Steam Deck OLED vs ROG Ally vs Legion Go - BEST Gaming Handheld in 2024!?

Hey chaps! Which would you pick? (also BONUS points to Ally for supporting VRR. -smoothing our frame rates. I just. wishthe battery was better)

This era of proper portable gaming devices is what i've wanted for a long time. I've had my steamdeck for well over a year and it's brilliant.

Watch like 30 of these videos, still can't decide.

I'm a boomer and I'm still in love with the PS Vita

Got a 64gb Steam Deck last year, put a 1tb ssd in it as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I love it. Unbelievably I played it more then my pc over the last year.

I grabbed a Legion Go—performance and battery life works well for my use case. And the screen is amazing, couldn’t go to the smaller lower resolution options. Your conclusion is well balanced. I think in 6-12 months, a comparison would be good, especially as the Go matures. Great video, thank you!

I love my Steam Deck, I got the 64GB at launch Q1, and got the Limited Edition when it was announced. I am a long time PC gamer, and I am someone who does value performance but man the stuff the Deck can run never ceases to amaze me. But I am also not trying to play my really competitive games on it like Apex. It is really my casual gaming COOP machine or story mode box. I go to my desktop to sweat.

Thanks for the video. I wonder on get a hand help computer someday as a PC replacement. Did you test the three in docked mode ?

Excellent video! It's exciting that we're getting closer to the day where I could swap my gaming laptop (my main PC) for a handheld PC and feel good about it. As it stands, I don't think we're quite there yet. Maybe if the Deck OLED played nicer with Windows.

I have the Ally extreme and I love this little beast! No issues so far! Even have fruity loops on it for producing and recording on the go

I'll wait for the gen 2 versions. But I have to say the bigger screen on the Legion Go would make it my pick right now.

I have the Legion go and Lenovo is really pushing some good updates on it, they fixed the dead zone issue on mid December update, and they have improved their app a lot for just two months, and it becomes even better as I set up Steam big picture as my main launcher for games, really improved the experience

I was always a console gamer but last year I decided I wanted to experience PC gaming. I didn't want a full on gaming PC for my lack of space in house but a handheld was such a good decision. Plus the game prices on PC damn did I ever miss out...aha. I ended up buying a Steam Deck as my only gaming option and I LOVE it! Best thing I bought for gaming in a long time. Maybe later down the line I wouldn't mond upgrading to a higher end handheld bit for now this will do

First of all I can't stress how nice it is to see larger screens popping up. Second, it's also really nice that the answer to which is best is pretty much a "well, that depends". The coming years are going to be wild with what each maker will help push out from the other.

O man im trying to figure out which one to get im a handheld switch gamer who is wanting a better triple a gaming experience. Im not much of a tech guy but witch one would you guys recommend for strictly gaming I mainly like MMOs or action Open world games and few first person shooters like destiny 2

I got the Steam Deck OG, Steam Deck OLED and the ROG Ally with a 3080 and 4090 XG Mobile Dock. I’ve sold my desktop pc. This new era is my dream of decades coming true in 2023

Don't forget the steam deck design includes a track pad with tactile feedback and great customizability for hybrid joystick/mouse control. There are games which would be unplayable with just a controller but run beautifully on stream deck with hybrid controller/mouse control.

If you're sensitive to framdrops, the VRR on the Ally can be a huge factor. The others can work around that by setting an appropriate fps cap, but the fact it's not a concern on the Ally is a huge bonus

I do a bit of music production and video editing as hobbies along with gaming on my PC so I'd love to see how these would perform in those regards... I'd love to have something I can take along to a friends place, hook up a mic and just jam and mix on the go but currently I either have to use a phone with a crappy mic to do that or have them come to my place (which isn't always an option, especially for late night jamming). Also, what do you think of the MSI claw? I think it got released like RIGHT after you made this video!

Which is best to dock to tv and connect 4 or more controllers to it and play 4or more local multiplayer games?
