On 15 w both consoles have the same performance

@@MatiX415that's not true at all. Especially after firmware updates the Ally is significantly better on lower wattages

@@officerminiwheats idk about 15w now but its not better on 12 or 10w for sure, you cant change that

I remember Sony Vaio XP OS handheld pc. It was 2500 dollars.

Lol no absolutely not

It’s different versions to the steam deck tho. It’s best to get the 649 one from them. Some people getting cheaper versions

​@@cameelahcarterAll versions have the same performance. The main difference is storage

they should made handheld that can run games 4k 60fps on medium setting with atleast 4 hours battery while playing demanding gamws

@@misterlove7895 Modern Consoles cant even hit 4K 60 in modern games anymore, doubt handhelds will in the near future

SD is most optimise on 10W, plays a lot of new games and some AAAs with only 9 or 10W TDP with solid 30fps lasting around 3hrs playtime. No other PC handheld can beat that as of now.

​@@cocobosAlly got new update significantly upped it's low TDP performance..... Also Ally non Extreme version was leaked to have superior performance from 9-13W to anything else in the market

@@TRX25EX the update just bring back the old performance before the 317, still pretty bad in 10w and about the same with 15w in some games. The non extreme will perform worse, because of the cut. It's the same architecture with the Extreme.

@@cocobos no it will perform better, 6600U already beat Steam Deck in 9-13W scenarios and 7640U is a better version of that.... Due to it's less frequencies and less cores it's more efficient hence more effective at low TDPs

@@TRX25EX Hopefully, if it really perform in low power, I think its way better than the Extreme version.

The correct term is 'Addictive', not 'Addicting'.

Yeah, Turbo should not have even been used. And not seeing Silent mode at all was a big miss. I would have liked to have seen Dave the Diver at the Silent mode, which normally runs games as low as 7watts.

I noticed Turbo mode is being overused in the comparisons. Indeed, it's only really useful when docked or tethered to a power brick. I don't think it's a good comparison. It's good to have this kind of competition and interest in this space. Valve really popularized the mobile PC gaming category. I really didn't expect the Steam Deck to be such a hit.

@@Orangejulius8ay it still counts

I disagree. You don’t buy an ROG ally to use for performance mode only. It’s simple. If you value battery life over performance, get a steam deck. If you value performance over anything, get an ROG ALLY The overall winner is Ally because you have BOTH options Deck is limited to 15 Watt, even plugged in. Thus, again, ROG ally has a huge advantage when plugged in turbo mode which is the reason why you’d buy it in the first place.

Why doesn't the device realise it doesnt need the extra watts and just decrease it or increase it automatically?

Brasil

It also seemed low to me based on the other tests

una pregunta por favor… cuando tu usas “Cual” y cuando tu usas “Que”? Soy nuevo en español. gracias

@@saebeeski “Cual” se refiere a una comparativa o saber sobre algo que como en este caso se puede ver o apenas observar. “Qué” es para preguntar sobre algo que definitivamente no sabes lo que es, lo cual genera más incertidumbre. No olvidar que en este contexto “qué” lleva acento, el cual se usa para preguntar.

@@shido00000 gracias! 🤍

Buy a Legion Go. Is better

​@@SuperSR101 Too f'n expensive. But LeGo is the best handheld for now imo

ROG Ally

if you want very refresh rate in VRR I suggest the rug and I as it's bette

Steam deck oled.

That's the device we need. Having owned both, I'll have to keep the SD for now. The Ally's internals and screen are far superior to the SD, but SteamOS is night and day better than dealing with Windows and it's not even close.

I won't buy an Ally if it was not a windows. I mean seriously I don't want to be locked on Steam OS.

naa dejémoslo así. Está lleno de canales de teléfonos.

Same i was like bro that's a cap 😂😂

agreed i like pc mods and they don't mesh well with the steam deck, i have bricked 2 .

​@@X862goyou've bricked two steam decks with mods?!

@@vicrattlehead5051 yeah

@vicrattlehead5051 by bricked, I just mean everything went black, and nothing would boot at all. I would have to pull the m.2 flash it and then re-download the steam recovery image. It's really fixing sucks after the second time I stopped modding games on the Deck. Maybe one or two mods, but definitely not 100+ like I was doing. Now I only do pc mods on rog Ally.

Exactly

Still like your ally?

Which one is better ? I own a pc gamer but idk what to choose between steam deck and ally

Rog ally @@JURO768KUJO

If you play a lot on PC get steam deck might be cheaper now.

El único problema que le veo a la Steam Deck es la calidad de la pantalla. Es demasiado pobre. Creo que se pasaron de recorte presupuestal para ese componente. Del resto, me encanta.

@@libardomm.trasimaco nah, esta bien para lo que es. Lo que si me gustaria es que la ROG ally tuviera una pantalla de menor Calidad (720p) pero con ese tamaño seguiria teniendo aun un buen dpi y un procesador de 6 nucleos.... que los actuales son los componentes que realmente matan la bateria y si estan muy infrautilizados (aunque es mas que obvio que lo hiciero para que compres su chingadas egpus)

valve falls bad

@@mikelyonson what

loving a company is weird

@@KingVulpes I think steam deck to cause toxicity more than help.

I chose the Deck because I play a lot of cursor reliant games like RTS and Open Source projects like MegaMek. Those trackpads are a godsend. I can't even IMAGINE playing multiplayer C&C with joysticks.

I am getting tired of my steam deck crashing so this is good to know.

me too here, gettin fedup with the performance and sometime battery last about 1hour20min max when playing decent game like shadow of tomb raider at medium preset. ​@@unbrokenandunchartedb3239

And half the time you still can’t play them on low on the deck, need cryoutilities, power tools etc.

Emulation is also much better. I had to mess with powertools forever to get Dolphin games to run correctly on the Deck, and even then had issues with stutter in some games. Everything on my Ally has been smooth sailing.

​@@RiftFishingexactly, i don't get the windows nitpicks, u don't have to look for work arounds to run all the other launchers like gamepass, epic, etc plus armory crate, ayaspace, etc syncs it all in one place, but the way they comment u would think it's a nightmare just turning it on and trying to start a game lol the hate is so overblown, not to mention it's only getting better with updates just like the steam deck needed...side note, that native landscape vrr screen on that rog is awesome

​@@melxbyea, even windows on Steam Deck is pretty easy to play with. And the battery with windows isn't that bad in comparison with Steam OS.

@@melxb I got the Steam Deck a few months after release and it was still a nightmare in some places software wise, I had plenty of times the system just locked itself up and I couldn't do anything except hard reboot. I've had probably around the same amount of issues with my Ally, but far less frustrating overall because you don't have to jump through so many hoops to get certain games running. The 120hz freesync display is also so nice. Can't understate how much of a difference that makes compared to the steam deck when you're dealing with low power PCs. If you're okay with just playing specific games on the Steam Library, I think Steam Deck is still a perfectly valid choice. But I agree that people majorly overblow how 'bad' windows is, when I would spend hours tweaking my Deck to try and get certain games or launchers working, when it's a few presses of the button with windows and maybe an occasional wrong sized window. You can also totally set up your ROG to boot Steam Big Picture on startup if you want, and still have access to all the nice windows launchers and features in the background.

hell nah not for someone that cares about display and running games at higher graphics settings and who has no care for playing rts type games, so not needing pads, plus those that do there is the ayaneo kun coming with pads and similarly more powerful with a better screen and the biggest battery yet in a handheld, u get hall effect everything, VRR, so many more important things justifying a lot of that price difference, at least to me

the deck is already creaking imo

@@melxbi mean yeah if u enjoy playing a pretty looking game for 45 - 55 minutes xd

​@@cyphermain21i play all my handhelds 99% at home while wired even the switch, heck even my phone watching content, etc u name it all my devices...out in the hustle and bustle sucks in comparison, maybe at work on a 20 30 min break tops or i guess back in school/college btw classes, so that's enough time, but even then it doesn't compare to playing at home in peace on the bed or couch without noise and people, worse lighting conditions etc u just end up more immersed/playing the game at a chill pace in that environment...and in general just don't travel enough for battery to matter to me like that and the times i do travel 9 times out of 10 my focus is elsewhere and with people which is just not ideal for gaming...so yeah battery definitely is another aspect that doesn't matter to me at all really and i think it's like that for the majority of people, they may bring it up in comments but for real are at a plugs reach and there are solutions like battery banks etc...for those where battery matters, well ull have to play it at those low settings like the deck, switch, etc to get somewhere decent with it, I'm good on that personally...i love handheld tech, love small screens where games still look clean and gaming up close and personal with controls right by the screen is why i prefer handheld gaming in case u then comment why not just stick to console and pc if u are wired anyways, it's for the different feel/more comfortable feel...oh well it is what it is until we see advancements in that department 🤷‍♂️

They're the same price. Even the cheaper versions of the Deck require a storage upgrade equaling the price.

they are pc's more than consoles

Xbox making one, it's been in development before they even release SeriesX/S

@@Futura2500tecnicly every console is a PC but the difference is having their own OS.

gunna be in future imagine a 4k handled pc

@@Futura2500 All of these handhelds are PCs. Whether it's the steam deck or the Ally. Both can run Linux and Windows

Ally has the better internals (and screen) but Steam Deck has the better hardware (external) and far better software/OS.

ROG is not very user friendly like the DECK so I've heard. Happy to see competition but DECK took everything in consideration.

@@Dragonfury3000 the things I love about the deck is how personal you can make it with the Deckyloader software. Also valves proton along with the community proton does optimizations for games that don't entirely require the developer of the games help. But even then, some devs make steam deck specific updates. I feel when valve makes steamOS open other handhelds may benefit from it

@@Dragonfury3000 the ally is very user friendly so long as you know windows - i struggle more with linux and the desktop tbh

@@Futura2500 yeah same, But I kinda gotten use to it, I had a hard time installing better discord on my Deck, but I gotten frustrated with windows over the years like the search function doesn't search correctly, and it annoys me that the file I'm searching for redirects to a web search 😞

amen to that.

new fannboy communities are created by these handhelds.

deck fanboys get so sour 😂

They both suck battery wise so why not get one that's more powerful and runs less hot.

For a 1 hour and a half

@@evil_chuck and does it matter half an hour less or more...

Its cool to see a new trend of these machines but I do value the ROG for competing the deck and almost being better but unfortunately in what really matters in a portable system is the realibity in battery life during most games that are not so demanding.

@@evil_chuck Identical to the steam deck when in the mode most people will use

True but the software and battery is a deal breaker
