ASUS ROG Ally Discussion Thread.
Since I'm getting Diablo IV and Lego 2k Drive for the pc (Lego 2K Drive doesn't have cross-progression like Disney Speedstorm does) decided to bite the bullet and get an Asus. Just placed the pre-order. Going to be great having those two games on the go and I can also use it for Speedstorm. I prefer the PC for playing but like the flexibility of having it on the go. Comes out June 13th.

My gaming PC cost less than the highest priced one. I don't game on the go much, but I can understand the need and want for these.

I am intrigued about this Steam Deck competitor (especially how you can dock it to a 4090 for extra graphical performance at home) but I'll wait for reviews and user experiences (the latter due to Asus' recent end user woes).
Your gaming rig cost under $700.

I like his channel. He usually tells it like it is.
Curious why you're looking at the Asus vs the Steamdeck?

Yeah but. Even though he says it's okay, I would pick the steamdeck over the Asus based on that Dpad alone. I absolutely hated the old circular XBox Dpad.

I also have very small hands so when it comes to controls the more people complain about them (other than things like stick drifting) the more I know they will work for me.

Eh, I already have a Steamdeck that I've put way too much time into customizing. I think I'll stick with them until the next gen is available. But props to Asus for getting in the budget PC handheld field.

Oh if I had one I definitely wouldn't switch, but for me it makes no sense to get the top tier Deck while the Asus is two weeks away.

Re: ASUS ROG Ally Discussion Thread.
That's fair, I got the lowest tier Deck and swapped out the HDD ... which wound up not being necessary due to how well it ran off MicroSDs.
