    Wow, $715 is pretty cheap for a 512gb steam deck but I really don't see/justify myself ever needing it when I have a light 14 inch laptop with intel XE graphics that can sort of run games as well. :(

    • CyberMurning on 04/04/2024 - 07:40

      Which laptop and how much/store please?

      • Knightchampion on 04/04/2024 - 12:59

        I got the lenovo yoga 7i 14 inch with an i7 1260p and 16gb/1tb. It is able to run all the basic games like gta v online, fortnite, and subnautica fine on low-medium settings and 30fps. Got it for $1500 last year in store during a sale at harvey norman (I know people hate this store but it seemed like a really good deal back then).

        Not really suited for playing games though as the ram shoots up to 95% when playing a game if I dont close my other programs (e.g. 10 - 15 chrome tabs). I realised the integrated gpu is taking around 4gb ram when playing games which i feel is quite a lot. I only use that laptop once a week anyways when I travel to Uni since I mainly use my PC and gaming laptop at home.

      For me the main selling points of the deck are the pick up and play nature of it and the battery life.
      If you sleep it with a game open, you can resume in about 2s. On the train, on the couch or in bed it is also a lot more usable.

        you can either have this semi useful - useful tarot card..or you can trade it all in for a possible dopamine hit by hitting that wheel of fortune card

          Choosing to ignore useful tarots for the opportunity to pick Emperor (which gives you 2 random tarot cards), and get a Wheel of Fortune out of it, and you play the Wheel and get a "nope!" is peak Balatroing

    Been giving serious consideration to ROG Ally.

    Seems a refresh this year is highly possible so I'll keep waiting, my wish list for update:

    OLED
    Performance bump
    Battery bump
    Native support for full sized M2

    • Kangal on 04/04/2024 - 10:59
      -3

      Sounds great but I REALLY doubt it.
      If you like the Valve SteamDeck, the Cheap Base or Affordable OLED, you'll love the Great Value ASUS ROG Ally. And the best time to buy one of these was on release date, the second best time is now. Do NOT wait for it.

    • Gamer Dad Reviews on 04/04/2024 - 11:16
      -1

      Also waiting for an OLED handheld WITH VRR and which is NOT woefully underpowered.
      Not tempted by the current ROG Ally AT ALL - would be tempted if it were refreshed with OLED and a Performance increase.

      • NuttyGoodness on 04/04/2024 - 13:21

        Performance increase? Isn’t it outperforming everything?

        • Kangal on 05/04/2024 - 09:20

          This.
          The AMD 4095u (Aerith) was a pretty big bump from anything else we've had on the market. Then came the 6600u, then 6800u, and then the 7840u last year. Over year later we get the 8840u and it's the same chipset but "now with AI".

          So unless ASUS is cooking something custom like Valve did, there won't really be an efficiency or performance uplift. Unless they wait for this current-gen to pass, and go with the subsequent one.

          Let's say 2 BIG core, and 6 small cores, based on a new +4nm TSMC node (or 3nm?) with Zen5 architecture. As for the iGPU, well we're still stuck with RDNA-3 unless we wait long enough for RDNA-4. Rumours show that RDNA-4 will be a very mild performance increase, and focus more on efficiency. That's not good for Desktop Gaming PCs or even Gaming Consoles… but it's great for Laptops, Tablets, and Handhelds. But that would require the chipset for a Q1 2025 release at the earliest, and not the Q3 2024 release that people are hoping for.

          Besides, as I alluded to earlier, the Valve SteamDeck is not going anywhere. They're keeping it as it is. There isn't much incentive for ASUS to (vastly) improve their handheld in the near future. It is better if they focus on the original and improving that with software and support externally.

          PS: okay, the rumours are starting to flare up about the Ally-2 and I take them with a HUGE grain of salt. ETA Prime just released a video on the subject matter for those interested.

    • snep on 04/04/2024 - 11:34
      +3

      AMD has mentioned strix/strix halo launch "later this year", so that (or a similar customised chip) is be a possibility for a performance bump.

    • The Value on 04/04/2024 - 09:16

      It's pretty straightforward. Runs perfectly fine on LCD. OLED is still missing drivers.

      • rosebank on 04/04/2024 - 09:52

        I had a quick look at the specs comparing the SD LCD and ROG. The ROG has a better screen and APU for $240 more. Which one would you pick?

        • The Value on 04/04/2024 - 10:20

          If I could only have one, it'd be the Steam Deck.

              @rosebank: I don't think the LCD will. The OLED might and so will the Ally.

              I've been monitoring these prices for months.

              • rosebank on 04/04/2024 - 10:25

                @The Value: I'll probably just get the OLED and install the drivers when they become available

                • dione on 04/04/2024 - 10:49
                  +2

                  @rosebank: the best option is dual boot, and I recommend to get it earlier before your flight since you need to set it up and install it.
                  am having some issue with the windows installation since I decide to install Windows 10 IOT enterprise for dual boot, but it solved.

                  Also dont forget to get USB-C hub so you can connect your mouse keyboard if you like fiddling with the OS.

                  OLED only missing speaker and bluetooth in windows, but I only use the windows to play Fortnite, and the rest of my library is playable on SteamDeck (most of the time I still gaming on PC)

                  • rosebank on 04/04/2024 - 10:52

                    @dione: Thanks for your advice. If there aren't any good watches in the Starbuy weekend sale, I'll get the OLED if it hasn't sold out.

          So you can claim back the GST you've paid (10%) when you exit the country, but if you bring an item back in and it's valued at $900 or more then you have to pay it back anyway?

          So you're about to head overseas and you could buy the 512, get 10% back and then return in Aus and not have to pay that back?

      I went from SD LCD, to SD OLED and settled with ROG.

      For my use case which is gaming at home and generally always have access to a power outlet, the ROG performance and 1080p made it the winner for me. In my head I thought the SD OLED screen would match the ROG's 1080p, but it didn't.

      SD will easily beat ROG Ally in other areas, so the above is just my personal gaming need. As example, ROG battery life is horrid by comparison.

          The OLED is far superior but games play virtually identical.

          It comes down to how much you care about the OLED.

          THE 512GB LCD is a bargain for $715.
          The OLED is still dropping.

    Not bad at all for the LCD and good to see the OLED coming down to earth. I recently got a 64Gb for $602 during the afterpay sale, and I’m really happy with it. Games run surprisingly well on an SD card but I’ll probably add an SSD at a later date.
