Dual boot is still on the menu, too.

Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it’s now confirmed.

      The new one indeed have it… considering your paying the combined price of a desktop pc gaming + a steam deck to buy one.

      The original Ally was pretty debatable hardware wise when compared to the deck. It was more powerful, but had worse battery life (especially in low power games), worse controls, poorly designed heat routing that burned up SD cards, etc. There was also stuff like how the higher resolution screen wasnt really necessary for the screen size, and the performance hit was very significant unless you capped at 720p.

        Right on. I’m just excited that this form factor is going to “be a thing” for a while, because god damn, I love my deck.

        But realistically, it could be a drop in replacement for my mobile computing solutions if it was just a bit beefier.
