I'd still rather the pi tbh

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

I’d buy the neo just looks cooler

antheas•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

as a tinkerer it makes sense

antheas•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

but for a general consumer the ally is a steal rn

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:14 PM

At $400 or $500 I feel like I’m splitting hairs. Get the thing you’ll be happier with longer

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:15 PM

For whatever reason

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

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:15 PM

Yeah that’s better

Jorge•4/1/24, 4:15 PM

You get an objectively better product

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

In my head, it competes with something like the Odin 2. Which isn’t the same category but the Odin 2 will blow a device like this out of the water for battery and be $100 cheaper. The z1 has terrible battery life too

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

The Pi Neo has a bigger battery than the Ally

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

(Seemingly) better controls

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

And probably better Linux support

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

and USB 4

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:16 PM

That wins it for me

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:17 PM

Last i read the non extreme on windows lasts like 1.5 hours or something silly

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:17 PM

Pi Neo also offers 8840U if you want that

59smoke•4/1/24, 4:18 PM

I need a locally hosted chat gpt AI wife

ValerieOP•4/1/24, 4:19 PM

Need me a llama wife

VValerie I'd still rather the pi tbh

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:21 PM

Ally is already cheaper than the 499usd OPi model if that’s even gonna be msrp

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:21 PM

Might just be early bird

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:21 PM

But again

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:21 PM

Many different handhelds, many different options, there are no bad options as long as their name isn’t Ayaneo

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:22 PM

:trol:

Ellis•4/1/24, 4:22 PM

Although the Air Plus 6800U and the Air 1S aren’t bad options

Smabe•4/1/24, 4:22 PM

for most people the steamdeck is probably the best option just from ease of use and it being moooostly stable. The ally has had a bunch of issues due to weird windows updates recently
