So I’ve has the original SD for 5 months and sold it. Now with the Oled remake I am really starting to have an ich to get back to on-the-go gaming. But Ally is looking nice as well with all the support Asus is providing. Of course Valve is miles ahead in terms of community and developer support but it looks like Asus is punching back.

So my question is to the people who have tried both devices and can tell objectively which do they prefer and why.

Thanks in advance

    So i had the LCD steamdeck and loved it for a time and then got my hands on the Ally. The screen and speakers were so much better that I ended up switching and selling my lcd steamdeck. Now with the OLED i have switched back to the steamdeck because of two reasons. One is I really missed the pause and resume feature of the SteamDeck. The ally would crash my games a lot of times or they would not work right on resume. The other is the battery life is horrible on the ally. It’s nice to have the steamdeck again and a good battery life when playing indie games. The OLED screen for sure beats the ally. Also it seems that certain games just plain work better with the steamdeck right when you install them and with the Ally you will need to tinker with it for a bit to get the games working right. Overall after having both i would pick the steamdeck over the ally or any windows handheld.

      Thank you for sharing, this is what I was asking. Crashing games if you sleep your system is not my cup of tea. And I don’t like the battery comments as well. Food for thought
