Nope it is the ROG Ally : better design and form factor, better autonomy (OLED is fine but need more power), cheaper, better desktop solution (you can print), Xbox pass.
As usual dishonest people will down vote.
Windows on handheld is battery drain and UI/UX is the worst on there, worse design(i just say "destroying Microsd" and then not even repair that flaw and scam their customers from their repairs ), clump of plastic with no ergonomic, propiatary connector for external gpu ( steamdeck doesnt need that as its good enough for 99% ) cheaper? ????????? Desktop solution and their "ROG Ally software" is crappy 10$ development. Linux > Windows on handheld for battery and performance. You only get windows for xbox game pass. ( There are alternatives on linux too i think ).
The prices are almost equal, steamdeck you can easier upgrade and have better support and community ( see you ), the oled on steamdeck is peak and controlls are the best there.
Steamdeck is a bit more portable as it isnt as THICK as the ROG Ally. + Valve doesnt iterate every year over their handheld but updates their os.
Every serious battery life test will teach you that the ROG is the winner. I bough a brand new ROG for 350 bucks. Good luck to get a better price for a steamdeck. For the weight my ROG : 608g / Steamdeck : 669g.
I doubt the battery live as its on windows and has more beefed up specs to supporg windows. Ok i had one in my hands i guess ergonomics are completly different when it felt heavier.
350 bucks i get a steamdeck too i guess if it eats my sd cards its an ok price to pay
