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

„Just get a Steam Deck“ is true
Performance is better?Right now i'm with a legion go z2go 32gb of ram and performance is 20-30% better on it.You're sure you was playing at 800p on it? Because if not, then yeah, 1200p on the go s will give you worse performance than a steam deck at 800p...

Two amazing deals - Which one do I keep?
Performance: Legion Battery: Steam Deck - Legion Go S really struggles here Ergonomics: Steam Deck Screen: Legion - both good but Go wins slightly to size, higher hz, and VRR Speakers: Steam Deck - gap can be closed by using DeckSP decky plugin on Go Track pad(s): Steam Deck - Legion’s trackpad is l

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

Which do you recommend: the Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme or the Lenovo Legion Go Z2 Standard?
So I decided on a Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme, but wouldn't a Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme be better? It has a larger screen and detachable controls.

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.

Which handheld for strategy/indie games (Civ & FM)? Legion Go S vs. Steam Deck OLED?
Didn't play either, but I have played some RTS and other mouse heavy PC games on the deck. I think the legion go S would be a huge headache for you to wrangle into feeling even usable for those kinds of games. The track pads on the deck not only function well as a mouse, but also are fantastic for s

Cancel my Odin 2 portal for MSI Claw A8?
I owned the Odin 2 Portal, ist a fantastic device. But its mainly an emulation Handheld, and extremely limited in emulating PC games. Even lightweight games wont run that wel on it right now. For your usecase a x86 handheld is a better choice. Well, I might know a better alternative for you! :) One
