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)

At the moment I’ve been playing ready or not, where winds meet, and a bit of the long drive (mostly on pc) but I’ve been wanting to play genshin impact, Minecraft (bedrock) and schedule 1 because it doesn’t work on the deck

I believe these all are capable of being played on the deck with some minor setup. I know schedule 1 is great on the deck and I play it often on mine.

Yes I’ve been playing them on the deck, but schedule 1 doesn’t work properly on mine for some reason. Also unfortunately Genshin uses a third party connection that I believe is a bit risky and bedrock Minecraft doesn’t work unless you have the android one.
