    I have a steam deck and decided to get the ally and now I dont use the steam deck. The ergonomics are way better and the analogue placement is just right.

    I highly recommend the Ally for PC and console gamers. If you're not used to tweaking things and using windows, get the deck.

    Out of the box this system had issues both common. Wifi card is screwy and also the sd card slot is basically melted. The sd card slot burns out fast even after the ame repair. Or if you get the newer model R7 with the heat shield. You can upgrade the ssd... but its not worth the time and money. Returning asap.
