Steam Deck vs Legion Go S SteamOS

alright I'll bite. I've owned the Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, MSI Claw 8 AI+, Legion go S and Legion go 2. I am a life long xbox and pc gamer. I did have a PS3 and PS4 but didn't ever end up with a PS5. Steam Deck got me back into handheld gaming. I had it for about a year and sold it to get something w

Steamdeck alternative for current AAA games

The Deck runs a four-core Zen 2 CPU. The Go S has two SKUs, the Z2 Go has a four-core Zen 3+ CPU whereas the Z1 Extreme variant has an eight-core Zen 4, so it's already far better than the Deck.

On the ROG Ally, I got around 75–100 FPS, while on the MSI Claw I’m getting 85–120 FPS on high settings. I dont play AAA games on my handhelds like God of War or so. The screen is

Msi Claw A8 in white.

How cheap does the Claw A8 actually feel? And how is the cooling performance? I'm still deciding between the Legion Go 2, Claw A8, and Claw A8 AI+.What bothers me about the Legion Go 2 are the detachable controllers, the overwhelming number of buttons, and the heavy weight.With the Claw A8, my conce

What handheld is the best for replacing all my lost gaming devices?

Xbox Ally X is the best do-everything handheld IMO. Good performance, battery, great ergonomics, just a perfect all-in-one package. MSI Claw 8ai+ is a little less refined but has a bigger 8 inch screen. However, I wouldn’t recommend either to fully replace a gaming PC. If you want raw performance, t
