OLED is just the device for me! Great Video!

    I bought an LG. It would have been great if this had VRR, fingerprint recognition, and native landscape LCD.
    Rog would be great if the microSD didn't get destroyed due to heat issues.

    Having owned and used the SD, Ally, and Legion GO, I can say without a doubt that the Ally takes the crown for me. I loved the SD and even considered getting an SDOLED, but SteamOS is the issue here. If all of your games are in Steam then you are golden with the SD or SDOLED and you should not look any further. If you play games from any other store/launcher/service, etc., then the SD/OLED is just too limiting unless you are willing to get down and dirty with modding to make your games work. Windows, even with it being completely trash for touch screen devices, is the superior OS if you plan to play games outside of Steam. Of the two Windows handhelds I've owned/used, the Ally wins for it's size/portability and usefulness of it's software. The Legion GO for me just felt a little too big, and the controllers were very loose when connected, giving way too much flex when hand holding the device. Plus the Legion software is not as well optimized (yet) as the Armoury Crate software on the Ally. While I enjoyed the bigger screen, the extra weight was definitely not desired. Performance wise, the LGO and the Ally are pretty much neck and neck as they are practically the same spec wise (aside from the screen resolution). If you don't mind using a battery bank or being plugged in, the Ally is the clear winner there. If portability and battery life are you biggest pain points, the SDOLED is the victor.

    • @HolloVVpoint
      @HolloVVpoint 10 месяцев назад +6

      💯 this. Haven’t tried the LGO but have both the Ally and deck, and I found my self using the Ally more purely because their was a bunch of EA games I wanted to finish which I couldn’t get to run on my deck. Having said that Valve are doing a great job of making more and more games compatible, which means at some point I might just sell both devices and get a SDOLED.
      Just got way to many devices at the moment and being a dad means I can’t really use any of them outside of the occasional handheld session.

    Steam Deck. The whole point of having a handheld is picking it up and playing. The fact that Steam has it so player friendly where you can just play a game without having to go thru the oc stuff is convenient.
    Got my Steam Deck OLED last week and have been playing it everyday. Loving it so far.
    If I wanted higher graphics and more ability to play AAA games with the Ally and LG, I’d just get a PC. That simple.
    Can’t wait for the future of gaming handhelds. Literally game changers. Don’t even need my consoles anymore PS5/XSX.

    • @alexh7513
      @alexh7513 10 месяцев назад +7

      I thought so too, but i have both devices and the rog ally is actually more player friendly with windows. I had some little problems with the steamdeck. For example sometimes the sound doesn't work as it should after sleep mode while playing. I had this problem never on the rog ally. The standby on the steamdeck is not as good as on the ally. For example after one night the steamdeck loses abouth 10 % battery, the rog ally only 1%. After one week vacation my steamdeck was nearly empty and my rog ally loses only 5% battery. (Both was before on 100%) Also every game works on the ally, you just need to stick at 720p on your settings, put your device to 18 watt mode and just play on the lowest graphic mode. You get 40 fps with every game and with the vrr screen everything feels smooth. On the steamdeck not every game works fine, some games can't go above 30 fps, so it doesn't feel good and some games doesn't work at all.
      Another think i don't like on the steamdeck is the desktop mode. With the ally you put your usb c cable from your monitor in and you can change your settings to 1080p for the big screen. On the steamdeck you are forced to use 720p and you can only change it to 1080p if you change into your desktop mode on the steamdeck. (That's very annoying and not user friendly) Also with the power from the ally you can play every game with 1080p low settings on your big screen.
      So in total for me the rog ally is more convenient, because you always stick to 720p low graphic and every game is perfect. Also the standby is far better without problems. (Like i had on the steamdeck)

    one small thing you missed: All of these consoles have gyro built in, so you aren’t locked into using the sticks to aim! This allows you to tilt the handheld to get mouse-like precision without having to connect any external device or use the trackpads. The onexplayer handhelds do require an external program to enable it, though. If you don’t get motion-sickness from it, I would recommend trying it! If not, accessibility >>>>>>>> everything else. Also please note that the gyro sensor is usually built into the main body and not the controllers

    • @SolidSt8Dj

    Speaking as a fresh Steam OLED owner, right away it feels like the better value proposition for me specifically. It allows me to dip into a decade of PC Gaming I missed aside from the absolute heaviest/or poorly optimised of games which as a percentage is small. Add to that emulation potential. The performance to power draw ratio is insane. Maxed out Arkham City and Metro Last Light and to me that’s already amazing. It fits my needs like a tailored suit but that won’t be the same for everyone else.

    Windows 11 is being underestimated in most of these comparisons. Ease of use is nice but minimal knowledge of Windows gets you the PlayStation App and Xbox App and any other you want. You could use Gamepass, Epic, EA Play, Prime Gaming and everything on PC. You could play with mouse and keyboard with monitor or do it all as a handheld. If it can’t handle a game locally you could stream all available services from console or cloud on those Windows handhelds. Like the Steamdeck the Nintendo Switch is easy to use but not the best for solely that reason and an OLED screen.

    For me it is the ally. I have owned it in conjunction with the xg moble for a few weeks now (I got the 3080 version on sale for $799). Being able to have it on the go and make it into a desktop is amazing. I replaced my desktop that had a 1660 super in it. So for around $1400 (for me $799 because I won the ally in a give away) I have a 3070 equivalent desktop that I can take on the go. I feel like the ally alone would go toe to toe with my old setup.

      Well, the Steam decks battery life is incredible, not everyone cares about performance as much as you do, and the Ally is still pretty expensive, and if you want to play with it plugged in at 30w that's great, but that's basically a laptop at that point, at 15w they are basically the same performance, but you get over double the battery life on the deck and then there's windows which sucks on a handheld, steam os won't allow you to play every game in existence but for the most part there are workarounds for that and it delivers a console experience which is very nice,
      and then Ally sometimes needs games to be on the internet for the time booting it the Steam deck doesn't, and then the hardware issues with the Ally are awful I have seen multiple people complaining about having to go through 4-5 allys just to get a good one, the ally isn't really a portable handheld unless you get a battery pack but then that's even more money for an already expensive handheld, and then there's also valves support for the steam deck they have updates and patches all the time, and they just seem to care about the steam deck, Asus has had updates yes but this whole sd card issue being ignored when they said they were gonna fix it is awful, the steam isn't as powerful but these are some of the reasons people tend to go for it over the ally I'm still deciding which one I want though I don't have either so no biases here just what I have seen so far.

    Steam Deck? NOPE!!
    Reasons? Very simple
    The Steam Deck doesn’t have egPU support. It requires REFORMATTING for any external memory that you want to use. Also if you have any problems with PC games, most if not all the resolutions that you will find Online will be for WINDOWS as opposed to Linux base fix. Also the SteamDeck has the lowest performance of the bunch.
    If your are a PC Gamer you will immediately see all these problems. The issue is that most who buy the Steam Deck are not even PC players. The SD is their first Pc gaming device and they come from consoles.
    I have a PC Build and also a RazerBlade, my Handheld of choice would be the ROG ALLY since ASUS has better game support vs the others, its light for travel with a big screen and great performance. Also because is Windows i can connect my external SSD from my PC to the ROG Ally and play the same games on the go.

    I’ve had the original SD, currently using the Ally and still considering the SD Oled. Only thing dragging my decision on and on is the weak performance of SD APU. The Z1E blows it out of the water, especially at 30W. Performances are even better with the latest BIOS and driver updates. Support for the Ally has been great from Asus so far. SD is better for many other aspects, battery life especially. With the ally you need a power bank or a wall plug or is it almost unusable with that crappy battery life.

      @zappybazinga8124 10 месяцев назад +4

      But that’s the problem. The ally is just a laptop in a handheld case. It’s not a handheld unless you lower the TDP and then it performs worse than the
      Steam deck at 15W. Yes you can run it up to 30 and get mid range laptop performance but then it needs to be plugged in. So a laptop really. Steam deck is the choice unless you want a laptop and then probably just better buying a laptop!

SD at 15W under full load has a crappy battery life as well (the LCD, not the OLED) and it becomes HOT (even >80C) while the Ally at 15W barely reach 60C and perform on pair or better than the SD with the latest BIOS update (on release date 15W performances were crap). The ROG Ally is a much better device hardware wise, but it's not a better handled because of its limitation with battery life. If you use it primary at home and you can plug it, it's a no brainer and it performs much metter. You need to deal with the idea you need a plug or an external battery pack and this was not a thing on my deck.

    Hard to compare as even though they all play games, they are fundamentally different devices that offer different experiences even if there is overlap.
    The Ally and the LGO offer way more flexibility out of the box, if you use game pass, EA play, Epic, Ubisoft games etc… then the windows handhelds are better, additionally you can transfer games directly from your pc or laptop without having to redownload them and don’t have to put in any real extra work to get mods working or emulators running. Granted windows is trash at this size, but even then outside of the initial setup you don’t really need to do anything on windows and spend most of your time in armoury crate, which houses all your games and launchers, also allows you to update your device and is a button click away.
    If most of your games are on steam, and you prefer a streamlined console experience where you just turn it on and don’t have to set anything up outside of logging on to your steam account and you don’t mind putting extra work to get mods and emulators working then the deck is definitely the way to go.
    Neither is going to be banging out triple AAA games at high refresh rates and that’s not what these are for in my opinion, so comparing specs outside of the screen is mute in my opinion, but you can’t go wrong either way.

It has also the best optimization which puts out the highest performance of right now, and it’s quiet. Things they could improve is definitely the battery (it is absolute dogshit lol), the sticks because they feel very loose and vulnerable, lastly the SD card holder even if I personally haven’t had any problems with it yet.

I like the ease of use of SD but with ROG and GO being windows I don't have to worry about what games are playable. People say no tinkering with the deck but thats if your only going to play games 100% compatible with the deck. For me I think is going to come down to the Rog or the GO. I want to like the GO as im a screen size guy, but beign new I would have to deal with the growing pains.

    As a cloud gamer, both the steam deck and ROG ally are not the best options. I recently had the ally, switched over the legion and it’s a crazy difference between the two. I use the legion for the games I can’t play on the cloud but when I do play the harder to run games via GeForce now, I need the 1440p at 120hz mode. Unfortunately the ally has a usbc 3.2 port that maxes out at 10gb which 1440p needs 13gb so the ghosting was terrible. The legion go has usbc 4 which maxes out at 40gb per second transfer speed. Just got a usbc 4 dock so I’ll let y’all know how it feels and works.

    I think so, yes.
    However it's not the most powerful, and to some people that's the only thing that matters.
    I think the Steam Deck is a very carefully considered and balanced device. Every single spec feels like a very deliberate decision was made, from the screen resolution to the TDP of the custom AMD chip to the decision to use Linux to the size, shape, and battery capacity. They could have gone MORE with any one of these, but that would be to the detriment of other factors. The Steam Deck is the perfect balance of performance and efficiency with today's technology, and only when sufficient enough performance improvements are available without just throwing more wattage at the issue will we see a true successor.

      @joshl6275 5 месяцев назад

      It's all about value proposition, too. Given weaker hardware, the Steam Deck still holds its own. But where it falls short on horse power, it makes up for in value. You get a console/handheld experience from the Deck. You can pick it up and go. You don't have to fiddle with things very much to get it working right. Stuff just "works." The fit and finish and aesthetic at point of use is thoughtful and elegant. Steam Deck is the MacBook of the handheld gaming world. Maybe not the most powerful machine. But it delivers the best overall experience. On the other hand, you can get something like the Ally which has raw horse power and a (theoretically) larger content library but at the expense of jankiness, bugs, and having to fuss with it constantly in order to get it working right. It's also a poor choice for gamers who aren't really interested in AAA titles, or who play a lot of point and click RPG's and the like. Stuff that requires a trackpad. None of this even mentions the fact that the battery life on the SD is just way better.
      People should buy according to their needs and preferences. I need a portable device that just works out of the box, more or less, and optimally runs the games I enjoy playing the most. I prefer a device that feels like it was made for the purpose of providing a handheld gaming console experience rather than some Frankenstein monstrosity of a Windows PC masquerading as a handheld gaming console. That means it's the Steam Deck for me.
