If your Steam Deck Broke, Would You Buy Another One or a Different Handheld?

I sidegraded to the Legion Go S SteamOS version and I've sworn to never buy anything else but a Steam Deck again. While on paper it seems great, more power, better screen, steamOS, more ram, more everything. It also has it's downsides you realize when you actually use it daily. It's bulky and heavy

Opinions on trading a legion Go S for an Xbox Ally X?

I have both, I prefer the XAX over the Legion Go S. Yes, I wish the screen was a little bigger on the X, but it's not a deal breaker, the performance, ergonomics, battery life, speakers, haptics, are superior on the X. I have Bazzite installed on mine and love it (dual boot set up with Windows) As f

Are the Z2 Extreme devices likely to significantly improve in the future with software/driver updates?

The thing the Xbox Ally X Z2E has over original Ally is bigger battery, more ram and USB 4.0 ports. Performance wise it's not much. So from OG ally to XAX it's an okay upgrade, from Ally X to XAX - nah. Legion Go S Z1E with 32GB ram (if it's in question) to XAX is not a great upgrade. I'm with Ally

Finally join the cult

One of us one of us. The battery life on the Legion Go S was so bad even if I liked the console overall.

Please help me choose which bang for buck. Xbox Ally x, legion go z1 extreme, legion go 2 or steam deck oled. I'm a newbie on this

New? Legion Go S and 2 are overpriced Steam Deck OLED is unavailable Xbox Ally X is the one Legion Go 1 has less memory than the Ally X Used? Go S Z1E 32GB: Good value if you want a bigger screen or SteamOS Steam Deck OLED - Good value if you prefer Steam OS, battery life, and best customer service.

Valve is “hard at work” on Steam Deck 2, but there’s still no release window.

Look at the Legion Go S. It has a bigger screen, a slightly more powerful chip, and a bigger battery, while costing almost the same as the Steam Deck OLED. cool that exemple contradict everything you said previously, it's not Oled, it's the cheapest chip availlable and it's 3-4years younger and the
