Asus ROG is entering the ring with their own Zen4 RDNA3 handheld, the ROG Ally, and we've got an early look at it. We won't know the price until closer to launch, but so far it's pretty impressive.

I've seen you guys and other outlets focus a lot on "Steam Deck competitors" lately, and really.. they are not competitors if they aren't within ball-park of the Steam Deck pricing. That is exactly what made the deck so popular. It delivers a lot for the price. These hand held PCs existed before the deck, but were always overpriced. They didn't make much of a dent in the market. We simply need more competition within the deck pricing or nearby it.

@sovo1212 Рік тому
Keep in mind the Steam Deck wasn't released in most countries, so these companies don't need to worry about competing with a nonexistent product. So, I'd say at a sub-800 USD price it'll still be the best option for most people.

@Anaeijon Рік тому
And the left trackpad for radial menus to access hotkeys is pretty important for PC games. And the capacitive pad on the joystics, for example to activate motion control and automatically switch to aiming mode once you touch the right joystick. Things like that are super innovative, really intuitive and should be copied by everyone. But seems like those are the things no one copies.

The quiet fans are quite impressive and make this device stand out. I would really like to see a full comparison with the GPD Win4. I'm gonna get that one soon, simply because of the keyboard, and use it as my main PC (replacing my laptop). I think this is an aspect most people are not aware of in this product category; being able to carry your computer with you anywhere (without needing a backpack) and still have that high performance at home (Ryzen 6800U + eGPU via USB4) is an unbeatable perk. It's what the future should look like and what I've dreamed of since the first UMPCs (like Vaio UX) came out in 2006.
@little_fluffy_clouds Рік тому
I got rid of my GPD Win Max because the fans are super loud. My Steam Deck is also noisy, has poor battery life and the screen isn’t great, only passable. Still waiting for an OLED PC handheld with decent battery life.

@s4shrish Рік тому
I mean, let's be real, it's the Switch's 120 Million sales amount that put a loud signal that people wanted and will pay for a portable home console experience (especially over the WiiU which had similar level of games including Nintendo "Magic", just distributed worse). Valve just did it in a way that it ia truly console-like and with the associated QOL stuff. Heck, some of the Valve stuff is getting better than console (like Steam Remote Play), but that just makes a non-valve PC experience much worse by comparison. This ASUS ROG device seems to have some custom stuff, but only time will tell if can suspend games and put the system to sleep without hicccups. Downloading whilst asleep is still a big question and so is wakeup by wireless controller.

Asus has been killing it. I'm a huge Steam Deck fan. I pre-ordered within 30 minutes of release and spend 80% of my gaming time on the Deck (despite owning a PS5 and desktop PC with Ultrawide monitor.) I adore the Deck so much. But if this thing is seriously that much more powerful, the price is $800 or under and they can get the software experience at least in the same ballpark as Valve (Valve absolutely knocked it out of the park with the console like experience) I will be happy to upgrade. With just how much I love my Steam Deck I would be willing to spend up for a beefier version. If Valve released a Steam Deck Pro for like $800 with solid upgrades I would buy it tomorrow. The handheld gaming experience is probably my favorite tech product of the past 10 years. The Oculus Quest 2 was probably the most exciting during lockdown. I've been a VR fan for awhile now, buying the first gen Oculus Rift relatively early on. But the standalone capabilities of the Quest was amazing. Being able to go down to my apartment parking garage and play Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners without having to worry about any sort of space constraint was incredible. I never felt as immersed in VR as I did that day. Higher end PC/PSVR be damned. The tethered nature makes it so much less novel and a clear step back imo. But I'm getting off topic. The Quest 2 was amazing but after a couple of months I would only touch it maybe once a week. With the Deck, I was nearly as excited using it for the first time. But the difference is, that excitement never faded. I had to go without a car for a month and a half when mine was stolen and totaled. Then I was waiting on insurance to get me back on the road, the Deck was a godsend on my public transportation morning commutes. I can take it with me on camping trips. Spend 95% of the day unplugged and exploring nature, then spend an hour playing a game near the campfire before bed with a beer. Or on a plane with my Sony XM4's. It's just an amazing piece of tech at an amazing price.

Steam Decks trackpads makes some keyboard-only games playable on the deck. For example, radial menus for MMORPG's and unit selection on RTS games. If the Ally adds this, then I would buy this day one.

The steam deck is a lot more than just specs. Its power is in its software, and the level of support it gets, as well as the community that is behind it. There are now a significant number of steam deck alternatives with more powerful hardware, but none have dethroned the steam deck's popularity. As soon as Valve releases an updated steam deck, the software maintainability takes a hit, the user base gets fragmented.

Why do you think the software maintainability will take a hit? It's Linux and the architecture isn't exactly proprietary like big three console architecture is. I don't see it losing support.
