I have the ally and I had the steam deck. Ended up selling the steam deck and keeping the ally. Never had any of the issues you stated. The only thing that sucks is the battery life. Yes it gets hot, there are some solutions to this, you can YouTube to turn off the turbo on the CPU which seems to help with the heat with little performance differences.

All of the people suggesting you buy a Lenovo Legion Go for over 50% more money while they have the same exact chipset is not the Slickdeals way. Sure, everyone should be aware of the SD card issue, but it's obvious some people are lying about getting multiple Ally's that broke down on them (like the guy who claimed to have a bad "trackpad").
Also, back when we played GBA and DS etc, the games were specifically made for small screens and had big chunky graphics and text.
But if I'm playing a game made for the tv or a large monitor, on a 7" screen... It's rough.

My joystick and rear trigger failed, so best buy replaced those and the motherboard. Everything works again.
I bought this over the steam deck because it's Windows. If that's not for you, why are you here.
The legion is more expensive and bigger. I want it smaller and thinner and as cheap as possible, because it's my portable machine, and it's my second machine. I still don't understand why ppl want the legion, but if bigger is what you want, then you should get bigger.
I have an x13 as well, so one day, I'm getting that $1500 eGPU with the RTX 3080, and I'm running both of my device with that card. One day...
