This thing is expensive, but I absolutely love mine. Great battery life, great performance, and just feels great. It's expensive, but you get your money's worth, imo.

Still more than I would want to pay for this, especially with the OG Ally models going on sale as well, but if you've been on the fence about getting the ally X now would be the time to get it.

For those that don't know the x increases the battery, ram, and storage of the of ally, and the grip is more ergonomic. I wish they upgraded the screen to OLED, but it's still the same, albeit a pretty good lcd screen.

Good price. However $700 for a handheld (which many people view as a Nintendo) is a lot. These need to marketed as console replacements to command that kind of money. That's basically how I use my Steam Deck. I stopped buying games for XBOX and PS5. I can share games with my kids using Steam. I cannot do that with the consoles.
If you're referring to family sharing on Steam, that's going away in a couple months 😩

I'm going to be getting this as a Christmas Gift for my partner. Does anyone know of a better price anywhere? Or does anyone think the price will drop any lower anywhere before the holidays?

This is probably the lowest it will go until next year when leaks start dropping for the next gen version, but this just released in June, and they have a 2tb variant coming out in December but its user upgradable so stick to the 1tb. Also it's exclusive to Best Buy and ASUS shop for now.

Weird, my nephews that live across the country have access to my full Xbox library as well as my GPU ultimate access. Not sure if PlayStation has something similar or not, but it sure works for Xbox.

Pretty good deal if you can combine Paypal 5% rebate on top of Chase 5% quarterly rebate. Must. Resist.

These things are more than a glorified Game Boy. They're essentially a miniature gaming laptop running full blown Microsoft Windows in a hand held form factor.

I will say that OLED is much dimmer than LCD. I found this out as a surprise when I bought my OLED monitor (an unhappy surprise)
