Pc Handheld reviews from Reddit

"I can still wholeheartedly recommend the Deck. Yes, tradeoffs in performance. But it just works."

"I find the ROG Ally X and Steam Deck OLED the most comfortable."

"Dont get the wannabe steamdecks they are dogshit. especially asus trash. get a steamdeck, you'll be more grateful for having bought one as Valve won't be forcing players decks into planned obsolescence."

"The Steamdeck. It has the most console-like features, the easiest UI, and lowest price point."

"Steam Deck LCD is great! I’ve had it for 2 years and have been happy with it ever since."

"I'm in the middle of Pillars of Eternity 1 on the Deck and it is absolutely fantastic ... because the Deck was built by someone who gives a fuck about PC gaming."

"I played 150h to Rogue Trader on Steam Deck, it has controller support and, actually, one of the best adaptations to be played on Deck in recent cRPGs."

"I can only speak for the steam deck which is amazing with incredible support."

"Imo the SteamDeck is the best option."

"Top 3 u could buy, in no specific order 1. SteamDeck 2. SteamDeck, but OLED 3. also a SteamDeck"

"Rog Ally X (best Ryzen based device esp if you wanna use Linux)."

"Im incredibly satisfied with the ally x."

"Asus Ally X, I just got one last week it’s been a huge step up compared to the Steam Deck."

"Im loving the Ally X so far , especially that absolutely clean and beautiful design"

"In my opinion it’s the Ally X. Sleek beautiful design, very solid screen (no OLED but 120hz, VRR, 16:9), enough ram so that GPU has 8gb and system has 16gb, great performance with the Z1X, dual USB C ports, very fast charging with 100w chargers, and 2-3 hour minimum battery for AAA titles is insane."

"I find the ROG Ally X and Steam Deck OLED the most comfortable."

"Go ally x. The VRR display and z1 extreme chip are at the top of the market currently."

"Rog ally x is the goat"

"It’s a near perfect experience imo"

"I just snagged an ROG Ally Z1E for $480 new on eBay."

"Get the legion go 2. It is the very best"

"I bought the Lenovo Legion Go and now it’s my go to for playing FM. It’s genuinely really good and I don’t regret the purchase one bit."

"Jatuhnya selalu Legion Go, karena dia sangat portable ketika controller dicopot, resolusi dan layar lebih gede, "cukup" buat produktifitas, dan punya 2 slot USB C yang bakal bantu buat dongle dan second monitor."

"Lenovo go if you want windows and more power"

"Legion go if you want more laptop with handheld possibility."

"Upcoming Legion Go 2 could be a real challenger."

"A Legion Go on sale for 500 will be a much better buy as you can put Steam OS onto it officially."

"Legion Go is best overall unless you want a smaller screen and thus lighter hand held."

"Legion GO"

"Generally agree. But the screen is beeauutiful and I got it on sale so I’m very happy."

"I actually run a Steam Deck as a laptop."

"Trackpads are fucking amazing for strategy games so I’d do steamdeck any day"

"I prefer the Deck OLED. That nice 7.4” OLED display, touchpads and 4 macro buttons makes controlling my PC easy."

"It's an LCD Steam Deck, bro. That's the answer."

"I highly highly recommend the Steam Deck OLED."

"I highly highly recommend the Steam Deck OLED."

"I haven't used either, my Steamdeck is great tho."

"Steam Deck OLED, for sure."

"Steam Deck is the best out of the Ally or Go."

"Refurb base level Steam Decks are under $300 right now."

"Ive been very satisfied with my asus rog ally."

"If you want to decide between steam deck and rog ally as a device to only game on your tv, then the answer can only be rog ally."

"I’d recommend the Ally and installing Bazzite and a bigger battery."

"Rog ally has been great. Asus added bunch of things after launch."

"I use the ROG Ally. Windows based so it supports steam, native gamepass installs, and gamepass cloud gaming."

"The ROG Ally is one of the small ones. Can check it out."

"Any HandHeld can run Elden Ring right now so it Will mostly depend on your budget, mami advantage of the Rog Ally vs the Deck is Dock mod (able to go up to 30w plugged/docked)"

"Played through Shadowrun Returns on my ROG Ally fine."

"Asus Ally is superior to SteamDeck since Ally runs games on 1080p and Deck only at 720p, due to their GPU power but this also means Asus eats battery much faster."

"Also the og Asus rog ally non extreme version."

"Legion Go for it's bigger screen, trackpad and kickstand."

"Update: The journey has come to an end, picking up a Legion Go tomorrow."

"For this price just get a Legion Go, just got it for $591, I love it!"

"Get the Legion Go."

"I'd say go for the Legion or Steamdeck."

"Strategy games I'd go with a Legion Go for the bigger screen."

"Probably the Legion Go since it’s $550 right now at Best Buy."

"If you really want the detachable controllers than the Legion Go should be your choice."

"Legion Go with some 3d printed grips on the controllers."

"I play (pve) regularly on a Legion Go."

"Onexfly f1 pro"

"The best current handheld is the oneXplayer, but it’s expensive and has worse battery life than the current ally X."

"Onexflypro with the new amd ai 9 and hx 370 it gives you better performance than any other handheld."

"Onexplayer f1 pro"

"Performance wise the one x f1 pro probably it has the hx370 chip from and which will basically perform almost the same"

"OneXFly"

"The onexplayer f1 pro is smaller than the steam deck and will play everything."

"MSI CLAW 8 is the best overall right now, in every category including performance."

"MSI Claw 8+ is the best overall in pretty much every aspect."

"MSI Claw 8 (if you can get one)"

"MSI Claw 8 and Ally X"

"The new MSI Claw handhelds. Specifically the 7 AI+ and 8 AI+, they do outperform the Ally-X in a lot of situations. The Ally X is the safer option though with more mature software and drivers/third party support."

"I reviewed the Claw 8 recently and I wasn't too overly impressed at the moment with the drivers."

"Yes no doubt it’s the best overall package for windows pc handheld now."

"Ally x is the strongest handheld on the market right now."

"ROG Ally X would be my choice."

"I bought the ROG Ally two months ago and has been the best decision I’ve ever made."

"Only for Indie games then maybe the rog ally Z1 for 399.99 currently."

"Logitech G Cloud is the most reliable of all. Insane battery life, fantastic controls and screen"

"Logitech G Cloud is built exactly for that purpose."

"I have an Logitech G Cloud and like it a lot"

"I like Ayaneo 3 modular build."

"Ayaneo 3 looks to be the best right now for me."

"Its the cheapest so far for the hardware itself but im sensing that there is a catch on this one since its not so popular with these really good specs and price ( 480$) new 1tb"

"I heard mixed reviews about it and some complaints about the battery life. High end games last less than 1 hour on it, while other games last for 1-2 hours only."

"The claw runs fine, never had any issues with it."

"The Legion go is amazing and smugly more powerful than the highest sku claw."

"It’s good. The go is great but am enjoying the claw as well."

"My favourite would be Gpd win mini 2025."

"You can look into the GPD WIN 4. People really love that device."

"I have a friend with a Win4 and he seems really impressed."

"The Leigon Go is far and away my favorite."

"Legion Go is better for actual handheld performance but the Claw is better ergonomically."

"Trimui Smart Pro is quite similar to RP5 in size. It obviously doesn’t have the power of the RP5, but it’s great for the plattforms mentioned and costs less than 1/5th of the price."

"Trimui Smart Pro if you want something cheap but good. A nice middle ground."

"There is the anbernic win600 if you can get it for a cheap price."

"It's not really worth the money"

"My brother has the Legion Go and his screen is beautiful!"

"Rog ally or x does the job"

"Onexplayer X1 Mini is our best bet atm from MY Recherche"

"The upcoming msi claw and oneXplayer x1 (it’s a hybrid 2 in 1 and gaming handheld)"

"If you have smaller hands, AND are *only* interested in indies, go for the Loki Zero."

"Zotac zone 2 looks like the best all rounder especially if it comes with a larger battery than the prototype."

"I’d look into Bazzite if you want a more console like experience and dual boot between Bazzite and Windows"

"If Windows, not Linux, then ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, Legion Go, or MSI Claw would be your best bets."

"I think the GCloud would be a good option"

"For size the original Aya Neo Air is basically it. It hasn’t been cheap though since they figured out how to get the top of the line processors in that form factor."

"Terran Force Handle 5 has a 32GB option. I don't know if it is good."
