Very true, but that comparison gives you two play sessions between charges on the steam deck instead of one for the ally. Considering one of the biggest criticisms of the steam deck is battery life, and as a steam deck owner, I find the ally very uncompelling. It goes out of its way in almost every aspect to draw more power: runs windows, higher-power chip, higher-resolution screen. Then does nothing to solve battery life. What's the point of a handheld if you're tethered to a wall, a smaller bag to carry the charging brick?
The ally just seems to be chasing 'look how high the specs can go' instead of practically improving on the steam deck.
