Anyone came back to SD OLED after other more powerful handhelds?

Haven’t gone back yet BUT! Had a Steam Deck LCD. Gave it to a family member because I got a Legion Go for a very low price. Loved the screen. Did not love the ergonomics. Installed SteamOS on it as soon as the Legion Go S came out and Steam supported it officially. Ergonomics continued to irk me. Th

Comparing the ROG Xbox Ally X to other handhelds. Does it compete with the higher end or lower end matket [Strictly Performance Only; Don’t look at Value]

The 2025 Xbox Ally X will have about 15-20% performance uplift as compared to the 2023 ROG Ally X. The other specs are essentially the same. However, as someone who has played with both devices, the ergonomic design on the new Xbox Ally is a major improvement to the previous Ally’s. Imo, it’s far an

What are the top 3 best handhelds out right now?

I’d say MSI Claw 8ai+ is the best all rounder right now. 8 inch screen still smaller than LeGo 2, good battery size, good power with the intel chip. Only downside for me was the software and lack of support for bazzite/steamOS. A portable but more powerful option is the Onexfly F1 Pro. OLED screen i

Xbox Ally X -- WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

The hate is beyond logic... XAX has the same specs with MSI claw 8 but with AI variant of the chip that will have auto sr and a smaller screen and in Europe it costs 150€ less and more than 400€(!!!) less than legion go 2. Yes it has the inferior screen but its way cheaper than all other handhelds.

Which handheld PC is better between these 2?

I have both, they are both really good, I’m still testing them to decide which one I prefer, I’m slightly leaning more towards the Ayaneo 3 at the moment: The Onexfly: lighter (~99g) fans are quieter and less whiny, although it runs slightly hotter (Ayaneo 3 fan is a lot more powerful) surprisingly

MSI Claw A8 Vs Claw 8 AI+ Ergonomics

I'll accept the downvotes OP because this is essentially the MSI Claw 8AI sub. The objective answer is that the A8 is more ergonomic, whatever your hand shape or size. It is both lighter and has actual grips to hold onto it.

Best Handheld PC?

You could play all listed ganes on the steam deck which is a much lower price then other handhelds. If your against the steam deck. Rog Xbox Ally X will probably have the best ergonomics. Legion go 2 has the best screen and an extra 8gbs of ram. Msi Claw 8ai+ is the most powerful available. Decent s

What made you decide to buy Xbox ROG Ally X instead of Legion Go 2?

Ergonomics. So far I’ve tried a legion go, MSI Claw 8ai but nothing can beat this thing. Can’t imagine using the legion go 2 being heavier.

Would you recommend the Claw 8 over the Legion Go 2?

Just to expound, I just feel like with all these devices you are going to be compromising in some ways. Looking at the market I just feel the A8 is the device that offers the least amount of compromises. Performance - all the same really Efficiency - claw 8ai edges it slightly Ergonomics - go and cl

Win 5 feel- cheap or premium?

Definitely premium. I own a Rog ally x. My friend used my GPD Win5 and I used his MSI claw. He feels that the Win5 is better to hold even with the battery.
