iFixit teardown reveals ASUS' ROG Ally is easier to pry open than the Steam Deck
 

If the ease of repairs influences your choice in handheld gaming PCs, you might want to consider the ROG Ally. iFixit just finished a teardown of ASUS' machine, and it's noticeably easier to open than Valve's Steam Deck. For one, the battery is much less painful to remove — it mostly involves removing screws where Valve's power pack is glued in. It's also relatively trivial to remove the thumbsticks and their circuit boards on the Ally, so you might have a solution if stick drift becomes a problem. As on the Steam Deck, SSD upgrades are simple if you find a sufficiently tiny drive.
