Nice
I away pick the one with better supported, as my steam deck fan gave out close to 2 years i just order a new one from ifix it the its all good again.
Got used asus rog ally Z1E (still got 13 months warranty) for 300 euros with dock, case, shell and glass protector…
What? The 512GB OLED model is $549
Where can i buy steam deck for $400????
If you're on a budget I recommend to ALWAYS check price history. There's cool sites (I'd share, but the one I use is for my country) that check the history of products on several stores. It shows you the lowest it's ever been, a graph on how often it goes on sale, and a lot of cool info you otherwise wouldn't have known. "What to do if you only have 400$" check all handhelds, from expensive to cheap, and look at their history. It's better to wait 2-3 months and wait for a rog ally z1e or legion go to go on sale, rather than get the steamdeck lcd (which, unless you only play emulation and indie game, you won't be too satisfied with it. The average gamer plays games the steamdeck barely handles, or can't even play) and not enjoy it. I got a brand new z1e for 399$ after waiting for 4 months for a good sale, knowing it will drop to around the same price. The legion go went as low as 480$ if I remember it right. Just check. And it's better to wait a few months for a product that you'll love and it'll last you years, than to get the cheap product that will not play the games releasing in 2025 and you'll have to replace very soon
Edit: if you're in for the used market as well, the rog ally can go down to 300$ second hand. The Steam Deck LCD down to 200$, and the steamdeck oled I personally never saw under 400$. The ROg Ally is also better cause it's a newer product than the steamdeck lcd, so you know usage damage isn't as big.
If you compare a cheap windows pc with an AMD chip to a LED steam deck, realize that AMD software has a “vivid color mode” setting that when activated will totally crush that steam deck in terms of how good the display looks. If however you neglected to turn on vivid color mode then it’s not really an accurate depiction of what these devices are when you compare them. vivid color mode makes a big big difference.
Subbed man, good video, I already own a deck, love me some BOIII zombies and RDR2 🤠💯
Where does the Next Lite cap out on emulation. PS3, 360, Switch?
I’m getting the steam deck and installing windows since I’m a tinkerer. If you are not. Your assessment is spot on.
Any chance you'd run Linux on the Ayaneo to see if it comes closer to performance? That's what I did with my 2 and saw a noticable jump
I guess Steam deck should have better battery life, and can be adjust tdp easier.
I just got a used Next Lite for under 300 on ebay….my 5th Ayaneo device… 4 steamdecks also, because I like replacing shells. I only really play games on my desktop haha.
Which one you rocking with?
