[@nathanjuan6042]

You can use the Ally's analog for navigating Windows like a mouse; it's not that difficult-RB and RT act as left and right click. Personally, I haven't used my touchscreen for navigation with my Ally, so I'm not sure why some people find it difficult. Perhaps they're just biased, but that's just my opinion though. Another point to consider is that the Ally can play all games without a problem, including modern AAA games at 1080p 120hz with VRR, so I believe it deserves to be in the A tier. If the Deck is on tier A which has weaker processor and has limitations in games and only has 800p Ally should be on A as well or even S tier since it can do more. Gamepass, Epic games, Steam games and other more

[@menliondoes7387]

if the majority of people are saying that windows is difficult to navigate on the rog ally, maybe your the one who's biased... also higher numbers doesn't equal better product.

[@nathanjuan6042]

@@menliondoes7387 Majority of people find it difficult ? 🤦‍♂️ You mean some people not majority 😂 How sure are you that its majority? Maybe steamdeck users only that haven't even touch a ROG ally device because they can't afford it. Even a 10 year can operate it easily.

[@nathanjuan6042]

​@@oxzak9093 I've owned a PS Vita from 2012 to 2015, then switched to the Switch in 2022. I've also had the chance to play my brother-in-law's PS5, and I can say I've had a similar experience using it with my Ally. When you open the Ally, it goes straight to Armoury Crate, where all games and game launchers are readily available. You don't even need to navigate through Windows to operate it. However, if you prefer, you can easily switch to desktop mode with just a click. It's literally click-and-play. If you're struggling to use it, then perhaps the issue lies with you, not the Ally. It's designed to be intuitive, so if you're still having trouble, maybe the problem is you.

[@yogibear2k220]

The only problem with Games Consoles is that you not only have to pay for the consoles itself, but also pay for the always online Internet connection, pay for their crappy subscription services and pay for all games, where, with the PC, you just buy a pre-built, or build it yourself, and you can game on it straight away. No subscription costs, no always on internet connection and 1000's of free games which can come from anywhere and not just the propitiatory store than the companies force you to use.

[@kylespevak6781]

My best friend keeps telling me he prefers buying $400 consoles every few years

[@stephenpawking]

I actually have a $1200 pc. Well. More like $1000 without the monitor. I can play 4k ok mostish games playing around with the settings. I still prefer my xbox series x over it. It's just so much more convenient, so much more faster. Just turn on and play, it has the quick resume feature which means I can leave single player games running up to like 5? Even if the xbox is unplugged they stay opened. Gamepass is great too, so I don't really replay many games if any. So the fact that there are like +450 games I can try out in gamepass. Idk it's just me but I prefer it over my pc

[@eyomme1]

But here's the kicker. The complexity of a PC is it's biggest weakness. Majority of people who just wants to play games doesn't want to deal with PCs' intricacy. They just want to buy/download a game and press play. No BS tweaking of settings and dealing with a crap ton of settings just to make the most out of your investment. Not to mention, most console games that were ported to the PC are buggy especially at launch. That's why in my opinion, as much as I love my gaming PC, it would never be the "de facto" "master race" when it comes to gaming.

Sometimes, the planets align, and two different tech channels release the same day a console rank fight; now it's our time to decide who we agree with.

Series s, with an attachable screen, makes it the best ever. Not only is it super portable, but you don't even need a TV to play games. I'm booting up Dragons Dogma 2 from my hotel room and only the console is plugged in. It's kinda awesome.

[@kylespevak6781]

[@mindofmatt_2240]

The ROG Ally has been my favorite since I got it lol and the PS5 is a very close second

[@Techmej]

Personally, I absolutely *love* the Series S in concept, but it just doesn’t work for me when I need backwards compatibility with my Xbox 360 DVD’s and I don’t have the money to re-purchase my games or buy a subscription. The slight upcharge for the Series X or PS5 is absolutely worth it for people like me, and I’m telling you that you won’t regret it, especially if you travel a lot and migrate TV’s.

[@MrDkspur]

[@noahhayden2076]

The Xbox series S does not have a disc drive to play movies so you would have to buy a separate DVD player in order to do that when the Xbox series x has a DVD player Blu-ray built into the consul. I say this because I use movies on my Xbox series X.

[@stephenpawking]

Bruh, not everyone watches movies on their console. It's a GAMING console. Plus he's not taking that into consideration, he's talking about the best deal for gaming. Personally I've never ever bought a movie physically. And I haven't bought a physically game disc since 2017. And I know a lot of people who haven't either. And if you just care about being able to play with no problems. The S is the best deal. Although I do care about visuals so I did get an X
