I just picked one of these up the other day and I love it. Did a price match via Best Buy chat and got the 50 dollar difference refunded for the 1TB model I got. This is an impressive little device out of the box. With a little tuning, it's quite a beast! I have it playing HellDivers 2 (which is fairly graphically demanding) via a USB C dock on my 60" 4k TV (playing in 1080p) and I can play at 60FPS no problem. There's a good community for it too. Out of the box it does well, but there are some good and cheap additions you can do to improve cooling for even better performance and battery. Like a 10 dollar SSD Copper heatsink shield that I ordered recently.
This is technically a full on computer with Windows 11, FYI.

I second this. Haha!
Do yourself a favor, and keep your choice of the worst of the 3 options to yourself.
512 gb for $629
1 tb for $699
Deal is still active and not dead. Some are reading it as $629 for 1 tb.

I'm playing new games, old games, dock it to my TV with one cable and detach the controllers sit back and game like a powerful switch. And it played switch games. Simply incredible.
This has two USB4 ports on it, which means you can shove a Thunderbolt controller with a GPU for an external GPU at a fraction of the cost of the Ally's proprietary XG Mobile only connector.
I sold my Steam Deck (and Bazzite runs great on it) and never looked back.
I did keep my GPD 4...but that's just because it's small and good for all other stuff.
