It's Official: Xbox Has a Full-Blown Identity Crisis
I do not think you highlighted the handheld situation enough: The Asus ROG Xbox Ally non-X (with Z2 A chip) is the weakest of the bunch followed by the Asus ROG non-Xbox Ally non-X (with Z1 non-Extreme chip), but I think they are not worth purchasing or thought at all because the Steam Deck is cheap

Legion Go 2 now costs $2000, twice as much as ROG Xbox Ally X
Just wait a couple weeks. Rog Ally X will also increase. Asus has been pretty good about withstanding price hikes lately but have warned of an increase across the board a few weeks back. Long story short with sad state of gaming and pc hardware is that if you didn’t snag something in the last year y

AMD Throws Loyal Radeon Customers Into The Trash
Aka: The Steam deck but with Asus and Xbox branding for more edit: Ryzen Z2 A GPU (CPU is listed in notes) and Steam Deck GPU (CPU in console notes) If you lot look at this and think its not the same Chip, you're an idiot and believing Microsofts crappy advertising.

400 a good deal for a steam deck?
He’s talking about the non-Xbox version with Z1 Extreme chip. I just got the ASUS ROG Ally X, which has 1TB SSD, 24GB RAM and 120hz screen, for $430 used. The battery is much larger too.

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

What handheld should i get?
Secondhand ASUS ROG Ally X (2024). The performance gains of the Xbox Ally X aren’t even worth the $400+ price difference

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
