    Got an OLED SD. Super happy with it still. No plans of switching until a SD2 comes out.

      No one ever really PLANS to. PC handheld owners are a fickle bunch. You'll want more. The only thing that might hold you back on buying another handheld, is you likely not having a lot of money to spend on it lol.

    The trackpad is to much of a pros that i bought it to play strategy game and looter shooter.. both trackpad can be set as one of four item item button. and it also work as a mouse for aiming and pointing. with trackball effect disable, it feel like aiming like playing cod on mobile. really love it. The rigidity of SD. Bought Steam Deck Oled 1TB, upgraded to 2TB with Jsaux casing. That casing saved me on my last fun ride. slide on my bike after passing black stuff on the road (oil/sludge from big engine i guess?) SD slide with me. Casing saved the joystick and screen. Turn on and play while waiting for tow no issue. haha

    I got a Steam Deck OLED earlier this year and I am happy with it. Its a bit heavy and clunky compared to the Switch, which looks like a toy next to the Steam Deck. But the ergonomics are on point for me, the performance and battery life are both more than just fine and Valves Steam Deck Verification is decent. I dont see myself missing out on anything

    Honestly I’d just wait for the z2 extreme devices and steamos to be released to the public. Going from a steam deck to the rog ally was a nice bump but going from the steam deck to the legion go 2 or rog ally 2 will be a generational leap.

    • @creaturecore13
      @creaturecore13 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It won't be a generational leap in any way. The z2e will either be the hx370 or hx365. Look at the numbers vs the 8840u or z1e. It's 10 to 20% faster at best. Some games it's worse

  • @madara3278

    I grew up with a gameboy. I love nice graphics, but for a handheld, it should simply run the games fluently for a long time and be handy. Not too big or not heavy. Perfect on the hands

    I think it's a great idea to have more options for handheld console to enter the market. I don't know the specifics of the Z2 go though i could be wrong 😂 but if this works for Lenovo we can see the chip branch of into its own thing while offer more expensive options for those who crave better space, battery, and performance (Z1 and Z2 extreme bit of a reach😅). For me I have no handheld but i would like to imagine the idea of having a budget two (Steam Deck and Go S) and go 2. That way I have a backup or for a friend that doesn't have any.

      I don't get this streaming from your PC fad. Why not just hook it up to a TV in the first place? A mouse works just as well on a couch as on a desk surface. I've been doing that for 15 years.

    The Lenovo Go S is an OK handheld. But is not a Steam Deck.
    The way Steam Deck married the hardware to the software is almost perfect. How it compliments each other to work to its full capacity.
    I have super high expectations in the coming Steam Deck 2. But it hasn't yet to be release, so i recommend that if you need a bit powerful handheld, Lenovo Go S is OK. But still a Steam Deck LCD/OLED is still a great device that can rival the GO S. It will depends on your budget or price your comfortable with

    • @chowna7941
      @chowna7941 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @horticultural261 yes. I would rather wait for the Steam Deck 2. How they request AMD do manufacture a chip for them that is so very efficient and low TDP, it is awesome. I cant wait the next Gen of it that the Steam deck will use.
      I too only have a Steam Deck LCD and i loved it so much. I don't mind playing at low 30.

  • @creaturecore13
    @creaturecore13 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The go S is the worst deal in handhelds you can get. It has a 6800u in it with a binned cpu. So you won't get better performance then the deck until like 20w compared to the deck at 12w. So your battery life will be bad. If you wanted a more powerful handheld you get an Ally x, ally z1e, original legion go, the msi, or the upcoming zotac with the hx370. The windows version of the goS lenovo is out of their minds with the pricing. The ally x is barely more money and cheaper when on sale for a better apu, faster ram, and much larger battery. For a cheaper price is power is what you want both the original go and z1e ally can be had for about 500. Then you can install bazzite on any of them. So what market is this handheld going for other then the uninformed buyer?

    Don't buy either. Wait until they finally put SteamOS on a current chip. Legion Go S's Z2 Go is just a repackaged AMD 6800U...which a few years old already.
