I have a thing where I only buy games that are more than a year old. I also listen to game podcasts from a year ago. I’m kind of living a year in the past in gaming but it is better than ever. Games are on sale for 30%-70% of the launch price, all DLC included (sometimes) and the broken parts are fixed.

I’ve got a gaming pc but play 90% of the time on the SD. Gaming PC is for esports.

Fo with the ROG Ally. The Steam Deck is better in every way, but if you would prefer to run Windows you should go with the Ally.

I wouldn’t spend money on hardware just to switch the OS to something worse. Buy one of the crappy windows handhelds instead.

There’s nothing better than the Steam Deck OLED. It is a better os than Windows and kills the alternatives for battery life and screen.

If you’re going to be playing near a power outlet, go with the laptop. If you’re going to be playing mostly on battery power go with deck.

Go for the quality.
