  • Ally if you prefer performance over battery life, ability to run Windows out of the box (with better support than Valve supports Windows on Deck) and the ability to attach an eGPU.

    Steam Deck OLED if you like SteamOS, want better battery, larger community and like Steam Input.

    Personally even though the Ally is cheaper right now than the 512GB OLED, I still went with the OLED because I know Valve would support the Deck, it has a larger community, and I prefer Linux over Windows and I prefer better battery as the heavy lifting stuff can just be streamed from my PC.

    The Legion Go like all Windows handheld are basically laptops in a gaming handheld form factor. You can install any OS on it and as long as Microsoft continues to support Zen 4 chips down the road, you can upgrade the underlying OS.

    Now, what’s not known is how long Lenovo is going to support Legion Space and if they’d offer drivers for newer versions of Windows down the road, especially if the new OS requires new drivers if Microsoft decides to change to a newer driver model or what not like they did with Vista for instance.



  • Looks like the amdgpu driver is hitting a major exception relating to the GPU itself and crashed. Try restarting the device and if it’s persistent, try reinstalling the OS and if that doesn’t fix the issue, contact Valve, you might need an RMA.

    Does this happen with only 1 game or does this happen with multiple games?











  • Valve already pretty much stated that the base model pricing was “painful” to get to US $399 when it launched but they had to do it to compete for the masses especially those comparing it to the Switch pricing. Considering the massive redesign for the SD OLED, I’m not surprised that they only relegated it to the midtier & up for the OLED upgrades. OLED panels also cost more to produce as well.
