Thanks for sharing -- I think that if I were to buy a handheld PC now, the ASUS ROG would be it. Having had a Steamdeck since release though, I don't think I could go back to not having the sleep/resume function for gaming, especially on the go. It's still not perfect for games that have some sort of always-online component (I don't blame Steam OS for that), but it's definitely the killer feature of the deck for me.

Still though, the smaller size, reported quietness, screen and performance of the ROG at it's price point make me really excited for what options will be around when I decide to upgrade.

There is a lot of work towards making the Ally compatible by the team at ChimeraOS. Once they finish up, the Ally should have plenty of its features supported.

Hopefully they don't support ASUS's penchant for flammability, lol.
