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

Is 1080p a must or will 720p look blurry?

For people that don't get how good a 7" screen is. Gaming at 720p on the XAX looks great compared to 720p on a Legion Go S. The smaller screen just has a higher dpi which doesn't get mentioned much.

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.

Choosing the right handheld

That's the kind of informations I was looking for. I have read that the Legion Go S could become very loud, which I would avoid if I'm gonna end up sometimes to play in the bed. How noisy is the XAX? To be honest, I would try to save some money and get one used, but in very good condition. Happy to

Which handheld should I buy?

I have to be honest and just caution how much weight you put into what you read on Reddit lately as it is just bot central. I am a little out of handhelds currently as I went to XR experience and am streaming my games to my Apple Vision Pro m5. Talk about a giant investment when I was originally loo

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

Legion Go S or 2

Ok this is a request I see quite a bit. It's a good question. I'll explain from my perspective and maybe it will help you. Personally, for me I don't think the Legion go 2 is worth the extra price increase. Especially if you consider the price when the original Legion go when it came out in oct 2023
