It's such a shit product

B_Wize•4/1/24, 4:03 PM

Well now the price difference between the 2 models actually reflects the performance gap

B_Wize•4/1/24, 4:04 PM

This is probably the price Asus should have launched with, crappier performance aside

yeah but for 399 I can get a Steam Deck LCD 256 and have an objectively better experience

B_Wize•4/1/24, 4:04 PM

Also true

B_Wize•4/1/24, 4:04 PM

If someone was planning to get this for bazzite, I'd say steam deck all day honestly

B_Wize•4/1/24, 4:05 PM

If the person is in the market for a cheap windows handheld, this is probably calling their name....but

400 bucks thats solid

antheas•4/1/24, 4:05 PM

yes the oled has some benefits but availability is a big problem

VValerie Pretty much what I said in another discord lmfao

Doesn't the Ally already have a decent return rate because of Windows

Atapi•4/1/24, 4:08 PM

Or for some other reason

AAtapi Doesn't the Ally already have a decent return rate because of Windows

Kyle Gospo•4/1/24, 4:08 PM

That's what I've heard

AAtapi Doesn't the Ally already have a decent return rate because of Windows

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:08 PM

I think so?

Atapi•4/1/24, 4:08 PM

:catStare:

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:08 PM

Anyway, the Z1E ally is good. The Z1 ally is not.

Kyle Gospo•4/1/24, 4:09 PM

so, fun website fact I haven't said here yet

antheas•4/1/24, 4:09 PM

decky loader rebrand

Kyle Gospo•4/1/24, 4:09 PM

We now list maintainers & top contributors, as well as image pulls for bazzite & star count

Atapi•4/1/24, 4:09 PM

in what way is the Z1 slower than the deck does it just consume more power or something, what's up with it

AAtapi in what way is the Z1 slower than the deck does it just consume more power or so...

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

Pretty sure it loses in CPU and GPU?

KKyle Gospo "Hi I would like a device slower than a steam deck with a 1080p display please" ...

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

To be fair the rog ally Z1 has better build quality, screen, speakers and performs only slightly worse

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

It's not good

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

Better screen is not good on less power

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

You can find Best Buy open box one for 250-300

KKyle Gospo Click to see attachment

Atapi•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

OUCH

VValerie Better screen is not good on less power

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:10 PM

Still better for general use and older games

JJorge Still better for general use and older games

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

Is it though?

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

It’s priced like a used 64gb or 256gb steam deck

antheas•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

hey guys 400$ for such a device with a 30day return window and pick up from your local store and windows license

JJorge It’s priced like a used 64gb or 256gb steam deck

Kyle Gospo•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

With the new discount it is exactly equal to the 256 LCD Deck, new

AAtapi Doesn't the Ally already have a decent return rate because of Windows

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

I heard this on a podcast and checked my local Best Buy and there were a few open boxes. One was a non-extreme one for $330 that’s the only deal I’d look at but even then idk, I might rather have a higher end retro handheld

antheas•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

also blows sd perf for docked use

KKyle Gospo With the new discount it is exactly equal to the 256 LCD Deck, new

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:11 PM

...I'd rather the Deck lol

Smabe•4/1/24, 4:12 PM

it's $299 at best buy if you find an open box :3

antheas•4/1/24, 4:12 PM

you get a solid laptop for /5 the price

antheas•4/1/24, 4:12 PM

you cant even get a nuk for this price

antheas•4/1/24, 4:12 PM

this is raspberry pi territory

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:12 PM

You can get an N100 for $130ish

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

By the time you buy a good power supply for the pi or get an m.2 it’s about there

antheas•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

exactly its a steal

antheas•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

orange pi doa unfortunately it seems

antheas•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

called it

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

what?

antheas•4/1/24, 4:13 PM

if you can get an ally for 100$ off

antheas•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

come on now

antheas•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

including sales tax

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

I'd still rather the pi tbh

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

I’d buy the neo just looks cooler
