Just got my Ally a few days back, quite amazing how great this thing performs. Night and day difference compared to the Steam Deck. Definitely worth the purchase.

Nice to see you can install Linux on this as well.

I don't really like it's white though.

Not a big fan of Linux, not a bad OS overall.. Just too many work-arounds that I can't be bothered with.
I wasn't keen on the white as well when originally purchasing, it did grow on me over time. I'm much happier with this system than the Steam Deck as a whole. The FM I'm working on can be demanding on some systems, the Ally runs it much better than I anticipated.

It is a nice device. It runs windows so an special installer to run tdm is not needed. 

But which fm do you run on that device, from the picture?

What are you talking about? Linux uses the same installer.

Actually, recently I was looking for a not too expensive laptop with not so bad gaming performance. Maybe I could get one of these handhelds instead and plug it in a portable screen, like the ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH for example.

I guess you might need an external keyboard as well..

How good are the controls for regular use like browsing the web?

What I don't like about the Asus ROG Ally compared to the Steamdeck is that it doesn't have trackpads.

 

There's also this device with a 5.5" OLED screen:

That is my own current FM that I'm working on.

The Ally not having trackpads is not an issue for me, the touch screen is super responsive (not the case for the SD), feels like a refined tablet/phone. 

I would imagine RTS games are the only time the trackpads would be useful.

      Well, this is just sad...I was not able to play any Thief or TDM whatsoever, why? Too busy the past 2 months, this month I'm not as busy BUT it's also very heaty in my place.
      I can't play Thief when it's not at least 15c or lower, the game demands to be played when it's cold for...Well, may sound stupid but I'll just say it, for that "immersion".
      It's kinda like playing Quake during Summer, which unless it's the Summer Jam mod, I don't think it's as fun.

      The preliminary working titles for the missions in my now-in-development Partners in Crime series: 
      - Partners in Crime 1: A Mere Trinket
      - Partners in Crime 2: Beacon Burglary
      - Partners in Crime 3: In the Bleak Midwinter
      - Partners in Crime 4 (5 ?): Fishy Dealings
      - Partners in Crime 5 (4 ?): A Thief in the Night

      No title stealing, please.  In return, I promise to finish these. I do stress the preliminary part. Beyond the broad strokes storyline, plot, objectives, briefings and the (currently built) layouts of these FMs, I haven't fully decided about every single detail yet, including the exact order of the missions (4 and 5 might switch places, with the story adjusted accordingly). I want the overall plot to be plotted out a bit in advance and not suffer too much from inserting prequels later. I also prefer to let my FM building fill out part of the details naturally.

      Currently working on the second FM, and once I do enough work on the current prototype, I'll work on the first one, until I get that one released. Then complete the second one, get that one ready for release (hopefully) a few months later, and so on. I want most of the early missions to be fairly small and confined, and get a bit bigger as I grow more confident in my FM making skills.

      Though there is an overarching storyline to this series, the missions themselves are mostly episodic in nature. They factor into the character development of the two main characters I'll have in the series, but it's the kind of continuity where the mission's own plot and story wouldn't depend on it.
