The Xbox Ally has finally stepped up as an affordable Steam Deck stand-in, albeit with frame rate caveats
The ASUS ROG Ally is now a more compelling alternative to the Steam Deck OLED due to significant discounts, making it a more affordable handheld gaming PC. However, the base model's Z2 chipset offers a noticeable performance gap compared to the more powerful Z1 Extreme found in its sibling and competitors, impacting frame rates in demanding titles. Despite these caveats, the ROG Ally remains the most affordable new portable PC option currently available.
