IS the ROG ALLY worth it vs a Steam Deck 1 year later?
I’ve had it since pre-release

Ran into the SD Card Slot issue but it didn't fry my card, just forced it out

hammered it with the XG mobile for 3 months and it still works great

graphics driver updates have been solid

battery life still sucks

Can get one as low as $455 on Best Buy open box

It really depends what games you want to play

destiny 2 works on Ally

Forza Horizon 5 runs at a locked 60fps at 900p mostly medium and high settings

STEAM DECK ON SALE

$296.65 for 64GB LCD

$381.65 for 256GB LCD

$549 for 512 OLED

$649 for 1TB OLED

Quite possibly the best way to install third party launchers onto your Steam Deck, whether it be Ubisoft Connect or the Epic Games Store, is the NonSteamLaunchers script. The script, which was created by moraroy, automatically downloads whichever launcher (and some streaming sites), downloads the latest Proton GE, installs all of it, adds it to Steam, and gives it a custom controller configuration. It all works extremely well, and it's one of my favorite ways to download and install launchers. Now, a new update is here, and it fixes some issues that were present if you have EmuDeck installed, too.

From the last update, there were some incompatibilities with EmuDeck and Steam Rom Manager specifically, but with the newest update, there should no longer be any errors! You may need to get rid of the previous NonSteamLauncher shortcuts so that the new version can remake them (no data should be lost). There were also some bugs fixed with shortcuts, will install correctly, and some moe code was optimized (huzzah!) We also have a better backup system for shortcuts with dated timestamps.

10:24 - this is where I say why not to buy the steam deck that's on sale and buy the OLED instead...

[mr.mister]

Don't buy the steam deck, buy this hardware that costs way more and has this history of issues that are still not resolved. What

[fantom]

please don't support the ROG Ally until they fix their customer service/waranty issues

[WedgeStratos]

Sorry, but a 512GB Steam Deck, even an LCD, is well worth it at $380, you get the 1-year warranty if something breaks, there's plenty of performance on the table, and I still jump between using it on-the-go, at home on my PC or plugged into my TV for big-screen gaming. I don't anticipate any sale on the OLED until we get to maybe the autumn or winter sale.

[TheZirodent]

Watching your video...yeah, just ordered steam deck on the discount.

[rouvencocker]

Bought a 64gb a year ago, upgraded it to a 1tb. I travel have kids, best purchase in my life. Runs 7th gen on max and 8/9 on med.

[hirengandhi]

I literally just ordered one this morning, was on the fence but glad I ordered feel good. Now just gotta wait for it to come in. My first steam deck.

[Eduardo-igqm]

I've been using the 64gb version for almost a year now, with a 512gb SD card. I'd absolutely recommend people buy it at this price

[continental_consumer]

"Don't buy this convinient portable PC/Console with its own custom OS and new features for a cheap price, Buy this buggy one with 0 original features built off one of the worst operating systems for 3x the price instead! It has a little bit more power so its all worth it!!"

[PartyUpLive]

I avoided the ROG Ally mostly because of the Micro SD issues. Now I'm avoiding it because of the recent issues that has come to light about Asus's customer service and warranty issues. (Stealth Edit: Also, the lack of a track pad, which has been extremely helpful when navigating the Steam Deck, especially in Desktop Mode).

Just ordered a OLED Steam Deck. The OLED Switch screen is amazing, so can't wait to see the OLED SD screen once it arrives.

Just got my Steam Deck yesterday and very happy with it.

[judasblack]

Some people told me not to buy one as if I was an infant child which all tubers do with products…I BOUGHT ONE ANYWAY AND I HAVENT PUT IT DOWN YET. People, buy whatever you want to that fits your needs.

[ArgntOrange]

Swear to god they could bury the ally if they bribed bungie to get their head out of their ass about Linux

[andreaspatsalides]

Buy the 64GB model then install a 1TB M.2 ssd for $100

[bradlauk]

I have an LCD. Considering it's literally half the price I think it's fine.

I'll look at getting. The OLED when the deck 2 comes around but there's 0 reason to think this isn't a perfectly servicable option for those on a budget.

[smidlee]

I disagree. Theses LCD deck gives you the most for the buck. I own a OLED Deck but still think the 512Gb LCD is the better deal.

[ShamanWillYT]

I posted on your last video that my steam deck was bricked after the update, I had to reimaged the deck, but everything’s working again. I only play cloud gaming on it. It works great.

[サイバー狼]

Forza 5 did run good at one point on the steamdeck with graphic settings set to high with a fps cap at 40 with no problems, but after the lastest rally dlc it hasnt been running as good as it once did...

[coachk]

I use my Ally a lot. Game pass is great on it and Steam big picture mode works great.

[kubuntukowalski]

I bought a used deck 64gb lcd and its amazing, glad I did! Can do so much with it.
