I highly doubt that I would own one.
Asus is jumping to the handheld device hype after Switch and Steam Deck. But Asus doesn't have the best track record with post release support and customization. I trust them even less with the overvolting scandal that just happened a couple of weeks ago.
If you compare spec only, Ally clearly wins over Steam Deck. But if you consider post release support, aftermarket customization, userbase, Steam Deck is miles ahead.
As I’ve mentioned above, some games, two in particular, do not and cannot run on Steam Deck without installing Windows on it due to anticheat software, so from that perspective it will not meet my needs as capably as a Windows first device. I know the Steam Deck is good hardware.
Bit pointless to compare user base and post release support between a product that hasn't launched yet and one that's been out for over a year. I get what you're saying based on Asus history,, but still.
