I really like my Steam Deck and I don't play a lot of AAA games on it (or at all, really). But here's what I don't really understand - Why do I want to pay close to $1,000 USD to be able to play a AAA game for only 1 hour??? Even if the handheld in question is really nice... how is that worth it?

You are doing great

I don’t know why people expect so much from a handheld device? You have to be realistic about their capabilities and what they are good at and also be realistic about the limiting factor they ALL share, the battery life. I bought a steam deck and I love it, i use it mainly at home when I’m on the sofa or in bed and if I travel with it, unless I’m playing a less demanding game, I’m near a power outlet. I have a desktop PC if I want to play a AAA title on a bigger screen, I won’t ever expect a handheld device to be anywhere close to that level for years.

My concern with these smaller companies making handhelds is how long are you gonna get software updates/product support for these things? Seems they are constanly coming out with a new revisions of these things. Will this be forgotten about when they release their next handheld? With Valve or Asus you know you're gonna be okay for quite some time and if there's an issue it's likely to be resolved. If they cost more AND lack guaranteed support for a meaningful amount of time I don't see any reason to go with on of these or any of the others from Ayaneo, AYN, etc.

Software and updates is mostly going to be from AMD and Microsoft. It's a PC at the end of the day. New revisions? If there's new hardware, especially from AMD, they're going to put the latest and greatest in them. As for support, hard to say, these small companies may or may not do as well as bigger companies, who aren't always good with support themselves. Pricing, yeah until they can get higher amounts of sales, they can't cut a deal with AMD the way Valve and Asus have. Their early bird prices are competitive, but after that, then yeah they seem a bit pricey.

Sort of. The 780m drivers aren't quite as optimizer as the 680, but they still show noticeable improvement. The big problem was with the Z1 Extreme chips which ironically had worse performance at lower watts than the standard 7840u APUs. Unless they changed something within the last week, so far they've only almost achieved parity, which is concerning for the Ally.

I think the only companies who can do that with support for a single device for more than just a year before a new one comes out are Valve and Asus and it comes down to 2 things: Money and Resources. Their business does rely on them just selling the hardware like how Chinese companies like GPD and Aya are.

We should be happpy for so many choices right now. I choose the A1 Pro for the full size (2280) NVME and already have a 4tb drive to put in. Also the largest battery. This would not be possible on any other handheld. Plus is has 2 USB4 ports and a extra full size type A port on the top. The only drawback is the lack of an oculus port for an egpu. But right now the egpu enclosures for oculus our super expensive. Picked up a Thunderbolt 3 egpu enclosure instead.

@@ramonavovannanda4022 not really. Ayaneo 2S is objectively a better handheld console with more and faster memory (7500MT/s LPDDR5x) and without a bloatware that is Asus Armory Crate or proprietary bullshit for an I/O.

I think they are worried you plug in and play with say a 30W charger and it will ruin your battery VERY fast. Someone found out the hard way when he gamed on his strix scar and charging it via USB-C which is 100W max. So the battery is being charged and drained.

Valve created the hardware, and control the software. Therefore the device is going as optimized as much as possible, which is good. Valve also makes it easy to buy replacement parts for your steam deck. Playing cyberpunk at 40fps with a mix of medium and low settings is not a problem on a small screen as well. And I would rather support a company that's going support their device for a few years instead of consistently putting out new devices every three or four months. Is that device powerful, yes. More powerful then the stream deck, also yes. Will that device be supported for decent amount of time, most likely not. And what's the point of having the most powerful handheld if it loses support fairly quickly. An unoptimized device will crumble over time. Great hardware will always fall victim to bad software. And valve is making sure this doesn't happen with the steam deck. Which is why I'm happy with my steam deck, and will continue to support the company.

The hand feel is very important. The Steam Deck kept that as a priority. It FEELS like a comfortable situation. The ROG Ally Extreme feels Ok, if you buy a cover that enhances the grips. Without the cover , the Ally still feels like a handheld PC instead of a game console POWERED by a Pc. This thing looks nice, even though the Ally looks better. There’s some of these on my local offered up. I may trade with someone for this on the Legion Go. Even tho the Go LOOKS like it’s got comfy controllers, in exchange for “too big” device

Im confused why u said 6400mhz ram if the website says 7500mhz

(Activision & MWII) Could you look into this running on steam deck with windows I was game banned when doing this I have also seen other reports on the Internet of the same thing but know one is bringing this to light. As far as I can tell its to do with the anti cheat not recognizing the hardware.

instead of steam deck, I bought AOKZOE A1 for $467 closer to the 512gb steam deck. BEST Deal I had for a higher specs.

Please do a quick test with that 3060ti, I would rather a handheld that could dock and use my choice of GPU and not what the companies tell me I have to use I really don't like the way every company is going proprietary now for everything

I need steam deck with 4 cores and 780m (or just with 7840u)

You got something significantly superior to the Ally if you asked me

USB PD Spec is accurate. If you try to charge it on lower voltage, it won't be recognized. If you try to charge it in same voltage but with lower watt(amp), then you risk damaging the power supply. Please don't charge USB PD device on lower rated charger.

Seems more like a side grade than an upgrade to the ally. Inferior screen (and inferior resolution, 16:10 is a bad aspect ratio for handhelds because of the small screen and many games won't support it so you'll get black bars). Inferior speakers which will matter if you're not using headphones. The battery is a nice upgrade but having more ram is unnecessary for a handheld. For me, the biggest upgrade would be the hall effect joysticks, battery, and extra USB C port on the bottom.. but not worth sacrificing the screen or speakers for that, and definitely not worth $100 more

Also I read a lot of stuff online about Aokzoe’s customer support issues and lots of defective units and such. Eventually I preordered the Ally, mainly because I can buy it from a proper shop (with warranty) here in Australia. However I am disappointed that Asus didn’t do 32GB of RAM in their highest tier model. Especially at the moment with high VRAM usage in games. And that they skimped on the joysticks.

I dont even install games in my phone, is not design for that, and you will destroy your battery in a couple of months.

Why are they so expensive for a handheld? Why not just play mobile games?

...you're kidding right? You're comparing mobile games to handheld games?

What are you even doing here if you enjoy mobile games? If its a mobile game and it's not a MOBA, a shooter or a port, it's trash.

Because those are small independent projects that can't place order for 100 000 units like ASUS or Valve right away or assume they can sell at loss at the start. Same thing as with enthusiasts SFF cases.

Mobile games are BS, and phones are not designed to game, on screen keys is an awful experience, and you will destroy your battery in a couple of months.

@@lyoneel I'm clowning on souldemon about comparing handheld games to mobile games, but they're actually fine for the most part. If you buy at least $500 phones, they're well equipped to play the most intensive games well and not shorten battery life. But that's the point, good phones for gaming are almost as much as or even more expensive than handheld consoles. And handhelds also do not have those pesky microtransactions. Only game I really play on my phone is Wild Rift, League of Legends mobile basically. Used to play Genshin but it's much better to play on PC.
