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

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

FOMO with Oled
It's always relative. An OLED panel on a Steam Deck is amazing.... when the price starts at $549 and ends at $649. Then you can't get it because of the lack of availability and now it's some kind of unicorn. It's not. I own it. I like it a lot. But it's not the be all, end all of anything. The only

Stuck between 2 options, please help!
Any accessories included with either? At that price, I’d go with the Z1E, give it to your sister when you upgrade. Recent Ebay sales to compare for Ally X. Unless it’s the Xbox Ally X with the controller-like sides? If there’s no accessories included, I think flat $600 is fair, but still not a steal

Original Legion Go with Z1 Extreme now costs $1,000 after latest price hike
This makes no sense, and I don't see how anyone can blame AI for that... Yeah sure, it's harder to source RAM/SSD, but Lenovo is definitely trying to price themselves out of the market. ASUS sells a lot more devices (Ally) than Lenovo, and they haven't increased their prices. Same for Steam, which s

Xbox ally
The base ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) is IMO the best bang for buck available right now. They’re going for $450ish refurbished (excellent condition) on EBay rn and is prolly top two in terms most powerful handhelds (behind Z2 Extreme). The base X Box Ally is newer but noticeably less powerful. It’s more ef
