The screen is actually great?

Even the next ROG Ally X by ASUS and Microsoft which costs $700-$1000 doesn’t have an OLED VRR screen because it doesn’t exist (edit: and ASUS has confirmed that they weren’t willing to compromise on VRR to put an OLED panel in there). I don’t know why people seem to be holding Nintendo to a standar

AMD Throws Loyal Radeon Customers Into The Trash

Ist das Steam Deck 2026 noch der beste Handheld PC?

Kommt alles sehr auf deinen Geschmack und deine bestehende Library an. Meine Subjektive Wahrnehmung der Geräte: ROG Ally Z1E ~350€ Gebraucht gibt's das ROG Ally Z1E, welches mit Upscaling und einer (von einem selbst nachträglich verbauten) 80Wh Batterie einen gerne mal 4h Witcher 3 auf 1080p 60FPS s

Legion Go 2 (OLED VRR) vs ROG Ally X (LCD VRR): Is the gap as big as we think?

100%. I returned my Rog Xbox Ally X due to the screen size just not doing it for me (as well as the Windows OS just being a pain for handheld still). As soon as I used an 8" screen on the Legion Go S, I immediately felt the same. 8" is perfect size for all games without being so big it doesn't feel

Is VRR important to you?

Used a Steam Deck for years.... when games would get tight in FPS, I would watch a studder and not be smooth. It drove me nuts. In fact, going from 60fps to 40 on a steam deck I found some games unplayable. I moved to a Rog Ally X with VRR, and watch FPS, the drop from 60 to 40-45fps is not really n

Asus to reveal their next-gen handheld at Computex in June

Asus better, and I mean BETTER, give us an upgraded screen, preferably 8inches+ and OLED. The sheer audacity that Asus had to REUSE the same screen that they had on the OG Ally, first on the AllyX and then AGAIN on the XBox Ally is just off the charts. Many folks switched over to the LeGO2 and for g

Thinking of upgrading

I have a Legion GO 1, ROG Ally Z1e, and a Steamdeck OLED. I find myself reaching for my Steamdeck OLED most times. Note I have not installed bazzite or Steam OS on my other 2 devices. The battery life is horrible on my GO and Ally, Steam OS is more pleaseant to work with on a handheld. I did install

This is why we love handhlend gaming. Forza Horizon 6 at 35.000 feet while looking over horizon.

Oh yeah that will kill your battery quicker. I usually play at 30fps on handhelds. Something about the form factor makes it seem smooth. Even Forza at 30 feels good on my ROG Xbox Ally X and looks really good.

Why does r/handhelds love contradiction?

OP telling everyone they've never seen a laptop or handheld BOM without saying they've never seen a laptop or handheld BOM. The OLED in the Legion Go 2 doesn't cost Lenovo more than $100. It's probably around $75. Even if Lenovo puts a 30% margin over the the panel alone and assuming it's $100, that

Forza Horizon 6 looks incredible on the Legion Go 2

I sold my Legion Go for the Xbox ROG Ally X. The screen is literally the only good thing about that device. The feel, the software quality, the Analogue sticks, driver updates.... All terrible.
