        OK, that’s true for a few places, but why is it true in the majority of casss where people are buying the ROG?

      I bought it because I was able to go to Best Buy and trade in my Mac Book for a gift card and walk out with one.

      It’s got better specs on paper but in practice, my Steam Deck just just about everything without issue, even new games and most games that are “unsupported” (at least as far as I’ve tried).

      Some people might also like the layout better or just be fond of Asus as a company from the good old days when they were actually decent.

      Because they don’t need touchpads and like an asymmetrical layout

      As a Steam Deck Expensive Edition owner, I will say the Ally is atleast prettier…

      Not that that would be a deciding factor for me, but some people care about that…
