Being a heavy user of the original Nintendo Gameboy and of Sega's Game Gear, I'm thrilled to see handhelds making a huge comeback. I own the ASUS ROG Ally and it's sooooo pleasant to use.

That's the one with better hardware than the Steamdeck, but is shipped with a worse OS, right?

worse OS

Not necessarily worse, it depends how you see it.

Windows lets me run my PC Gamepass for Xbox as well as Steam, retro console emulators, Python IDE etc, out of the box.

However, it doesn't let me suspend games and it sure is more taxing on the hardware to run.

As I'm not exclusively playing on Steam, the ROG is perfect for my needs.

I don't use any of the game-rental/pass services, so I hadn't considered that angle.

I am glad it suits your needs

You can use gamepass streaming on any system that has a Chromium browser

The base performance is the same but worse battery life because of the OS

but it has a performance mode that performs better but even worse battery life then a super performance mode where it has to be plugged in to use
