Give it to me straight - what’s the consensus on Steam Deck OLED?
The reason for the split is some people treat handheld PCs as a secondary gaming device, so their expectations regarding higher end demanding games are lower as they can game on a PS5/PC and/or game stream demanding games. While others treat handheld PCs as their primary gaming device either due to

Windows hate is overblown.
I think it's mostly around the current implementation of windows on handhelds. It's a standard version of windows, with some extra bits on top to shoehorn it onto handhelds. Steamos was purpose built with handhelds in mind. It's also based on arch Linux and runs only what's required. Whereas you got

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

What is going on with the handheld gaming revolution?
Well, this post misses the point. Steamdeck (and the unmentioned Switch) can both sell with low prices or even at a loss because they both have great revenue with their games/store. And, while your post might make sense in a vacuum, the reality is that Lenovo could not keep up with the preorders on

Intel "Lunar Lake" Updated PL2 Setting Can Yield Up to 30% Higher Gaming Performance
In our retest, Cyberpunk 2077 and Space Marine 2 achieved nearly a 30% performance uplift with this setting. The Lunar Lake-based MSI Claw AI+ A2VM handheld is the highest-performing device we have tested across the board, even surpassing AMD-based devices in our testing suite. In other games, basel

MSI Claw 8 AI+ vs ROG Xbox Ally X: Why is the MSI supposed to be better?
honestly i can't answer your question, because i took the five minutes to google how tonset up the MSI Claw and everything runs great. I love that you didn't do that butbinstead went on the internet to complain. You should probably return both and get a fidget spinner

Poll: Your current favourite handheld
MSI Claw 8AI+ is my favorite so far. Really looking forward to a PTL model with 12Xe in a few months.

I have 1000$ to spend on a handheld - what should I buy
Gosh man, people still recommending the steam deck is a little frustrating. He has 1000 dollars, and can easily afford something with far, far more performance than a steam deck but nope. For OP, I would recommend the Xbox ally x or MSI claw 8ai+

Looking forward Phawx's tweaking
Just FYI. I've been collecting data on Win5 at 15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50 at 720p/1080p and also included Blackmyth and Doom the Dark Ages so you can get UE5 and a game with forced RT to help contextualize why what the Win5 is capable of and where it has diminishing returns. I also collected new data w

Xbox Rog ally x disappointment
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. He already owns MSI Claw 8 AI+ which is amazing device. Why would he bother to get Xbox Ally X in his case??
