    Got the ally x and was thinking of getting the white oled as a backup mainly cause the screen. 🤔 would you recommend to wait for when a steamdeck 2 comes if it does? Since ally x and these still have about the same specs?

    • @gamers-generation
      @gamers-generation  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @RangerxTurbo great question. IMO you have basically the best mainstream handheld PC right now so unless you really need a backup, it's not really needed. Especially since Bazzite is available on the Ally X AFAIK as well. For SD2, though it's been confirmed, it's probably going to be another year at least unless Valve surprises us. At that point though you could argue then you could turn your Ally X into a backup.

    • @RangerxTurbo
      @RangerxTurbo หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @gamers-generation well thanks for responding. Yes i will probably wait than hope they upgrade to a 1080p screen oled for the sd2. What is bazzite? I'm not too into all this tech i mainly just download a few games and play haven't even adjusted my ally system settings cause idk what is best

    • @stephenmisener1659
      @stephenmisener1659 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Valve has stated there will not be a steamdeck 2 for awhile. They are waiting until they can make massive upgrades in nearly every aspect of the device. The change to oled so quickly after launch was more so a "hotfix" for the hardware, and they stated that wont be the norm. If you want one you are likely waiting 2-3 years before a steamdeck 2.

    • @gamers-generation
      @gamers-generation  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, thanks for your comment and sorry for the late response. I understand the frustration with the Z1E battery on the Ally. That said, personally, I'd just go one of two routes, installing Bazzite/SteamOS as an alternative and then if that still doesn't result in the battery life I want, I'd supplement with a power bank. I think that way you can basically get a Steam Deck experience with more performance, since it really is much more console like than Windows.
      What do you think you'll do?

    • @GIRGHGH
      @GIRGHGH 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Doesn't the Ally x have double the battery? I think if battery life is your only priority upgrading to that would be better. Though like GG said, might be cheaper to just get a battery bank. As far as I'm aware though Bazzite/SteamOS doesn't really affect battery life to insanely much.

    • @gamers-generation
      @gamers-generation  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@GIRGHGH If you're comparing to LCD Deck then technically yes, 80Wh vs. 40Wh, but the OLED Deck has 50Wh. Hard numbers aside, Windows is also less efficient than SteamOS, so it's not as simple as doubling the numbers. But to your point, there's a guide on some good power banks on the channel too!

      Great and tough question. I'd have to think more about that but assuming they were the same price, I'd say go with the one you see yourself using more and playing more games on (for example, do you play COD? Apex? GTAV? (and VI when it comes out)? If not, OLED Deck will serve you well, but if you do play those games with anti-cheat, long term the Go will do better despite having only 16GB of RAM.
