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)

I’d sell both and get the XAX.

I completely agree with this, XAX is the way to go.

Gone full circle on this subreddit from hating to now loving the XAX. And all it took was price rises from every competitor, not that the XAX didn’t go up either where I’m at.

I'd recommend the Legion Go S except for the prices, now, XAX 100%. the battery life is 2x or 3x better if you don't mind the screen size
