In May, Valve put the Steam Deck OLED price up by nearly half. Memory and storage costs, their words, and the machine itself did not change. A new 1TB on Shopee is close to RM4,000 right now.
The Ally X went the same way. A new one is close to RM4,000 and even used ones on Shopee start around RM3,600.
Mine is RM2,999.
Cheaper than every other Ally X on there, about RM1,900 under a new Steam Deck, and on the benchmarks it is the faster machine of the two. The whole comparison is in the pictures, just swipe.
Slide 7 is the honest other side. The Deck still wins on the screen and the trackpads, and one game in the same benchmark run actually ran smoother on it. I have handled and sold both, so this is not me talking down a machine I have never touched.
The Ally X is here. Message me and I will tell you straight if it suits how you play.
