Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience
ampersarnie@lemmy.world 23 hours agoSteam Deck appreciator myself and this does seem like a good starting point for Xbox. I’m interested to see how it progresses over the years.

Not saying I’d get one, but I am a Xbox gamer. It’s where the majority of my purchases are. I hardly play PC because I just don’t like sitting at a desk, when I’m in a desk chair most of the day. I maybe have 3-4 games on steam, but my PC is getting old just found out even though my graphics card can do ray tracing, my processor is only 2.9ghx and recommended min is 3.2 and can’t run the new doom game.
So if you were to get one would you stay with the steam deck or wait for the Asus?

I get your point but the speed of the CPU means nothing without mentioning the specific model. My old i7-4790k came stock at 4.4GHz and would massively struggle to run modern games, but if I underclocked my current 7600x to 3.2GHz it would easily handle the latest games at 60 FPS.

Looking at your use case, I would go with Asus. You would already have a decent library because of some Xbox Play Anywhere titles, plus there is also gamepass.

I’d agree with this to be honest. As much as I love my Steam Deck I’m not sure it’s the choice they’re looking for. But, I also haven’t used any other Asus offerings with handhelds, to make a full run down of advice and comparison.
