Whoever came up with the idea to have the pulsing white circle appear on your graphs so people can more quickly and easily reference the metrics you are referring to deserves a raise. It made viewing your graphs and data pages SO MUCH BETTER!

A Steam Deck feature offer overlooked is its console-like sleep function. As a parent with small children, being able to put my game down at a moment’s notice is a must.
@IOUaUsername
Every time they talk about these things I start wanting one, but then I remember that whenever go anywhere but home, I'm busy doing things that aren't gaming.

I have had no problems whit rog ally. Its been a blessing and it plays everything i put at it smoothly i love it havent used main pc for a while. Recommend it 10/10 im using z1 extreme
@VSaturn-X
The biggest advantage the ROG Ally has over the Steam Deck for me is that the Ally will be available in my country unlike the Deck.
@wizpig64
No regrets with my steam deck but i'm glad there's competition pushing things along.
@riveraluciano
The Ally LOOKS promising, but with their current track record (see Asus' last debacle with AMD CPUs), the lack of support for repairability, Armoury Crate and overall software (and what that entails), I am not so sure I want to give this one a go. It sure is tempting to go for this instead of a Steam Deck, but given it's an ASUS product, I'm holding my breath to be honest, even if it means having less performance, "worse" audio and a worse screen. At the most, I'll take another look at this one in about 4 months, to see if there have been any actual positive changes.

I love how you just tell it how it is even when sponsored
@smashishere
Valve already innovates a lot even when they have zero competition, I'm excited to see how this will push them.
@youtubeviewer4489
I love the fact that these handheld devices are becoming a thing. Very convenient form factor.
@TheNiteNinja19
I'm torn because I like this device, but ever since Asus is being scumbags about their AM5 boards, I don't know if I can back them.
@ahmedelsayed3133
You overlooked a lot of important points: 1- The sleep mode that Valve offers. 2- The Gyroscope. 3- Some games are optimized specifically from the developers of these games to run better on the Steam Deck. 4- The automatic controller layouts for the Steam Deck. 5- The big community behind Steam Deck that offers software optimizations for it. 6- Driver and software optimizations made from Valve developers to overcome some games' issues that are not fixed on Windows. 7- Asus bad reputation when it comes to faulty hardware products and customer support. 8- You can buy Steam Deck for $400 and buy SD card, and it is much cheaper than ROG Ally.
@ChrisSonPEI
Not enough for me to ditch my deck, but enough for me to know that the next gen of handhelds will be a must have for me. Time to start saving.
@OccAZNion
Just shows you how important software is for the deck punching above its weight. Imagine the Ally’s hardware with Valve’s programming and joysticks/touchpads.
@simplyscholar21
Just remember not to enable Expo or the warranty is void. GG ASUS.
@lifelesme
I know they don't often bring up 3rd party stuff when it comes to hardware (unless its the only way to get stuuff working) but i think it deserves a mention that steam deck can install plugins to get aaround some issuues, such as the "searching protonDB to see if your game is compatible" a plugin fixes that by adding the ratiing for the game selected game menu. Also you can improve performance on the steamdeck with tweaks from "CryoUtiliities". Although I know this wiill get lost in the void of comments I think its worth mentioning anyway.
@Ivwin
The button sticking issue is an actual gamebreaker for me. The fact that they knew about the issue and didnt fix it makes me feel like they wont support this very well... Stuff like that is a huge red flag for me...
@pitdoctor
Based on how ASUS has been acting recently I would be terrified to buy one of these. If you do buy one, you better hope it doesn't break, cause their shady asses are going to be a huge pain to work with.
@RichardJobity
Asus being less than honest with data with their product seems to be a trend recently. They may say that upclocking their device might void the warranty.
