About four months ago, I ditched my Steam Deck for Asus’ ROG Ally. But with some distance, I’m going back to Valve’s handheld. Here’s why.

The Steam Deck and other handheld PCs also rocks for emulation, not only for light indie games.Here is a part of the article which bugs me a byte:
By nearly all objective measures, the ROG Ally is better than the Steam Deck. It has solid battery life, a nicer screen, more power, and Windows 11
Having Windows 11 on the device is not an objective measure to be better. If anything, this is a subjective matter. In my opinion Windows is far worse as an operating system for a handheld PC (or any PC at all). Sure you have more games to play with, but the usability and customization sucks, plus Microsoft is spying on you.
TwilightVulpine ( @TwilightVulpine@kbin.social ) 7•10 months agoEven by the standards of Windows, Windows 11 seems to be worse than 10.
donuts ( @donuts@kbin.social ) 4•10 months agoThe dumbest thing about that statement is that nothing stops them from installing Windows on the Deck. I would never want to, but if someone felt that Windows was truly better for the device they certainly have the option of using it.

Here’s a non-amp link.

elouboub ( @elouboub@kbin.social ) 1•10 months agoI’m honestly glad Valve has a headstart on ASUS. Now it’s a competition. ASUS can’t rest on its laurels and has to put it a lot of effort to catch up which means the Steam Deck is the gold standard right now.
