It's the Steam Deck OLED for me. It's easily my favorite gaming device and favorite piece of tech I've ever owned, and it's the reason I plan on skipping this generation's home consoles.
Same here I get my oled on Thursday and I’ve already planned on skipping the home consoles anyways I’ve been gaming on my switch recently and I want something that can play more games so the SD oled was my choice
@@Talon18136heck yeah! I've had a Switch since 2018 and loved and played it almost exclusively up until I got my Deck, which dethroned it as my favorite game device of all time. I hope you enjoy your Deck when it comes in!
Same here
Same!
Same here I think I'm gona skip this generation of console maybe I'll get the new switch or ps5 pro .. but this steamdeck OLED has been such an awesome device
so that "I have a winner now" was clickbait huh 😅
always gives me a genuine shock when I notice the sub count for you isn't 250k with this level of quality
As a graphic designer and video editor, this video is fucking stunning, wow. I only have the ROG Ally and the only hardware mods I've done was replacing the save battery on a Gameboy Color cartridge once, but I was hooked the entire time from your production value. You've got a new sub!
I have the steam deck. I love it, but it respect the power of the ally!
Loved the video - I think it would have been cool to see all the scores for each device at the end, so people can do an easy head-to-head (with less flicking throughout the video)!!
Just my 2 cents on an otherwise super comparison.
i got the lcd steamdeck at the cut down price a few weeks ago, more than happy with it ,really good system.
I’m greedy I need Xbox Nintendo and PlayStation so I’m going with the lenovo
I got the 64gb model paid full price 2 weeks later it dropped sad but still happy with it it's amazing.
@leftyg4587 64gb still relevant
@Manz_1607 yes with 512 gb sd card.
@@1607Adi_Manz just put a sd card
This is hands down the most informed and comprehensive comparison of these devices I’ve ever seen. I feel like majority of people have a bias for Steam Deck, but you clearly showed a deep understanding of both the Ally and the Go. Thanks
I bought the og Steam Deck last year, traveled with it, ran an impromptu Street Fighter 6 tournament with it in my hotel room in Times Square and fell in love with it. Then i modded the shell on my own (that shell swap was TOUGH but doable!) and i ended up falling in love with it even more. I got a SUPER LIT year end/christmas bonus so i said why not? decided too buy a Legion Go...finally bought it from Micro Center for like $100 bucks off and when i tell you i havent been able to put this thing down yet! Its literally been months of me throwing whatever i can at this device, FF7Remake, Tekken 8, Gran Blue Fantasy: Relink, etc and seeing for far i can push it. I actually decided too continue my GamePass PC subscription well past the trial ending. Not only does Persona 3 Reload looks so beautiful on this screen but it also was free lol. Lenovo is definitely TRYING but they could also be doing a much better job supporting this device to make to software a little more seamless, Armory Crate seems to be getting much more TLC and it shows.
Taking the shell off my deck just left me with a creaky shell. And I have the oled LE edition. Sticky b button as well. These consoles just aren't good yet.
@@joeykeilholz925 you are dead wrong, these products are excellent
@@joeykeilholz925 my steam deck after over a year every day hardcore gaming and even streaming works perfect and it isnt even the oled or the normal version its one from the pre releases and it works like a charm
That’s amazing! If you flew, how many hours did your deck last you? I have a steam deck and plan to travel with it soon, but I’m debating if I should buy a separate power cable for a portable charger.
The legion is like 4 times the price of the steam deck. Yiu get what you pay for. It's unfair to compare a 500 dollar system to a 2000 dollar one.
Great review man - I love the way you explain the rationale behind each rating, so that we can decide for ourselves what is relevant.
something i want to point out is that the analog sticks on the Ally aren’t soldered to the PCB so they can easily be switched out with Hall Effect sticks, connected with ribbon cables, which use magnetic input they might feel better and aren’t prone to stick drift. i’ll be switching my right analog with these as the left analog stick is susceptible to interference from the hall effect trigger right behind it which would force you to use a higher deadzone.
same with the deck
Same with the legion
It's all controllers nowadays
@@uncraftbar
Great video tha?ks gor the info. Though i feel one category was missed or i mightve nit heard it. But best default speaker sound? Do they all have mics if so a mic test on them all would be cool
Dude, you need more subs. This is great production.
Please add a list of all games played
Yes pleasee!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you see this but you have been very informational and will definitely keep using your videos to help my decisions. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I personally own an LCD Steam Deck, I couldn't get a hold of the OLED when I was in Japan it was completely sold out, (I'm from Australia Steam Deck not available here) and I still love it. Additionally it isn't my primary gaming device that's why I convinced myself the LCD was fine to buy better than no steam deck at all.
I'm in Australia, Dick Smith, Kogarn, and apparently Big W/Woolworths markets online have the OLED. I bought my OLED online via Dick Smith, I was worried, but everything went fine and it arrived safely, very pleased with the process, it's just the anticipation and waiting for it to arrive that killed me.
I just about forgot it's not sold in Australia. That's strange and shady, and sucks for y'all. Hopefully y'all get the Deck 2 when that releases.
@@B_Machine valve never sells their hardware here, its probably got something to do with our consumer laws. id much rather have our consumer laws than have valve hardware.
@@dum760 EU has very strong consumer laws but we still have the Deck here
@@SkyReviewsNet the whole refund process was Australia's "fault" and steam had to pay out money on top of that. Beyond that, idk what ur consumer laws are like so I don't know how to compare.
It's the Legion GO for me. I need that computer like aspect of being able to use it as a laptop. The controller turning into a mouse is also really cool. The 8.8 inch screen is also a huge plus. I have decided that if you are going on a long trip and need longer battery life you could buy a powerbank that has 2/3 times the battery life and just keep it plugged in (then you'll get about 3/4 times longer play/work time).
Nice video subbed but why havent you said what games are playing!? Theres a few there i think look really good but I've no idea what they are.
Specter, leaving screen concerns aside, due to connecting to a TV through HDMI...if you had to choose a windows-based system, would you go for the Asus or the Lenovo?
Essentially, I'm looking at something like this as a replacement for both my laptop, and (via cloud gaming) for my Xbox One. I LOVE the idea of having a system that can act as a PC, retro gaming emulator AND a modern game (cloud) console/gaming PC.
Trackpads...without 2 trackpads it is hard for me to consider anything else as I use them heavily for specific pc style games like strategy games, some rpgs etc.
It's the same for me. Even games that do not heavily on mouse can sometimes benefit from the track pads. Can't really imagine myself using a PC handheld without them
yep... without those trackpads, a handheld is useless to me. There is no choice, if using a handheld, Steam Deck is the only option for me.
Totally agree. And an OLED screen... that screen is 👌🏻
Yup, exactly.
For me it's the OLED
Got my Claw yesterday. After about 8 hours of playtime I'm still choosing the Steam Deck OLED over any of the other devices.
The only problem with the Deck is that you can't play every single game
@@yaboim4thematix And the problem with that is not everyone WANTS to play every single game..
If you want to play all games buy a pc
Can you explain your reason? I have dilemmas between two of them
How's the performance on that thing? I'm kind of concerned with performance and driver support considering it's using an Intel chipset.
Got my Steam Deck about a year ago. It’s my first actual console, PC whatever you want to call it and it’s just awesome. I don’t know if the other handhelds have it but the fact that you can get plugins and modify your experience is just crazy and cool
Great Video! Please keep up the good work, your channel is about to blow up!
I would dock one more point off Go’s software score. It’s pretty clunky. Sometimes the performance settings window doesn’t pop up. The frame rate would show, then a few clicks more the window finally pops up.
I wanted to try the Ally next, but having the Go double as a tablet is a pretty big win, even if it’s a bit sluggish compared to, say, an iPad Mini
As a Go user, I would totally agree with this. But that is a software issue and Lenovo does seem to be dedicated to supporting the device and have been giving significant updates regularly and have mentioned they will be coming out with a new iteration of hardware. One of my biggest grips is that the lack of support for all the extra buttons on the back. Steam sees the Go as a G1 X controller, won't even map a X button. They really need to fix this above all else.
the quality of your videos is stunningly good!
Love your videos bro, but can you put the title of the games you show or play in your videos cos some of us are not familiar with a lot of them and would love to play them 😊
Excellent video, thanks for sharing this.
Intersting video. The one thing you left out is what device you are reaching for the most when using one.
I just sold my old Steam Deck to my Bro and ordered the OLED. The many control options made me fall in love with it. I also heavily considered the Legion as well, but many reports on it getting REALLY hot threw me off (heat in one of my personal biggest annoyances with any handheld device), plus the even slightly less so pocketable factor.
The Ally and MSI Claw however hardly cross my mind. I need Gyro, I need trackpads. And OLED is also a thing I've grown very attached to.
And since I also DO have an actual gaming PC with a 4080 in it, if I ever really need horsepower, streaming from that does the job, especially (but not only) in house.
Facts I always say if you have a primary console or pc already then the steam deck is a perfect accessory system, if you don't then you might wanna go for the extra performance and ability to play all pc games that the legion or ally provides
Ayaneo 2s with a touchscreen is better than a track pad
@@tystan5903 I mean, I never tried it, but a touchscreen is a touchscreen. It is great to have, but good luck pinpointing the Node connectors in Blender with your stubby finger. I definitely need a track-/touchpad or a similar precision-mouse-replacement.
After watching all these videos I think I’ll be going your way. I don’t have a handheld pc but I do have a 3090 desktop. I’ll go for the next iteration of the steam deck when preorders show up in a year or two.
In home streaming to my iPad Pro will keep me happy till then.
@@samuelm4021yep, moonlight plus sunshine ftw. I can’t stand low fps. Maybe the third gen of handhelds will provide a smooth 60 on AAA at low resolution. Right now, they seem to be good at indies and oldies.
Anyone have a list of the games played in the video?
I am very curious about the games you are playing while doing the review video of the handheld PC's. Also, I think I would go for the LENOVO LEGION GO, I had seen it in person and it is really cool, for the ASUS ROG ALLY, it is nice too but it's kind of slow for me or maybe it's the system that I held on was a bit slower, steam deck is one of the best out there. I like it and perhaps considering to buy one for myself.
I have an OLED. The screen and batterylife are the things that are important in a handheld. Yes its struggling with newer Titles,but they arent optimized yet. But that doesnt bother me because I can play them on my gaming PC 🤷♂️
As long as I can hit 1080p, i'm good with the steam deck, lol
@@KingVulpesWhy would you need 1080p on the steam deck? The screen isn’t even 1080p.
@@-Burb Docking, I dock my Steam Deck
@@KingVulpes Oh yeah I kind of forget thats a thing the deck can do a lot lol
You can also stream games from your gaming PC to your Steam Deck with Steam's built in streaming and third party streaming apps like Moonlight. You can do this with other handhelds too. So effectively your performance ceiling is bound by your most powerful system in-house. I bet this is also a solution to Steam Deck compatibility problems with popular battle royale games. With this in mind, you've equalized all the handhelds in terms of performance and compatibility. At that point, you're looking at which has the better battery life and better user experience. Both of which go to the Steam Deck in this context.
Beautiful video, nice work!
Needs chapters
And a summary of all the points at the end.
It has chapters
I use the Legion Go as my primary desktop PC. I have a Samsung M5 monitor that has a USB-C 4 input with a USB hub so I plug that single cable in. It runs everything just fine be it MS Office, remoting software to connect to work, etc. I upgraded my SSD to a 2TB with a 1.5TB SD card. Not sure if Lenovo will pull the trigger on the next iteration but I can see them coming out with their next one using one of the new ARM chips as that will be the big Microsoft Windows push this fall, putting them on par with Apple M chips.
nice , do you mind to share names of the games you have shown in this clip
many thanks
Risk of rain 2, Hades, and Enter the Gungeon were the ones I recognized
Love this video I got the steam deck lcd at launch and I loved it. My wife and I ended up getting the Steam deck OLED and best 1200 dollars I spent lol
What one would anyone recommend for Guild Wars 2 & Palworld?
I don't play any fps. But do enjoy games like: ESO, RDR/RDR2, CP2077, Horizon ZD/FW, Borderlands (all), etc. Just learned about handheld gaming PC's and also not PC/tech savvy, as I've lived out in the middle of nowhere with no internet until last year (now have fiber). And definitely need help.
Check if the SteamDeck can run everything. For ESO for example you need a workaraound to run it, because when starting the game via steam, you only start the launcher from where you launch the game itself. Might be the case for GW2 as well.
The ROG and the Legion Go however are portable windows pcs. If a game runs on windows, it runs on these devices.
Guild Wars 2 runs fine on the Steam Deck. If you have an account from before GW2 was on Steam you can pass in a simple command to use your old login. I haven't played Palworld on it yet but its apparently playable with frame drops. That's going to be the case for a lot of UE5 titles running on these handhelds.
I've played ESO on it as well and it works great, but you need to do the initial install from desktop mode since it takes you through that installer.
RDR2/CP2077/Horizon/Borderlands all run well without issues.
I haven’t played Palworld in a bit, but it was running fine till an update then it started crashing 15 min into every session. It could be fixed now.
GW 2 is very doable as well if you set up action sets for your skills.
For example when I hold L1, R1 becomes 1, and my Abxy buttons become 2345;
And when I hold R1, L1 becomes 6, and abxy buttons become 7890.
I love how anything is playable if you know how to map it
legion go is great for gw2. bigger screen helps with the UI and all that. it runs fine! Just set player model limit to low. just completed the new expansion with it.
i thout about the ally. in the end got the go. i jsut cant find any clear answer if the SD frying issue is 100% fixed and dont want to risk it. also its nice to have a somewhat tablet
I would have appreciated a final summary of all 4 handhelds & all of their stats put side-by-side (similar to the format at 0:38) to give it a thorough, professional sheen.
Thank you for the video, I might aim for the LeGo over RoG Ally after all.
Is there a list of the games you played in this video somewhere? I’m really interested in them.
Hades and Portal 2 were the best ones he played, also try Balatro
I'd like to know what that hand to hand top down fighting game was
@@LukeThomasTechsifu
I was really looking for an overall score. But I still choose and love my LCD steam deck. I do want to upgrade to the oled tho
Oled is worth it
Still love my LCD deck. Didn’t really see a justification to upgrade to oled version since the LCD still works fine for most games I played, but am looking forward to preorder the SD2 when it’s time.
I had the steamdeck original. Got the ally for windows, so I can run all my work programs like rhino and word with no work arounds. Works great for what I use it for.
9:50 whats that usb with power display screen cable?? ty
I am very happy with my steam deck oled. Switched from the lcd which I sold. My play time basically is split 50/50 between my steam deck and my desktop PC.
The Steam Deck is just the best, its so mature it feels like a console experience as far as UI and software goes. I have it and an Ally, but I honestly don't see myself buying anything in the future that isnt a Steam Deck 2.
i would like to buy one of them, is steam deck supporting also apps? like netflix or spotify?
I haven't done this in a while, but you can add non-steam game shortcuts to the library and have those link to a browser to open specific sites.@@zarby87
@@zarby87it's linux basically. So yes you can find way to run it
The Steam Deck really is the best overall experience. It's incredibly console-like in that way, even down to the sights and sounds of navigating the UI. You really feel like you're experience a different gaming ecosystem, where the other handhelds are just Windows machines. The only thing holding the Steam Deck back is CPU/GPU performance, but that gives me hope for the Steam Deck 2. If the Steam Deck 2 can launch with a 120Hz+ OLED panel, top-tier GPU/CPU, upgraded cooling to support the more powerful hardware, and larger storage options as standard again, they'll have an instant winner. They don't need to change anything else about the design IMO. Just internal upgrades, another screen refresh, and make sure the cooling can support the hotter hardware.
Very good Video ! THX for that ! One question: what game is it at 0:52 ?
I think the Ally and the Legion Go can more closely mimic a pc experience than the Steam Deck (especially when docked), but then why not get a laptop or a desktop. The Steam Deck is in my opinion, the best handheld in its category. There’s a difference between cramming a pc into a handheld form factor, and creating a fully optimized handheld gaming device.
I had a gaming laptop and sold it as it was collecting dust. It's the ease of use for me for the Ally. I like to emulate and play AAA games so this suited me. Playing cyberpunk in bed is just insane. We are definitely living in the future!
I have a gaming laptop, but for whatever reason, I hate sitting in my chair and gaming on it. I've always loved gaming on handhelds while lying down on the couch or my bed. So I never really used it for gaming unless I was playing an FPS game. I bought a Steamdeck last year and I primarily used that for games, however, it had some serious limitations. A lot of the games in my library didn't run well or at all. So I bought the Legion Go recently and now I've been using it as a PC and handheld gaming console. I like the idea that I can use it like a PC, then unplug it and go game on the couch. Or if I remove the joycons, I can use it like a tablet. It's versatile, but I can see why people would rather just spend the money on a gaming PC/laptop instead.
Is cyber punk a futuristic Skyrim??a kotor that isn't star wars?@@NoPunk1982
@matth1641 performance wise on steam deck you can get pretty much anything to be playable as long as you aren't an fps snob, just requires a little settings tweaking and installing cryoutilitues
Optimized? I cant even play half my library on steam os. With out windiws the steam deck is trash
I got a OLED steam deck recently and love it but I bought my son a rog ally.I got to say I do like that OLED screen and prefer most games on it but playing more demanding games with that vrr is truly awesome.Never seen a vrr monitor before and wow the frame drops don't bother me and input seems crisper.So I'm torn between both.I hate windows on handhelds but it's also a lot easier to just download a game or whatever and it work.However the deck nails the simplicity in tdp,performance overlay and everything just right there instead of having to click on afterburner and rtss and etc.
If you really want to, you can install windows on a microSD card. It’s surprisingly easy. I did it to play anti cheat games like COD MW3. Low settings with high textures still looks and runs great. So you get the best of both worlds.
If you’re interested, there’s a video on TH-cam called something like install windows 11 on microSD steam deck no pc required. Even provides the windows 11 file to install!
Only thing is you no Bluetooth drivers, can use LCD audio drivers but must use wired headphones, and other wifi drivers can be used since valve doesn’t supply (I think I got mine from Lenovo, you can google)
Do you have a gaming list that you played on this video?
Having the Deck LCD and the Ally i honestly struggle to pick a favorite. Both fill different roles for me, and each one performs it very well. Not disappointed with either at all.
Which seems to perform better on graphic demanding games? I like helldivers 2 and im lookkng for a good handheld before my gf gives birth
@@iwantthemoneybihgetoutthew3470 deck stan here, you want a Z1 handheld and a portable power bank. helldivers is like 40fps best case on my deck. the deck is more for old AAAs, newish AAs, very well optimized recent AAAs (which is maybe 5%-20% of them), and 2D/indie games
@@iwantthemoneybihgetoutthew3470 Ally definitely does better on Helldivers with the new AFMF drivers.
I have the Ally and the Steamdeck oled and I agree with you on the choice SD is just a all around great device and it does exactly what you need a handheld to do it to game on the go.
Emulation is why I replaced my SD with a Legion Go, well that and the bigger screen. The CPU was always its weak point as the gpu would frequently be sitting at near desktop speed while the CPU was at full speed and frequently throttling, even with my JSAUX back with heat plate with 2 big NVME heatsinks on top of that. Plus for me with the LLG, I get all my PC games plus Steam big picture as the gui, as well as the big screen and high refresh rate, with a res that perfectly scales to the SD res and so can play the games with SD optimised settings at SD res but with more performance. I certainly got my moneys worth from the SD, as it was a fun device that showed me it can be done after all these years (AMD netbooks were the last affordable almost gaming handheld PC I tried and that was barely even able to run WoW at the lowest settings at the time), but now the Legion Go is my choice, to the point I gave my SD away as it was gathering dust and I didn't want to see it go to waste.
To be honest, as Lenovo have been fixing their issues and how they have been really open about things, my trusty old steam deck would not even get a look in and it wasn't even close, and as good as the OLED one seems, it would be nothing but a downgrade as its still a smaller lower refresh rate screen and noticeable worse performing. The only thing I really miss is the slightly rounded edges to the controller that made it that bit more comfortable, but other than that, going back to even the OLED would be like having a PS5 and then having to go back to the PS4, yeah many of the games would be the same, but it would be a real step backwards on all fronts.
I agree with you
You make great videos my dude.
thx this helped my decision
Happy with my LeGo now, you cannont require longer play time with that kind of power, you can always lower the power draw if you play less demand games, can play 5-6 hours straight at 8w for indie games
As an owner of the OG Steam deck and a LeGo I found myself always plugged in the SD most of the time. Battery wasn’t that much better in my opinion
I also prefer the Go over Steam Deck. It just feels less constrained and the big screen is awesome.
I just bought a Power Bank as well which will give me a few more hours of playtime on my Legion Go.
really good vid. subbed
Do you have a suggestion for something that is not so bulky to be taken on daily commute? I am thinking the size of the Nintendo Switch
odin 2!
Last handheld ive bought is psvita still use it to this day, def could see about gettin a handheld soon.
What do you guys think about the Ally Z1 at $399 on sale at Bestbuy? Would your rather buy the base 256GB LCD SteamDeck?
The 399 version is not the 1z extreme processor. It's a slower handheld and better off getting a steam deck for thr price
DO NOT even consider the regular Z1
My experience with my ROG Ally has been awesome. I haven't seen any stuttering in any game, and the battery life is perfect for my needs.
Sorry, which game are you playing at 2.45? It looks very cool)
Hades
What is the game at 3:29 looks fun
How can you give more point to Ally than Legion in the battery department? it has a 50Wh battery vs the 40wh of the Ally, and the APU is the same
Missed the most important monitor stat though, and that would bring the LCD Steam Deck to first place if the competition was lacking. How dim do they get? (and how seamless is this to adjust). Honestly, to me this is the most important of all the monitor features you listed. It probably isn't to most people. So my "most important" is subjective. And idk if there's a good way to give it as a stat, but even to just describe it. I have heard the LED Steam Deck is even better for dimming. I have no idea about the others though.
Really great and articulate review! Just hoping to raise awareness to the importance of minimum brightness, that I never see marketed, and do not see reviewed enough.
I waited up until last month and went with the legion go and I love it.
Just bought a steam deck OLED. I am not super committed to gaming yet, but wanted to try some games I’ve always wanted to play or have played before. I’ve had friends that owned consoles but I never have myself, so this will be my first and standalone. I do realize it may not be enough storage especially if I get a bunch of games like bg3, but I might upgrade to a terabyte and put it in myself. Since I’m not super committed to gaming, but just want to do a little…I hope it wasn’t a mistake.
I really appreciate repair-ability as a separate category, that's such an important thing that's so heavily overlooked in most of these kind of videos.
Also, someone in the comments pointed out the low amount of subscribers in this channel given the quality of this video, cannot agree more. This is top tier stuff, really clears things up for me even though I already made my choice a while ago and bought the Steam Deck OLED.
how is your sub count this low
Didn't know the Ally had variable refresh rate screen. That's really nice and I wish the Deck supported that.
I would love to see a video with the msi claw in the picture.
I feel like this channel is gonna be one of those marquis tech channels in a few years
Keep it up! 💯
How does the oled have better controls than the regular?
Can you Play this while charging? Without affecting the Battery health?
You mind naming your games ?
The deck is more straightforward, but since i only use it at home, i like the extra power the rog ally gives! Battery isn’t really a problem in that case. (I own both the lcd deck and the rog ally) at the end of the day you can’t go wrong with any off them! And thats the beauty of it.
One thing you didn’t talk about was how availability of playing your games. All 3 are great, but the ally and claw allow you to play all your steam games, your gamepass games, your ps plus games, Microsoft cloud gaming where you can pick up progress from your X box saves, etc. that’s a big thing. I have the ally, and gaming from there to my X box is seamless, without having to jump through a lot of hoops
Yes, its about freedom with windows handheld. With steam deck, its more like handheld console.
Quick question. I play on xbox on xbox live. I have games on my xbox and log into with assuming my xbox gtag. If I wanted a steamdeck could I continue my games I play on my console onto a handheld device? I'm assuming it would be through game pass or something? It's ESO I play and was wondering I'd I would infact have to start a brand new account to play or I could jump back into my xbox accounted game? Hope this makes sense!
subbed at 27k , you'll be at 300k range this year! awesome content.
Nice to see someone talking about the legion based on how it is now rather than day one.
All of these devices had issues day one but for some reason people seem unwilling to revisit the legion and still talk about things that are no longer an issue on the device.
I’ve had all 3 of the devices and for me the legion just smashes it out the park.
Like you I mainly use it on 800p with IS enabled and it looks and plays fantastic
I have a Legion Go and just got another steam deck. I picked up a refurb 64GB one for $289 and I’ve got a spare 1TB drive lying around. The deck will be for light games and games that are known to work well on the deck, and the Go will be for heavy hitters and AAA titles.
what is the isometric shooter at 1:45 and 2:38 looks like fighting in a bathroom or something? thanks
Unrelated but what’s the game at 6:03 (amazing video btw!)
Have you tried the onexplayer, gpd win 4, or ayaneos?
Those are too expensive, way too complicated to repair/ship, if you live in China then your fine, but if your in NA your better off with the deck/legion/rog
@@duuke4618 friend of mine got the best win 4 with 64gb of RAM and he loves it. I have a legion go and it's okay. I think I liked my steam deck better but can't do everything I want on it.
The controllers hurt the palm of my hand, too sharp on the edge
What I like is that despite my own bias towards Valve, all the other products doesn't seem bad at all and are a good alternative. I'll still grab the Deck when I get one though lol
help! what is the name of the game shown at @2:35 ? it looks interesting, thx!
Literally was just bout to ask this
@@jaquanndavis1586 yeah ! Would love to know about it
Midnight fight express

Nice video! Hey what games are at @1:28 ? @1:43 ? @2:40 ? @6:01 ? @11:35 (Starfield?)
I don't really have the money to spend right now for handhelds but I'm keeping my eye on it. I would love to see what new handhelds come next.
I’m late on this video but I recently purchased a MSI Claw, mainly because of the color goes with my pc setup, the go was too big and steam deck dosent run windows out the box so I didn’t want that and the ally has sd card issues. And a white color I wanted black. I’m hoping future updates will improve MSI claw performance being that it just came out that have plenty of room for improvement all 3 of these handles you mention has been on the market for awhile MSI is the new kid on the block and I hope it gets better soon
what game is that on 3:03
Name of games used ?
What was that cell shaded western FPS game?
Can someone mention the list of games featured here?
I have a steamdeck, and although i am massively tempted to get either the legion go or ally i think ill wait for the next steam deck. Im hoping thatll have beefed up power and hopefully bigger screen and oled. I feel like im likely to stay brand loyal with valve as the support and how everything just works is a really big deal for me.
I absolutely love my steam deck. About to do a full modding gauntlet with shell, ssd upgrade, button mod, hal sticks. Gonna make it my main pc. Dual booting steam os and linux. (Might also run windows for non linux games too. Idk. Not a fan of windows.)
Your video is very insightful but I am so far very frustrated with the Steam Deck, that now is a brick and getting support from Valve has been very frustrating so I might switch to any of the competition.
I'm sorry, did you put the steam deck OLED BEHIND 2 non hdr lcd screens in terms of display? Can i buy pot from you
All three devices have great looking screens, helps for you to see for yourself…
The ally is awesome, sold my deck to my friend for it and i do not regret
Tsumugi icon 👌
@@Kogami nice to see a cultured one
Yup ally is goated so much more power. If I wanted something as powerfull as a steamdeck I'll just pick up my laptop with 5600u I bet it's even better then the custom chip on steamdeck and this laptop thinner and is also a tablet from like 3 years ago. Rog ally can run goddamn Elden ring it's crazy how much more powerfull this apu is. And I wanna be able to install any software I want so Linux was already a no go. People say rog runs hot but they just have CPU boosts on otherwise it stays cool and quiet and that steamdeck beats rog on 15w is absolute garbagio. Doubt it runs Elden ring on 15w tdp the 5600u can't even do that which is more powerfull. And I hate the button placement. Still steamdeck is awesome just not for me and the price difference is not that much if you want a new steamdeck oled your looking at nearing the rog ally on 600 I think it was like 530 or something not sure on that one.
That is what good friends do.
@@xrpmoonwolf The Ally is only more powerful while guzzling down battery. I have both and in practise I prefer using the Steam Deck for the majority of the games. If you plan on buying a Laptop to substitute it, the the same works for any handheld gaming PC, since none of them can compete with a proper gaming laptop (but the laptop cant be played like a handheld, so its a moot comparison anyway).
I don’t know anything about handheld consoles. With the steam deck, is it like Netflix where you have a subscription and they add games to a library? Do the games stay on there forever?
For steam deck (and the steam games store itself) it's a one time purchase for individual games and you keep them forever. (unless you lose your account)
For a more netflix like experience (monthly subscription for a library of games) there is xbox game pass.
1 time payment and you don’t even have to pay for subscription if you want to play online.
You should've made a sum score at the end and combine everything together for an overall score.
