I am a steam deck user, i love steam OS, it allows me to game even though I became a dad. I love how fast sleep/wake is, love trackpads and extra buttons. Now what I dont love is the screen, I am an OLED lover, I used OLED for PS5 and PC, so steam deck screen looks really bad in comparison so I decided I would upgrade to an OLED, however now I am thinking should I consider asus or lenovo hendhelds? I hated windows on SD, I had dual boot on 2 TB but ended up formating and leaving Steam OS only, I also hate the fact that asus and lenovo dont have trackpads, however I am tempted by extra performance. SD is great for back logs and indi games but modern AAA titles not ao much. Would like to know your thoughts, what would you get SD oled or something else? PS. I will be selling or giving away my current SD, so buying Ally and keeping SD as well is not an option, also forget about price difference, I know SD is better bang for buck but is Ally or Go any better of priced the same ?

    I’m actually looking to sell my Ally and get the OLED.

    As much as I thought I’d like the better performance, it’s marginal at 15w, and 30w only works when plugged in anyway, and I’m that case I’d probably be as home and can stream it from my PC at higher quality anyway.

    The “it just works” nature of the Steam Deck is such an advantage. It looks better than the Armoury Crate home screen anyway (and the Legion’s is almost nothing but ads, it’s like a Fire TV), and I realize I’m dealing with Windows more than I’m actually playing games, you know, the thing I bought it for

      I’m deciding between the SD oled and rog ally. I have a PC that I game on but want something that I can play on the couch or in bed as well. Seeing as you went from the ally to the SD, what other reasons made you change? If I’m not mistaken, the ally can play all types of games (i.e. ps5, Xbox and even Nintendo games) is this true? The SD can only play steam games but not Nintendo type games?
