Remij 4,983 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) No it fucking isn't They said "best Windows 11 based" handheld PC dude.. Edited July 22 by Remij 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tainted 23 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Their conclusion said: "The fact is, if you want a handheld gaming PC that’ll run all of your PC games right out of the box, you’re going to need one of these Windows devices. The Asus ROG Ally X is the best one right now" Link to post Share on other sites

So what's more important?.... being able to play ALL your games on the device... which nobody does.... or actually having the right experience for a handheld for pretty much all your games? Steam Deck is far better. Better screen with the OLED, better experience overall, less hassle. IGN are retarded too.. so keep that in mind. Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,235 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 if this hits $599, it would be a no-brainer for someone looking into one of these machines. but i'll be sticking with the SD OLED until SD 2 drops. Link to post Share on other sites
Long Ball Larry 1,339 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I just don’t understand why anyone would want to play PC games at low settings for $500+ Link to post Share on other sites

I mean you play Switch.. handhelds have different expectations. Why wouldn't someone want to play their PC library portably instead of buying a "console handheld"? And you don't need to play everything on low settings on these devices. You can easily do medium/high in most games outside of the latest ones. Link to post Share on other sites

The reviewer mentions some windows issues but still declares that the Ally is the best PC handheld. Period. Also remember when you said I should emulate Jeanne D' Arc on my Ally instead on playing it on PS5? Well I recently realized that I could install the PS Remote Play app on my Ally and easily stream the PS5 version of the game directly to it. Getting all the benefits of a portable format + it being the best version of the game Can you do with the Deck? Nope Windows still offers so much more than SteamOS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nope SteamOS is too limited Dedicated a section specifically to it sucking for handhelds And yes, you can stream your PS5 to the Steam Deck... lmfao Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,983 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Oh and if you look at the comments for that article.. everyone is like "no thanks I'll stick with my Steam Deck until the Steam Deck 2 comes", not to mention bringing up Asus' shitty repair practices and the MicroSD card issues which still haven't been addressed Link to post Share on other sites
sugarhigh 597 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Latest version of Bazzite has full support for Ally X, so you can still get the SteamOS experience. Link to post Share on other sites

There are many reasons to go the PC route. Its biggest is having the largest library of games. Also, PC titles cost less, have incredible mod communities and the emulation scene is massive. But yeah, for enthusiasts, PC gaming offers the best visuals and performance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,983 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 1 hour ago, Tears of the Cows said: Switch games aren’t on PC whole point of PC is having the greatest hardware and graphics …. That doesn't matter. PC gets tons of games that aren't on Swith too. And nah, that's not the whole point of PC.. its part of it. The other parts include mods, backwards compatibility, shopping where you want, being able to tune games to your preference/hardware, controller customization, multitasking, and so on. The PC.. and by extension, the Steam and Steam Deck community are undoubtedly the top gaming community out there. I could list tons of reasons, but will have to wait until I'm not at work lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,274 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Twinkie has been fighting this fight for 3 years now. It only took him buying what, 3-4 handhelds before his finally got his Steamdeck killer he always wanted? Money well spent TB, money well spent... Link to post Share on other sites
