I get that windows sucks, but having used both the screen on the ROG is just sooooo much better. Text looks much more crisp and I do have the option to run some other launchers and games I couldn't on the deck. Also the download speeds are way faster for some reason.
This is why I want supported ports of SteamOS to the competitor devices
Fun fact, there's an advanced dev option on the steam deck to not power limit the WiFi card and it downloads 5-10x faster if you disable the power savings in my experience
Is the OLED deck competition?
IMO no, only because I do really like the option to run more than just the steam launcher. Like the battle net or Epic launcher. Also when I play some games like Dinkum I like to turn infinite energy on to make the game more chill and I can't run WeMod on the deck.
Are you comparing it to the LCD Steam Deck or the newer OLED screen one?
The original one, to be fair
I haven't tried the ROG unit, but I can say the LCD and OLED Steam Deck displays are like night and day. It's a significant upgrade, and I'd be interested to see how the ROG display compares with the current Steam Deck.
