People are already beginning to ditch their Steam Decks for the ASUS ROG Ally - but why?

To me the most important hardware is the battery. Doesn’t matter how powerful the chips are.
There’s no way you’re getting that 40CU 16-core APU in a handheld. That’s too hot and power hungry for that. The highest end APU they’re suggesting is going to end up in gaming laptops that can cool a 100W chip.
I think these articles get things a little out of perspective, Steam Deck has sold around 3 million and Switch has sold 140 million. But if you are browsing certain parts internet you'd think the Steam Deck had sold over 100 million. If articles are going to continue to circulate like this and continue to put the Steam Deck in the same arena then I'm comfortable calling the device a flop.
sure but theres still a limit to what u can put in there ha. power consumption would be the biggest hurdle. and cooling.
I wana try out a pc handheld but I would like to experience a steady framerate etc I don't wana have to keep going into my settings trying to make things smoother in gameplay, that's the only thing that's been keepin me from getting one I've heard others having to go into the settings time from time that'll be annoying

Did ASUS just hint that a black version of their ROG Ally handheld PC may be on the way?
lol in your dreams
How so if it just came out today? This isn't true at all, but carry on.
I’m picking mines up in about 1 hour so we’ll see. I’m just excited it has native GamePass that’s what made me buy it .
I suppose the more enthusiast people are. Don't think those with a budget and more casual crowd are.
Nothing to see here, just propaganda.
