Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY!

  To be fair, that’s the low power Ally with a pretty significant 20% off sale.

  I’m not well educated on the power difference, but a quick google search shows the cheaper Ally gets about 60% the benchmarked performance of the more expensive Ally when plugged in. There’s also a significant drop when not plugged in, but less severe (only about a 20% drop in fps). Source

  I suppose the real question is how does it compare to a Steam Deck at that price, and if the drop in power is worth the price difference.

    iirc they’re all similar amd chips but the steam deck has the lowest performance by a small margin. But the steam deck uses less overhead with Linux.
