I’ve been testing the ASUS ROG Ally X Xbox Edition for the past few months as a longtime Steam Deck OLED user… and I have thoughts.
The hardware is genuinely amazing — powerful performance, premium feel, excellent ergonomics — but Windows continues to hold handheld gaming PCs back in ways that are hard to ignore.
In this video, I compare the ROG Ally X experience against the Steam Deck, talk about the Xbox/Game Pass integration, performance improvements, UI frustrations, and why SteamOS still feels like the better handheld gaming experience overall.
Is Windows ruining handheld gaming PCs?
