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

BThis is probably the price Asus should have launched with, crappier performance aside
Kyeah but for 399 I can get a Steam Deck LCD 256 and have an objectively better experience
BAlso true
BIf someone was planning to get this for bazzite, I'd say steam deck all day honestly
BIf the person is in the market for a cheap windows handheld, this is probably calling their name....but
B
A400 bucks thats solid
Ayes the oled has some benefits but availability is a big problem
ADoesn't the Ally already have a decent return rate because of Windows
AOr for some other reason
KThat's what I've heard
VI think so?
A:catStare:
VAnyway, the Z1E ally is good. The Z1 ally is not.
Kso, fun website fact I haven't said here yet
Adecky loader rebrand
KWe now list maintainers & top contributors, as well as image pulls for bazzite & star count
Ain what way is the Z1 slower than the deck does it just consume more power or something, what's up with it
VPretty sure it loses in CPU and GPU?
JTo be fair the rog ally Z1 has better build quality, screen, speakers and performs only slightly worse
VIt's not good
VBetter screen is not good on less power
JYou can find Best Buy open box one for 250-300
AOUCH
JStill better for general use and older games
VIs it though?
JIt’s priced like a used 64gb or 256gb steam deck
Ahey guys 400$ for such a device with a 30day return window and pick up from your local store and windows license
KWith the new discount it is exactly equal to the 256 LCD Deck, new
5I 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
Aalso blows sd perf for docked use
V...I'd rather the Deck lol
Sit's $299 at best buy if you find an open box :3
Ayou get a solid laptop for /5 the price
Ayou cant even get a nuk for this price
Athis is raspberry pi territory
5You can get an N100 for $130ish
5By the time you buy a good power supply for the pi or get an m.2 it’s about there
Aexactly its a steal
Aorange pi doa unfortunately it seems
Acalled it
Vwhat?
Aif you can get an ally for 100$ off
Acome on now
Aincluding sales tax
VI'd still rather the pi tbh
5I’d buy the neo just looks cooler
Aas a tinkerer it makes sense
Abut for a general consumer the ally is a steal rn
