The Steam Deck used to be the undisputed king of budget handheld gaming, but the tables have turned. With recent price hikes hitting the Steam Deck, the base ASUS ROG Ally is now a massive £200 cheaper at retail. Even better, I managed to snag this one on sale on Amazon for just £369. Even at around the £450 retail price its still MUCH cheaper than the Steam Deck... so how to does it hold up? In this video, we are putting the base ROG Ally head to head with the original LCD Steam Deck to see if ASUS has officially stolen the price to performance crown. We will break down the specs, look at the physical differences, tackle the Windows experience, and even install Bazzite to bring SteamOS to the Ally. Plus, we are testing performance on everything from Stardew Valley to Cyberpunk 2077. Looking to buy an Xbox Ally?
