High buy in price followed by increases to Game Pass ruins it for me. As long as people continue to support M$ at these prices, they will never change a thing.

The SD is long in the tooth now. The Ally run circles around it as does the rest of the current Windows handhelds. And I like the SD a lot, got one on release. If you want to be locked into Steam only and don't mind a pretty noticeable gap in performance, go ahead, otherwise the Windows machines are infinitely more capable.
User experience is better on deck for all but the most niche use cases, no one in their right mind is playing competitive games requiring anticheat on such things.

They're junk and these newer Allys will depreciate just as bad as the first one. People thought they were getting slick open box deals for $600 then 6 months later it was like $300 lol

OLED is so much better for gaming and I wouldn't get this.

Get Steam Deck OLED. The refurb ones that were on sale were about this price. They are sold out now but might come back soon.
Yeah OLED SD is great if you completely ignore the rest of the system is obsolete af
