How is the sleep/resume functionality? I've heard mixed reports about Windows-based handhelds ranging anywhere from "it doesn't have anything like that" to "it works perfectly fine just like Deck/Switch".
That is pretty much the killer feature of the Deck for me, and as far as I'm currently aware, that's enabled by it using Linux/SteamOS. If I can't sleep/resume a game on a handheld, I'd be much more inclined to just play on my desktop and reap the benefits of improved performance and graphics.
Ya, I've had it work once or twice where it just comes back and the game is able to resume. Generally though, the system is either dead or shut down or hibernating and not usable. I generally don't even try and use the suspend option. I save and exit out of the game to avoid messing up my save games.
It absolutely does not work as well as the Switch. It's one of the various constant annoyances of using the Ally.
Me too, I always ask about this, and this is always suspiciously missing from every single review. I assume it just doesn't work, otherwise we would have seen someone mention it, the steam deck's reviews all mentioned that since it's one of (if not the) most important feature for a handheld. For example (just rewatched it to be sure) LTT's review doesn't mention that on the ROG, but on the Deck the quote is
So even back then they acknowledged that windows was not capable at that time of doing that (remember they had other handhelds at the time), but they never brought it up on the ROG review, which is very suspicious, almost as if Asus is trying to find a fix and preventing reviewers from talking about it. But that might be too much time hat on my side.
I don't typically trust LTT reviews anymore. Omissions like that - and no follow-ups for it - lead me to believe they're just advertisers in tech people's clothing.
ETA Prime can likewise be a bit light on criticism at times.
