Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite?

IMO it feels like the Steam Deck was built with 3 goals in mind:
- Longevity
- Playability
- UX
And the competition feels more like
- Specs
- Gimmicks
Like, sure, better gpu and cpu and ram is great, but it’s kind of shit if the battery barely lasts or tge performance is worse because of lack of compatibility with Windows or the repairability is shit you need to buy a new device if it falls.
Ironicly it reminds me a bit of early android vs iphone. Where Iphone was built with real ingenuity and leading the market, while android was this mess of companies trying everything to “out compete” Apple. The irony being that tge steam deck is the open and inclusive one unlike the iphone.

Yeah, I guess so. I’m leaning towards the steam deck simply because of longevity, accessories, community and touchpads but the performance kind of worries me but perhaps unreasonably so.

What kind of games do you play? that will help the decision. I’ve personally never run into performance issue, but there are people who have, or care more.

Mostly Witcher 3 but plan on running through the whole Witcher series, red dead redemption, Factorio, banished and so on. So, not that demanding.
