The models with SteamOS generally only play what's on the Steam store out-of-the-box, however, there are ways you can install other game launchers like Epic, GOG, Ubisoft, etc. For GamePass, you can use the streaming feature. GeForce Now is also a way to stream more of your games from other libraries.
If you are a little technically savvy, you can partition your hard drive and set it up to dual boot into Windows or SteamOS which is what I did to get the best of both worlds.

Xbox Game Pass will not natively work on SteamOS, only streaming.

The detachable is great in theory but adds flex and width to the unit if you're playing handheld. Plus it's really big. The "mouse" mode wasn't as good as I thought and playing Valorant wasn't that great.
I opted for Ally X on FB marketplace. Ally X is bigger than OG Ally but got it for the extra ram.
The extra ram is super helpful in more demanding games. Helldivers 1 & 2 is fun on ally X, quite playable.
I also sync with 2 sn30 pro and kids play retro games on it.
SteamOS is amazing (main/beta releases) Ally X. I imagine it's a great experience to on both Go and Go S now.
But at the same time... I'm not sure if this device is worth $330 more than my OG ROG Ally Z1E...

I'm considering getting it through best buy. They have a 60 day return window. I figure I can get it, if the price drops they'll match. Or if Gen2 handhelds with the Z2E come out and the price isn't $1k+, I can return it and order one of those.
The hard thing is if neither of those things happen, I can take a $450 hit from the rog ally... But a $850 hit from the Lenovo would SUCK
