Asus ROG Ally or Steam Deck

[HenryLeeFN]

It is not a pc

[HenryLeeFN]

It is a literal hand held device

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN it is, it runs on steamOS which is based on arch linux, the steam deck has a full desktop outside the big picture mode of steam and you can switch between it anytime

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN it's a handheld pc, like the rog ally except the specs, shell with buttons and OS are different, they are both still pcs

[Bread Traffic]

@HenryLeeFN note handheld pcs also have incredible price to performance, the rog ally has a better cpu and gpu than that mini pc, and the steam deck, while having a slightly worse cpu, only 4 cores (does not matter much for me), it has a better gpu than the mini pc

TLDR: both steam deck and rog ally are better than the mini pc for gaming

[Bread Traffic]

@HenryLeeFN you also might be confused du to the nintendo switch, which is very closed and limited yet the steam deck and rog ally allows you to do anything that a pc may do, including game dev (game builder garage does not count)

[HenryLeeFN]

Buddy it’s not a pc that doesn’t make it a pc there are controllers for it and you don’t use a keyboard and mouse so that doesn’t make it a pc

[HenryLeeFN]

Also the graphics are worse on a steam deck

[Bread Traffic]

@HenryLeeFN Just like the mini PC, I can connect a usb-c dock and get a hdmi output and support form wired and 2.4ghz keyboards and mice

both also have bluetooth

whats ur point

[Bread Traffic]

To disprove your point, the Steam Deck's GPU is more powerful than the mini pc

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN you can literally connect a mouse and keyboard to it either via bluetooth or wire, also i found this on google!

and the graphics are great on deck, and even if they weren't it's still a pc

[HenryLeeFN]

Ok well it’s originally on a controller which in my standards makes it a console

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN that makes no sense, none at all

[HenryLeeFN]

Wdym

[HenryLeeFN]

Is an Xbox a pc because I can plug in a keyboard and mouse or is it a console

[Bread Traffic]

@HenryLeeFN You are the one telling us a pc requires a keyboard and mouse

No, the Xbox OS is not open enough (Scratch doesn't vount)

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN just because there it has a built in controller doesn't make it a console, like a mouse and keyboard don't turn everything into a pc, i can connect a mouse and keybord to a ps4 is the ps4 a pc now?

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN it runs on windows and pretty much is a pc in a box but not completly, the steam deck doesn't have the features that make it a console

[HenryLeeFN]

What features make an Xbox a console

[ㅤㅤㅤ]

@HenryLeeFN doesn't have a desktop, you can only buy from the preinstalled store, all of the games that don't have some bug or other problem run perfectly without any tweaking, tweaking in general is not possible without modding it, you can't use steam in any way without modding, etc. all of the things listed as can't do are possible with the steam deck or rog ally
