Switch 2 Incoming

I’ve played on a few handhelds so I can clarify, the Steam Deck is much more bulky and less ergonomic than the Switch 2. As well it’s a Linux based system so if you don’t use the Steam version you need to use different workarounds and it’s not the most efficient thing in the world. I’ve also used an

Ist das Steam Deck 2026 noch der beste Handheld PC?

Für den Preis eines Steam Deck OLEDs ist es einfach nicht mehr das beste Preis LEistungsverhältnis. Das mit dem besten PLV ist wohl momentan das Asus ROG Xbox Ally X (Ja ich weiß der Name ist furchtbar) Die Leistung übersteigt die des Steam Deck um das Doppelte. Die Ergonomie vom Ally ist herausrage

ASUS ROG Ally X vs ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X

Hab eine ROG Ally X, beste Kaufentscheidung für mich was reisen und/oder Nachtschichten angeht. Steamdeck kam für mich nie in Frage. Unterschiede:- Die Xbox Ally X hat einen dedizierten Xbox-Button und startet generell in die Xbox-App als erstes, die Ally X in die von ASUS- XBOX Ally X ist bisschen

Best handheld for a budget of 700-800$?

Got my Xbox ally x at Best Buy open box excellent condition for $870. I think it was super worth it, essentially brand new. The “good” condition open box ones (one level down) go for I think $830? Could ask to see one in that condition before you buy it. To the best of my knowledge, the Xbox ally NO

How are y'all dealing with the weight? (Legion Go 1)

I don’t think it’s about the weight but more so the ergonomics. I hate the ergonomics on it. The LeGo S is bad too. It got extremely uncomfortable to hold and play games. I returned it and got an ASUS ROG Ally X (2024) instead. Half the price, better ergonomics, same performance, better battery, mor

Unpopular opinion, the steam deck and the original z1 extreme ally are still the best handhelds on the market.

I don't know that this is an unpopular opinion. As someone who owns or has owned several handhelds, I don't disagree with you. 2026 with all it's price insanity has allowed a little of the FOMO to retreat and evaluate what's what with the handheld marketplace. Sure, there are absolutely iterative el

New to Handhelds

I ran out of work to get an Asus Ally X + Spigen carry/travel case for $450, that’s a great deal! Xbox Ally X for $700 is also a good deal! I’d go with the cheaper one unless you’re concerned about ergonomics & want the controller-like feel + 20% better processor (Z2E over Z1E). Although if you more

Please help me decide...

If you don’t mind the slightly smaller screen, I’d consider the ASUS ROG Ally X (2024) second-hand. It has the same chip as both of these, 24GB RAM, and 80wAh battery. I got mine for $430 USD off of Facebook Marketplace. It’s so much easier to hold and the battery is significantly better than both o

Is the screen of Steam Deck small for you?

I prioritize comfort over screen. It’s why I returned my LeGo S Z1E, it gave me tons of fatigue when holding it in bed and the battery was awful. I ended up getting a used ASUS ROG Ally X (2024) for nearly half the cost with the same performance, and it’s significantly more comfortable to hold. I do
