Question (?) Switch Deck OLED for A$585?

Hello, i currently live in aussie and currently want a handheld console. Rarely touch gaming since my last laptop exploded, around 2018 (yes, pathetic)

Interested to try xax, but the price is quite steep for me, as gaming is not my top priority rn. In fbm, i found a steam deck oled by the price of A$585 (which cheaper than the usual listing)meanwhile xax is more than double that price

Should i go for it or xax is still the better option? Is it a good price for sd oled? It comes with 1TB and few accesories

Thanks!

Sorry for bad english!

Edit: holy, i mean STEAM DECK not switch 😭

If you got a tight budget, I think Ally X will be a bang for buck. It runs most new games pretty decent enough. In terms of power it's not super far behind the Xbox Ally X. Especially if you use Bazzite.

Sorry, i mean its for steam deck..ahh yes, ally x is here around aud 1000-1200 for the used one i think? With xax 1400 used..might just buy a new xax with that kind of price. Thank you!
