Does anyone else have a ROG Ally? - Little Matcha Girl - Jan 3rd, 2025
I have this Windows handheld, had it since the initial release, it's been amazing for playing PC games in handheld mode. A little lighter than the Steam Deck and quite a bit more powerful, so I definitely don't regret my decision of getting it. Anyone else have this, or a similar Windows gaming handheld?

Ohhh this is the ASUS iteration of the Steam Deck/Switch, right? I've heard good things about it. How much do those things go for? I just got a 512GB LED Steam Deck for @Moonface for Christmas at 25% off MSRP, so it wasn't a big hit to the wallet.
What games have you tried on it so far?

I don't have one for the reason already given above, but I also have never really seen much reason to take interest in other handheld gaming devices over the Steam Deck, partly because beyond the initial announcements I never really see anything about them after to even know how they are performance wise or anything.
From what you wrote it sounds like it has advantages over the Deck, but I'm curious if that comes at the cost of anything else such as battery life and whatnot.

I've never heard of ROG Ally before, but I haven't really delved into the world of PC handheld gaming before, only knew of Steam Deck and assumed there'll be others but just not looked myself. Did look it up and seems pretty good, just not really in my needs for now, after spending quite a bit on a phone to play some games on already, as well as a gaming laptop in the last couple or so years.

I was curious if it featured the ability to dock like the Switch and Steam Deck do and it turns out this does it too. Although I don't know any of the other various handhelds out there now I would assume if they lack that feature they're probably dead in the water against the rest of the competition.
