Why does everyone talk about the steam deck when the rog ally x is so much better and actually runs every game you throw at it?

Deck was marketed by Steam DRM heavily. There is no other reason. The marketing they did was outrageous and the Ally handhelds are not that far behind in sales even with that market push. The new xbox variant means the Ally will most likely ending up far past deck.

All you need to do is own a Deck or Switch 2 to see how weak they are and ask "where can I get actual performance".

No trackpads no buy
Also, not supporting windows. Ship it with steamos.

If I was buying a handheld to play AAA games on low settings for 40 minutes a pop, then yeah, I'd consider getting the Ally, but that's not really my use case, so I'm not interested.

This is a Valve board.

OP is saying Rog ally x. It's smaller, lighter, and has 1.5x the battery life of the steam Deck OLED. SteamOS isn't an issue since it takes a few minutes to install, same as the time you spend tinkering on the deck anyways.

Correct on trackpads though. I hope the Rog ally X2 has at least one trackpad for easier windows navigation.

It's a combination of Nintendo haters and Linux fags. They are a really loud minority.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is the top tier handheld ATM, because it supports steamOS and has better specs in every way.

Steam Deck is the brand name, basically. I have one, love it. Happy that were getting more hardware in this form factor.

Idk, Valve seems to be the only company that understands how to make that type of trackpad with good haptic feedback.

Tpbp, honestly this is the main factor. I'm not a brand fanatic, this is just a PC after all, but the OS is just fantastic and without touchpads the device is useless to me. They double as just about any key /macro /menu I could ever want

So why not just buy a laptop? It'd be far more versatile than just a portable gaming device.

I sold my deck because I don't go outside and even if I did go outside it wouldn't be to play games
