Struggling to make a decision… would love some help here.
I’m debating between an Ally and SD OLED. I want to buy something that I can use at home in bed and I would like to stream from my PC. Only considering these two and not the G Cloud because I also travel for work a few times a year, which the capability to play on the device itself becomes important. Also the Go is too big.
I currently play POE and D4, which I think run okay on both but better on Ally when plugged.
The question is, if considering 90% of the time I will be streaming, is the Ally, 1080p IPS with vrr, better speaker (not a huge deal), no trackpad and 2 less back button better? Or the newly improved Deck, 800P OLED, no vrr, trackpad, better for this particular purpose? Or are they really not that different.
Also, I understand the Ally has terrible battery, but how many hours can I get if I only stream?
How important is the trackpad for streaming purposes?
Is there any other important items/differences that I missed? Thanks!
if you’re going to be streaming most of the times just pick the oled : bigger battery, nicer screen, longer cable. moonlight is pretty easy to set up

Deck, no question. OLED screen will just physically look better. Trackpads are immensely useful if you set them up, and the Deck also has two more back buttons than the Ally. The Ally’s sole advantage - moderately better performance - doesn’t matter when the device is just a streaming client anyway.
