Don't buy a ROG ALLY, if you want a gaming handheld buy an Steam Deck OLED - here's why!

After roughly a month using the ROG Ally as his gaming/computer device, he concludes he would prefer Steam Deck OLED. He cites roughly $200 savings ($534 versus $699+), a superior OLED screen, longer battery life, trackpads, and four rear paddles. He acknowledges Ally’s Windows, power, and compatibility advantages, but favors OLED for gaming-first users; Windows can be installed separately.

Ally’s earlier ergonomic drawbacks become a broader rejection of performance over cost, battery life, and gaming-focused usability.
