2 THINGS to KEEP in MIND 1. I'm on my way to get better at pronunciation, forgive my English, this channel is meant to allow me to improve. 2. This is my Main Spanish YT channel, I translate all the videos myself. I could use AI, but my goal is to get better, not to be lazy.
As someone who speaks zero Spanish I applaud you for taking the time and effort to make this understandable for us. You'll only get better but your doing great already!
Todally depends on the price in your area. The ROG Ally X costs 899€ in germany, while you can get the ROG Ally Z1E for 550 to 599€ for months now. Imo thats a pretty significant price difference.
Both are great devices along with the LeGo the OG Ally with Z1 extreme and others If your in the market for a handheld pick the one that fits your budget and specs you want . None would be a wrong choice .
I have the original Ally, and the Ally X. The Ally X fixes all the problems with the original Ally. This barely gets warm. It can also take larger M.2 SSD’s so you can have more storage…. This review is great. I agree with everything said. It’s a great machine.
For me, ergonomically it feels pretty good. Premium is not what it feels like as I've said, the best comparison for me is an Xbox controller. But definitely I should try the steam deck's Oled.
No VRR, low frame rate screen, low resolution screen, weaker processor, I hate trackpads on handhelds because I have big hands (they get in my way). ROG Ally X is my favorite handheld console.
I don't think so. The next Steam deck will of course be more powerfull, but the problems it currently has with the OS will be exactly the same. But at the end, if they have a competitive price, that's where it is going to stand out.
@BenTech-US so you think steam deck2 must be windows 12 you actually can put windows on deck if you like to use it as pc or for antichat games bit they said windows not good for bettery life
Steam big picture mode has nothing on steam OS besides the basic theme and UI. You still don’t get proper sleep mode, proper TV resolution changing like docking a Nintendo Switch, no system controls like FPS limits, Bluetooth, or WiFi in the steam overlay, and still have to fight with armory crate controller input anywhere else in the system. Bazzite is close, but not quite there.
@@smsmafia Those functions are all built into Armory Crate and / or Windows settings and Steam Overlay / Sidepanel cannot access them to adjust them.

I've really enjoyed my Ally X ever since i got it, but coming from a Steam Deck it takes a minute to get used to how it feels in the hands. Also for me I hated using it with Windows; it just felt so slow and games and apps would break if i put it to sleep for a bit and jumped back on . I ended up installing Bazzite on it and even though that has some issues too, it feels a lot better to use in a gaming console type of way.
Thanks for your video, great job and very good on the English. I recently looked at gaming handhelds. Decided on the Ally X for all of the reasons you mentioned. Even though the Ally X is more powerful than Steam Deck, I still have to run most of my games on medium settings. The Ally X will play more games and newer games for longer than Steam Deck. That means that money spent now will play newer games for a longer period of time. For those looking to get a handheld, while OLED is nice and some people are very passionate about it, it’s not that big of a deal on such a tiny screen. The Ally X has an excellent screen. If I have to have OLED it will be on my TV, not a 7” screen. I’m not dissing anyone who got the Steam Deck, I’m glad you are playing and hope you get thousands of entertainment hours enjoying it, I just went a different direction and am happy with my choice. (I also got it for the price of a Steam Deck OLED by purchasing a returned unit in mint condition.)
Thank you very much! At the end of the day, being more powerful doesn't mean you have to use it, it means that you can even run it at a low power and get a better experience while making the battery last longer. Thank you a lot for your comment!
Yep, that was exactly what I wanted. I'm experimenting with the Retention inside YT algorithm :). If I start lowering volume or making an outro, people leaves before the video ends. I'm just testing, I'll see how it works out. Thank you very much for your comment!
Thank you very much! I'll keep a look at the chronological structure, sometimes I do a mess with that trying to cover everything while avoiding failing into the common review structure. :D
Yes of course, that is to be rewarded, but blind fidelity to a brand never helps the market get any better. Hope they keep competing and creating better products.
@@BenTech-US you’re right but also Asus failed badly in terms of customer service. I have some products from them and I hope they last. Otherwise it will be a huge L for me
Id say if you have the finances for it definitely upgrade for a more performance sided handheld such as the ally, but the steam deck for what it is and the community backing it at that price point is hard to argue against, having valve support also helps sell that device and the oled upgrade is huge. Either way you dont lose with either device its all based on your personal preference and financial situation. Lets not make this some pointless argument like i see in some of the comments because at the end of the day we all are winning regardless of what you get, lets be happy we live in the timeline with handheld pc’s
Yup! at the end of the day I see no wrong choices between them, If you are looking for the best, prepare your wallet, but we're lucky we have more affordable options that already have a lot of potential.
I agree with you 100% in the last part. Alot of steam deck fanboys trash on windows handhelds like Rog Ally so much when in fact, Rog Ally can do what steam deck does and more. If installed with Bazzite, it's actually even more better than steam deck.
bazzite has certain bugs and issues with rog ally x .. so id rather wait for the official support from Valve, since they are prepping their SteamOS to support hardware outside Steam Deck.
@BenTech-US Not really the price difference is not that big anymore. I got my ally x for 650. A steam deck oled is like 549-650. So you're a actually getting worse value with the steam deck oled.
@@justswitched8841 i can get a 1tb oled (upgraded from 512gb) at 480$-550$ used from eBay... this is stupid.. why even try to play this second hand market when trying to justify price lmfao 🤦
@@justswitched8841 oh wow a second hand rog ally x for 650$ i can get a second hand steam deck oled 512gb for 480$ to 550$ (some of them are upgraded to 1tb) in ebay using the second hand market to compare prices is dumb.
Other than the rog x being more powerful, the steam deck is better in every way . Even the steam decks battery is very close if not slightly less than the rog x because it’s not using as much power. Steam deck is still king 💯
Well, i don't believe so, every battery test I've seen is pretty far away. But yes, the optimization may be better. But why do I want better optimization if I can't play some games? where''s the point. Like I said in other comments, at the end of the day we're lucky there's plenty of options and each one brings something different to the table, I don't believe there are bad choices in this regard.
Get a laptop. All those windows handhelds are basically windows devices with attached controllers. The steam deck is the only device which trily has a console experience, built from the ground up. Not to mention extensive gaming support specifically for the unit. Asus on the other hand will eventually skip the Ally X’s support in favor of their upcoming handhelds.
@BenTech-US I understand might be different there but I'm the USA the 1tb is 799 and 2 tb is 899 you can look at it on best buy once u click on the rog ally x it gives u the option between 2tb and 1 tb
Absolutely, as I say during the video, that's my main complain,. there are other handhelds that do a better job at making you feel that it is a premium product. But I think it's due to the weight cut off, that they had to use light plastic. I guess if they combined plastic with magnesium or alluminium of some kind it would feel pretty good overall, but being one of the most expensive, it should feel more premium in the hands.
Actually steam deck oled looks more advanced than ally x , lcd tiny screen less buttons it's ally the first one just with better ram and bettery life , but this your opinion the only device can be better than steam deck is onexplayer Xl
Advanced? not really, just a better screen if you can say that, because it's only the OLED, in resolution/refresh rate is actually worst. With the specs on paper is worst almost in every way. But the fact is that it is a well priced and designet piece of tech that works really good. They're simply different for now, I like to see each brand making different aproaches to the handheld world.
@@BenTech-US actually the screen on ally x is tiny so you can't see fhd it's need lenovo go screen for seeing it and there a video steam deck 32gb ram and never seeing the different than 16ram plus asus is very rude with customers and they mocked on ally fans when they made new models in less than a year like now ally z2 comes after two mouth you will sell your ally x unlike steam deck it was made in 2021 and still used in 2027 like console age
Steam just has had more fanboys for a lot longer and they carried over to the steam deck. Honestly, Linux ain't it when it comes to gaming. This is coming from a guy that uses arch on my laptop but windows on my gaming PC.
I don't think there's much wrong with gaming on Linux with proton. Most games run fine without any performance loss. That's why many are installing Bazzite on their ROG Ally/X. Allows for better sleep functionality. Windows is a pain with sleep mode. Stick your device in a bag in sleep, it'll be overheated and the battery drained when you take it out. Windows is your only choice if you use other stores/launchers or multiplayer games with anticheat.

It is, in fact I think we should wait a couple months, but we might see a significant price drop on the X.
Both are great devices along with the LeGo the OG Ally with Z1 extreme and others If your in the market for a handheld pick the one that fits your budget and specs you want .

That's exactly the best definition, I think each one provides different value to the table, so at the end of the day there are no wrong choices.

Thank you very much! I really hope for the Ally 2 they get to a better screen and materials so it feels really as what it is, a premium product.
If the Ally X had an OLED screen, it would replace my Steam Deck. I just can't give up the black levels.
It's need olde and bigger screen too like 7.4 or 8
That's something I respect. And actually as evil says, a bigger screen covering the bezels would be amazing
No Oled, smaller screen, feels bad in the hand when gaming.
Steam deck Oled is my favorite handheld console.
For me, ergonomically it feels pretty good. Premium is not what it feels like as I've said, the best comparison for me is an Xbox controller. But definitely I should try the steam deck's Oled.
Not all hands are the same... Steam deck felt like I was "reaching" for the bumper buttons. Ally X is perfect for me.
If you’re getting this. Good to get steamdeck also.😅
No VRR, low frame rate screen, low resolution screen, weaker processor, I hate trackpads on handhelds because I have big hands (they get in my way).
ROG Ally X is my favorite handheld console.
Deck oled is where its at . Good battery life and no faffing with windows . Steam deck 2 will be a complete game changer
Deck 2 will be in 2027 and longer age is better there ally z2 after two months
I don't think so. The next Steam deck will of course be more powerfull, but the problems it currently has with the OS will be exactly the same. But at the end, if they have a competitive price, that's where it is going to stand out.
@BenTech-US so you think steam deck2 must be windows 12 you actually can put windows on deck if you like to use it as pc or for antichat games bit they said windows not good for bettery life
Man , I have watched so many videos about comparison of these two , but you did it like a god 👌
Hope soon you’ll have 1 million
Thank you very much! Hope some day that happens, for now, I have to improve in a lot of ways :)
One million is not easy because ally x , it's need something bigger than pc handheld

That's the best answer I had so far :) Thanks for the information!
The miss information in this comment is insane.
Could you simply argue why?

As a handheld device, the SD OLED is still the better choice.
What games were you testing
Trust me man, you are going to "blow up" soon. Really enjoyed the video. I binged your videos just recently. INCREDIBLE QUALITY. ;)
I appreciate that! Gives me strength, I hope I can get better to make that come true. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! I'll keep a look at the chronological structure, sometimes I do a mess with that trying to cover everything while avoiding failing into the common review structure.

I stick to my SD Oled. Valve is a very good company when it come to customer service. This should be rewarded by supporting their product.

lol, not that much in here
Double the battery so that it doesn’t die while sleeping lmao
That might be something good, but in a month that I've had the Rog Ally X, I've never felt the need of puting it to "sleep"
@@BenTech-US Do you: A) never stop using it or B) completely shut it off after using?
Are you the same guy as "like stories of old"?
Nop, he might be from Spain as I am :)
7 inch is way too small for pc gaming in 2024. 8 inch and above
