Retro Game Corps has just posted a 30 day review of the Ally. As someone who has pre-ordered I found it quite interesting. As expected, the major down side to this device is the battery. Fortunately, my main reason for purchasing this is to do some gaming on my commute to work. As I’m only on the subway for 25 min, this should cover my needs perfectly, regardless of the game I play.

I wish some Steam Deck alternatives would also include trackpads into the design, since I’ve liked not having to rely solely on touch screen interactions for desktop navigation.
I’m really looking forward to it. I live in a smallish apartment and am a Mac user. I just don’t have space for a gaming PC. I have PS5 and XSX for AAA games but there are often indies and smaller games that don’t make any of those platforms and this seems perfect for that. I’m also a Genshin Impact addict and Ally can play it whereas Steam Deck can’t without installing Windows.
I’m holding out to see a Steam Deck 2 myself.
I’m interested but don’t want the battery tradeoff of Windows
I’ve been under the impression that the next time we see a new Steam Deck it would be more of a product revision. Rather than a true sequel. I hope I’m wrong but that is going off memory.
I’m down with that though, there are a few refinements I’d like to see. I’d happily see a Switch -> OLED style evolution
Yeah the weight too, current steam deck weighs about 600g which is okay-ish but I would love to see a lightweight version, something like the ps4->ps4slim upgrade.
