I'm a couple months in to switching my main gaming rig over to an Asus Ally X handheld I can say it works surprisingly well.
It's an Ally X with the SSD upgraded to a 4TB then a Thunderbolt-3 egpu box with the original SSD in it and a 4070 Ti Super.

Everyone knows egpu cannot keep up at rediculous FPS, but I ran across an article that looked at egpu performance loss as a function of eye candy and when you really crank things up, egpus actually keep up well. So I'm gaming at 4k on a 42" OLED and very playable framerates in everything I've thrown at it. For demanding games with some RT enabled I am doing image scaling, but many games run just fine in the 60-120 fps range in 4k ultra or near ultra.

When I want to go portable I just diconnect two usb-c cables.

At some point the 24GB RAM is going to be limiting I'm sure.

It’s considerably easier to play on the Ally in bed or at my office on the other side of my farm compared to my dual radiator, full tower build and I can lift and move each part in my wheelchair. I can barely budge the full tower.

Modular is way better when you have no core muscle use.

Plus, at the big screen or gaming in my wheelchair next to the wife as she watches TV, I’m playing the same installs and game saves, etc.
