On paper. In practice, meh.

Own both

Ease of use - Ally Graphical capabilities - Ally Battery usage - Steam Deck (because less graphical capabilities) Gaming platforms/launcher availability - Ally Customization and layout - Steam Deck, and it ain't even close.

I love my Ally and my wife loves my Steam Deck. But the Ally is better in all the ways above. I will say the Steam deck is easier to open up for repairs, but not by much

The Steam Deck also isn't made by a shitty company with a shitty warranty. Which puts the Ally on the blacklist.

There's a lot of options in this space, and more coming out. I wouldn't even glance in the Ally's direction right now.

I was just refuting the bit that it's not better off the paper. By all the measures above, it's not "meh" better. The steamdeck could drastically improve by taking some notes in what the Ally does well.

I agree though that Asus isn't a company I choose to do business with first, they just had the best product for what I was looking for.
