No idea about handhelds as I'm an exclusive PC gamer - what OS do these devices come with if not SteamOS? Aren't other OSes far inferior?
ROG Ally comes with windows and it's very usable, I don't have any of the usual windows chicanery
How reliable is sleep? Does it actually go to sleep? Is the battery drain in sleep acceptable? Does it come out of sleep without issue? Is it fast to go to sleep and resume from sleep?
My experience with the steam deck has been absolutely stellar regarding sleep, to the point is has been a game changer. So fast to pick up for a quick game and put back to sleep even if playing just for a minute. It's reliable and the battery drain is acceptable maybe (roughly 10% per 24h but didn't measure it explicitly).
Suspending games is a hit or miss, depends on the game but I would say 70% don't work right
What issues do you encounter when you say they "don't work right"?
