Great that ASUS is helping handheld PC gaming advance but from a consumer perspective, I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone buying ASUS products.
Their customer service is legendary for being abysmal and for something like the Ally you need good support.

Or Windows products, for that matter.
Steam Deck is neither.
Yep. I’ve been so incredibly pleasantly surprised by my steamdeck. Gaming mode works so flawlessly, I haven’t had any problems getting any non steam games to run. Switching to desktop mode is so fast and even when there’s like 8Gb of os and app updates it’s done in minutes and the package manager is actually verbose and tells you exactly what it’s doing and how long it expects to take unlike windows updates. I can’t imagine dealing with windows on a handheld, especially once windows 10 goes EOL. I’m actually gearing up to switch my desktop over to Linux since I’ve been so pleased with gaming on the deck. People say windows “just works” but I’ve had way more issues with windows over the years than I have with my steamdeck so far.
Way too much bad press about Asus recently, can’t agree more. I’d still go for a steam deck first. They’re also helping Linux which I’m also in favor of 😂
Only $1300 to repair the screen. Unless there’s a nick on the plastic, then they want $6000.
If I haven’t seen the first 9, will I understand the plot of ROG Ally X?
I hope they go with Apple OSX numbering. This is the Ally X, next is the 10.1, 10.2 etc.
And after 10.15 they switch to 11, 12, 13, 14

There are too many handhelds coming out too fast that are too expensive with no differentiation.
I don’t know how long these companies are going to stay in the market.
