I agree! I literally sold my desktop to a family member because I found myself not using my steam deck enough. Now i use it for my desktop and handheld and I am loving every bit of it!

As someone who actually sold their Steam Deck OLED for a Legion Go, I acknowledged that the OLED is the best device for probably 95% of people - it’s just fantastic and the best “pick up and play” device on the market, with very little downside. I personally enjoy the large screen and windows on the legion go (which is why I traded it out) but for most people, you cannot possibly go wrong with the oled.

I have a LCD steam deck and I have been in love with the fact that I can play games that I love to play at my desk anywhere I want now. I do wish Destiny 2 was usable within steam os and not have to dual boot off an external ssd like I am but, at least I still have that option for when I want to do some strikes while in bed and not have to go to my game room for it. I just bought the Master Chief Collection because it was on sale for $9.99 and I cannot believe that one of the best games that existed while I was growing up is now portable and somehow runs at 60fps with no hiccups.

Sd lcd was the future of pc gaming gba style

I've had my LCD Deck for a little over a month now, I'm in love with it all besides the battery and screen... Considering upgrading soon, FOMO is hitting hard.

If you mainly want to play Steam games this is the PERFECT device. However a lot of PC games requiring Anti-Cheat limits it heavily. For me if you can game on PC you can easily game on a Windows handheld. The ROG Ally X sits atop of the mountain. It's a fantastic time to be a gamer with all the options available.

I have mine for almost 2 weeks and I like this thing a lot and the feature of custom controls with gyro, touchpads and performance per game, is a thing that is not available on the other devices. I wanted a console-like experience without the hassle of windows (as I have with my gaming laptop, not always just sit and play). I do like the Oled screen with HDR support and it plays my games well. I don't have much of a library on the launchers on PC as I do on my PS5 (mainly console gaming as it is convenient), but now I have Steam with frequent deals and I got to customize it like I did with my PSP, custom sounds, can change the cover art of games, themes and the good old startup animations (had Bioshock Infinite on PSP game startups). I almost got the Legion Go, but the cons of it having it a louder fan, too heavy for my wrists in handheld and that it is windows, but then the Steam Deck stood out and I don't regret the Oled since it's my first Deck.

I am playing Just Cause 3 on High 45fps 90hz without any issue, Warframe looking good too and so on. I also like to not sit at the desk a lot since I do that at my job, so this display is big enough to play the games without a struggle and it also has a magnify mode with Steam button and L1 if reading some is a struggle or usefull if you want to check someting in game where the zoom helps.

After daily driving both, I have to say the Steam Deck OLED is the way to go. The console-like approach is much more accessible for everyone, and Valve offers impeccable customer service. There's something about Valve's secret sauce at 15 watts that makes a noticeable difference. Compared to the ROG Ally, running at 15 watts, the Steam Deck absolutely outperforms it. Windows UI is also problematic in a handheld form factor. If you're not tech-savvy and want to avoid PC troubleshooting, steer clear of the ROG Ally. Personally, I've had to reimage it twice to fix multiple issues, not to mention I had to send in for RMA for right stick drift. In contrast, I've encountered no technical issues with my Steam Deck (whether it's LCD or OLED). What people need to remember is that numbers on paper don't always translate to real-world performance in the handheld PC market. I made the mistake of choosing the ROG Ally thinking it would outperform the Deck. However, I quickly discovered that its SOC isn't as power-efficient as the Van Gogh SOC in the Deck, leading to significant battery drain when pushing the ROG Ally at 30 watts.

@cheeeeezewizzz

I don't think that should be accurate. At 15w the ROG posts better numbers in games. The Steam deck performes really well around 8-10w but past 12w every other modern handheld leaves it in the dust.

@DylanParisMusic Ok, now I know who am I dealing with. Have a nice day.

I have a LCD Deck that I have installed Bazzite on and have decided that it is mainly going to be used for PS1, PS2 and PSP emulation. I do most of my game playing on my OLED Deck (still on SteamOS, but once Bazzite fully supports it, I will switch). I have been using Linux desktops since the mid 2000's and been gaming on them a couple years before the original Steam Machines launched (Wine kind worked for a couple of my games). I am so thankful Value has been working with CodeWeavers on Proton. The Steam Deck is the gaming device I have always wanted and I am very happy with it. I am still looking forward to a proper new controller, new Steam Machines and the next Deck as well. Happy gaming!

If I want to play offline for months in the middle of nowhere switch is better or steam deck can work for months without internet?

Imo at least double the performance (GPU wise) with 50% or so better single core IPC with 4-16 hours of playing time would be a worthwhile upgrade target. Imo keeping it to 4 cores would be ideal since its a linux based system you save a lot on overhead and for gaming you don't really need more cores especially with 60hz gaming (which is what they should be targeting for power efficiency sake).

I totally agree with OLED... I love OLED, got OLED monitors, TV, handhelds, and when I go back to some LCD for a reason or another, I see a huge difference. Black not being totally black is the biggest. I can't go back. I need OLED or I eventually gave up when it's LCD

If it performs the way I expect I plan to sell both my Steam Deck OLED and Rog Ally on Ebay within a month.

Suspend feature is good but rinses the battery. I'd love to see a steam console unit which you could port around the house from pc monitor to TV. A 4k 60 fps steam console would be amazing.

As someone who owns the switch, switch lite and steam deck… I prefer the switch lite the most. I never realized how much the form factor mattered to me. I’d pick my miyoo mini as 2nd fav. handheld right now. I end up playing most of my steam games on my pc.

i still got the og it works fine for me as for everything else its the price and windows that why i haven't switched

I have a couple handhelds and the steam deck oled is still my go-to device. The windows handhelds just have so many more random issues mainly due to the platform itself. ASUS, and the other manufacturers have decent software to help, but it's still an OS developed for keyboard and mouse.

Tbh i started with a steam deck and after 6 months sold it for the ally rog. I didn’t want to like it at the start however it won me over and I sold the steam deck. Battery wise it’s now up there with the deck due to adjustable fan curves. I’m now getting the ally x and could never return back to the deck again especially with an 80w battery and 24gb ram.

For me Steam Deck OLED being the best *overall* handheld. Its like pretty good in every category. - The specs are not the best, but its very close to Ally Z1 Extreme in gaming (on handheld mode) - Battery life its probably the best out there for a handheld, only beaten by a Switch. But Switch's performance is _far_ worse. - 90hz with no VRR support maybe turn off for some, but its an OLED display. - Long term support from Valve - Good price (not too expensive like some of the other Windows based handhelds) With the ROG Ally X coming out very soon, I'm not sure how will the SD Oled will fare, but its going to have more ram and double battery life over original Z1.

If I wanted to, I don't mind putting Windows on it. I think that's the big question because either device is essentially a PC.

On the other hand,the Ally (and others) and just regular Windows and some games might not fire up immediately or are poorly optimized? More like Android (like the wild west) vs Ios (more focused and optimized where 8GB means much more than in other devices). I dunno what I would be playing,but if it was today, it would be Hades 2, No Rest for the Wicked (when I get it), Baldurs Gate 3... Also,can the Ally run music production programs?

@adds-kz3oc pls explain,in your experience the pros and cons

I've got the steamdeck oled for indie games and the rog ally for "bigger" games. In total i like the rog ally a lot more and i think i will sell my steamdeck. The reasons are: Better Hybrid support. You can plug it in your monitor or tv and you can play all your games in 1080p without problems. On the steamdeck you can only play with 800p (this is too less pixels for a bigger screen) or you must quit the game, change to desktop mode and then you can enable 1080p. But most games can't run with 1080p on the steamdeck. Better performance: Every big new game runs on my ally with 18 watt 1080p upscaling with 40 fps or more. A lot of games can't handle 30 fps on the steamdeck. I like the windows software more than steamdeck os. For me, the steamdeck os had much more problems than windows. For example is the standby time very terrible on the steamdeck. In one night the steamdeck looses 10 % in standby mode. Windows maybe 1 %.

I loved my ally z1e way more than my steam deck hell i even like my odin 2 more than my steam deck i think the ally x will be the best handheld overall cant wait for mine

Windows is honestly ass. You can’t control anything, and are always forced to set up and update. Linux however, you have much more control over everything, better emulation. Etc.

@Dadolphin you don't need to control everything. Have you ever broken a linux distro? When it comes to gaming I don't need better control, I just need performance and compability. Nvidia drivers are still proprietary, not all features work on linux. Linux is ass when it comes to gaming and it is second rate when compared to Windows, where everything works. And that is what pc gaming is all about, no restrictions, as linux is just compromise after compromise.

@Dadolphin tell, what does that full control give you? It is a limiting gaming experience.

What a stupid take. The ouya is the best console ever

Steam deck is too weak. Sold that junk right away

Runs almost every game for me. Sold then ROG Ally x because it constantly needed me to do a lot of stuff I had no time for. Nothing difficult just border some and time consuming.

@@2greenify I need more than just running games. I was looking for good performance and the steam deck just couldn’t deliver. Yes I spent an hour or so setting up my Rog ally but after that I just boot up my system and play games right away from the built in launcher armoury create. Never have to look at windows again if you don’t want to.

@@BigWisper fair point about more performance, but the ally also runs into performance issues, just later. And has much worse battery time and a worse screen, although good enough. For that I can use my laptop that has a bigger screen. Also with the ROG you have to update manually or do other setups that go automatically with the steam deck. But I get the performance part, some games I just don't run on my deck, just like not everything ran on my Nintendo switch.

@@BigWisper The Steam Deck OLED is a total game-changer. It’s rugged, powerful, and hands down the best handheld gaming experience out there; nothing else even comes close. BigWisper, maybe that’s why yours fell short-this one dominates, simply any other handheld.

@@HK416Zzz.. The Steam deck Oled isn’t powerful at all. It struggles with big games such as cyberpunk, starfield and horizon. Only way I could ever recommend a steam deck is if you only play smaller games and don’t care about performance.

Can you play the same game on steam deck and pc , keeping save points ?

yes. Almost whatever you have on steam is seamless.

Yep! One of my favorite features! I use the deck and my desktop like a “super switch” (although basically 10x the cost of a switch at that point lol)

Whoever waste their money on the Rog Ally X is a fool, you are still not going to see much of a difference, it's a handheld gaming device, you will still be held back as the AMD z1 extreme CPU/GPU is not that strong. Good luck buying Asus Products. I don't think I'll ever buy another Asus product

It's way stronger than the steamdeck. Also has better ports for egpu support to upgrade performance if the user wants. Has VRR support which is insanely important when playing demanding games.

ROG Ally 2 (when it comes out) will have a better APU than ROG Ally or Ally X. Nothing wrong with Ally X though I feel. Just buy it at a discounted price, don’t buy at full price immediately as it will be made obsolete quickly.

The Ally X will be a great device (prob the top one for a while). Assuming that beefy battery gives more than just an hour of extra play time. But I agree, I would not buy an Asus product and also it's $800. The steamdeck 2 will be glorious.
