If you have the Best Buy credit card, use code APR24EMOB25 for 10% off, $630 isn't too bad.

This one (Z1 Extreme) is the one to get. Don't get me wrong, the base Z1 seems superb compared to Steam Deck's comparable 512GB version, but damn, the Z1 Extreme is hitting 1080p/120fps in games like Forza and 60fps in RDR2, craziness.

Usually the first batch of YouTube reviews would tend to praise a product at launch as those are from privileged reviewers who receive a free unit from the marketing department of a vendor. I'm waiting for real end user reviews to see if I'd get one myself or invest in upgrading the 64GB SSD on my Steam Deck. If the Ally had a touchpad and ran Steam OS it would be closer to a perfect handheld gaming device, though today's battery tech would still cause concerns to some but it's the same issue no matter which device you pick.

Seems like a solid competitor to the Steamdeck based on the review from

For those ditching the deck for this, will you miss the touchpads? I don't own the deck but wonder how much of a loss that is for the ally if any.

Just to clarify, this deal is for a computer that functions as a handheld Windows gaming console, not a different version of a Switch. Two completely different things.

I really like the touchpads, one reason I probably won't ditch my Deck for this

Thanks! I placed my order right before seeing this. Went back and canceled/reordered and was able to pre-order again WITH the code (saved me $70)!

The ROG Ally is to the Steam Deck as the Game Gear was to the GameBoy.
A flash in the pan with awful battery life. I'll stick with Steam Deck, which has far better first-party and third-party better support.

I'll wait until it has a solid steamOS compatibility. The suspend feature is the best part of the deck for me. Not to mention the custom controller profiles, game compatibility, etc. Deck works great.

This might be good after a while but I remember 10 years ago when everyone tried to create "steam machines" with all of these windows profiles that worked more like a console, and maybe Alienware had the only half-usable one.
