What stood out to me is how bad the Ally can be in certain games when not plugged in. 1% and. 1% lows that are worse than either of the decks. The best thing about the old deck (other than the screen) is battery life. In Dead Cells it beat the lcd decks 6 hours with 8 hours of battery life while running at 90 fps instead of 60 (the ally lasted 2-3 hours depending on refresh rate). Obviously this is not a very gpu heavy scenario but still significant in my opinion.
