I am downsizing my gaming setup as I don’t game too much anymore, just casually. I want to use a gaming handheld to play games in bed, dock to my two monitors for casual use like Microsoft office etc too. Most of the time I will be next to a wall outlet so can charge it easily.
There is so much hype around the Steam Deck OLED but it seems amazing more for portable usage.
Would it be worth me looking at the Lenovo Legion Go potentially? The larger 1600p screen with 144hz seems just as great and I can play games plugged in most of the time. The only thing that scares me is the software still basically being in beta and the difficulty of getting gyro to work, oh and of course the steam deck trackpads are better.
Any thoughts/advice is appreciated!
It depends on what games you like to play because if it’s anything like COD, Destiny 2 or something with native Game Pass, then either the Legion Go or ROG Ally would better suit you. However, if you’re willing to give Linux a try and aren’t playing the games I’ve mentioned, then Steam Deck is the way to go.
I prefer the Steam Deck because I’m not a fan of Windows and it’s worked great for the games I’m playing but it doesn’t mean it’s perfect by any means :)
