Every time I see this thing I wonder wtf Asus was thinking when they neglected to put trackpads on it

right? as if windows wasn't already bad for handhelds

I always think of the LTT review where he says you need it plugged in with a kb+m for it to be useable and that he recommends it over the Steamdeck

Hah! Missed that one. Steam OS is the Steam Deck's secret sauce. Even when you have to go into Desktop Mode, it's okay without a KB+M. I wouldn't want to use it as a laptop replacement without KB+M and maybe an external monitor mind you, but it's usable.

I haven't test driven an ROG Ally, but the though of Windows on a handheld fills me with dread for any interaction that devolves to the desktop.
