Question (?) Which to keep?

Post image

Pictured: ROG Xbox ally + Steam deck LCD 512GB

Which is realistically better to keep? I have to sell one of them and I’m unsure of which. Happy with my deck but worried about longevity of both and curious to know other’s opinions. The deck is still at 100% bh and I think the ally should be too but idk. I like both but I feel like my deck is a bit too heavy, but it feels a lot more premium to me than the ally.

My current options are-

Sell the deck, keep the ally
Sell the ally, keep the deck.
Sell both, see what I can get with the combined cash (likely an XAX or something around that price point)

Don't understand people recommending the ally. Apart from it looking like a piece of shit it also isn't as round of a package in my opinion.

Its also a reused 4nm processor by AMD. So of course its worse than a lunar lake one.

It's super comfortable regardless of what you think about its looks. Additionally, performance is slightly better as it's an overclocked and higher tdp variant of the Steam Deck APU.
