Agreed. It's also ideal as a companion to pretty much anything, it's a fantastic device.
I meant Mac users specifically. Regular Windows users would probably be less annoyed by Windows on a ROG Ally but SteamOS is the closest thing to an Apple experience for PC games.
Perhaps. I haven't used the ROG Ally or any of the Windows-based PC handhelds, so I can only speak for how much I enjoy my Steam Deck.
That said, the "Apple experience" would be a Switch. It just works, looks sleek, and it costs way more than it should given the hardware specs. Yeah, it's not a PC handheld, but that's where I'd expect most Apple users to go for games.
Obviously I've meant for PC games. True video game consoles are on yet another level.
