Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Ally

Strengths

The RG Li has a more powerful chipset than the Steam Deck, allowing me to enjoy some demanding AAA games on it.
By tweaking some image scaling settings, it becomes capable of playing those games on an external monitor with a nice image just like a regular PC.
It handles emulation easily, including emulating PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch games.
The screen has higher resolution and frame rate than the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, and it's also unique because unlike other handhelds, it has a variable refresh rate which I think is essential for such a device.
The image on the RG Li doesn't look as blurry compared to Lenovo Legion Go using the same resolution, and it's sharp and detailed with nice colors.
It runs Windows smoothly, and the armor crate application provides a great console experience.

Weaknesses

There is a design flaw in the micro SD card slot which may burn your SD card, despite being a well-known issue on other forums and YouTube videos.
The ergonomics and controls are not as comfortable to hold in hands as the Steam Deck, and it doesn't have touchpads which could be useful for navigating Windows or playing games that were not designed for a controller.
Battery life is poor compared to the Steam Deck, with playing some AAAA games at full power lasting just about an hour.
The software has counter bugs and crashes here and there, sometimes the external monitor doesn't work, and getting games running can be frustrating.
There are two versions of the ASUS ROG Ally with different chipsets (Z1 and Z1 Extreme), which may confuse some people when buying second-hand or new.
Asus has an awful return policy, which is a well-known issue that can make purchasing the console a risk.

Asus ExpertBook P3

Strengths

The Expert Book P3 is a business-centric notebook that packs some helpful AI tools into its AI expert meet feature, such as webcam watermark to keep an image on screen during web calls and screen watermark to splash your presentation screen with a watermark.
The display features good viewing angles and contrast, making it suitable for watching videos and writing articles.
The webcam handles lighting well, even in low light conditions, making it great for online meetings.
The notebook's performance is sufficient for everyday business needs, handling programs and apps fairly well and keeping the fan relatively cool during daily tasks.

Weaknesses

The CPU clock speed of 1.7 GHz may not be remarkable by any means, but should still be ample for day-to-day business needs.
The battery life could have been better, lasting around 10 hours in power-saving mode and getting shorter when running in performance mode or increasing the display brightness.
The speakers are not very loud and lack depth or power, making them less suitable for background music or entertainment purposes.
The notebook's fan can get quite loud during intense testing, which may be a concern for some users.
