    This is such a good video and exactly what I searched for. Too bad I still cannot decide which one to buy XD
    Regarding money I am leaning more to SteamDeck OLED or Legion. I really like the idea you can detach the screen from the handhelds with Legion. But SteamDeck seem more userfriendly and has OLED. Damn, I just dont know 😀

    I had the OG Ally Z1 Extreme. And sold it once I got a Legion GO for Christmas.
    Definitely love the legion Go. But Ally is still a very solid little machine.

    I had the sd lcd 9 months ago I sold it for the rog ally z1 mush power full better performance but the major flaw has me regretting it is the battery sucks so day2 i bought a dock maybe next yr ill get the rog x if I can find a deal but the steam deck oled is best value overall but limited and the MSI claw with the intel chip besides the updates was rushed into production and that killed it

    6:30 did he take a shot at Android? Low blow dude

  5. @hunterthorson9679 on December 31, 2024 at 6:07 pm

    can i natively play xbox games that i own on xbox such as black ops six, without using cloud gaming?

  6. @YTLGames on December 31, 2024 at 6:08 pm

    I always loved the 3DSXL but hated how big the switch was, pushed me to be more of a PC gamer. Picked up a switch oled the other month and can’t seem to enjoy it other then when it’s docked. Basically I’m struggling to find that “feel” I had with the 3DSXL and older versions

  7. @andrewwalker8312 on December 31, 2024 at 6:10 pm

    The steam deck is piss poor! There’s sweet fuck all decent new games that are actually verified for the deck they’re just the average crap that it can run! If it’s a steam product it needs to be able to play and run every game on the damned store not a pathetic choice of non graphic dense lame games! There’s no memory or graphics that run my steam games! Even older games aren’t even steam verified and a lot of games don’t work very well on the steam deck even though they’re deck verified!

  8. @Jordansklar0698 on December 31, 2024 at 6:11 pm

    i want the legion go but with Linux and i intetend to do so some how lol

  9. @philipxxxdj on December 31, 2024 at 6:12 pm

    i think the claw is the best compared top the price 250usd you get one for here and better than the steam deck

  10. @dutae2024-g7f on December 31, 2024 at 6:12 pm

    The most important Reason that I will take steamdeck over any handheld is the suspend function, it just makes gaming for a Family much more enjoyable

  11. @АнтонСысжь on December 31, 2024 at 6:15 pm

    I lost trust of the steam deck because my release model stopped charging. I don’t want to buy OLED because i’m afraid the same thing will happen.

  12. @chrisp.5272 on December 31, 2024 at 6:16 pm

    Trying to build a really simple rig for playing American Trucking Simulator. Was using Nvidia GeForce Now via my Xbox SX, but there’s no support for wheels (Logitec G923) so it’s not really working out. I do most of my gaming primarily on my Xbox SX, and don’t want to really play on PC. Will the Asus ROG run American Trucking sim with the Logitech G923 connected to a 65” 4K Screen? I don’t mind running it at 1080P with settings maxed.

  13. @Marshal098 on December 31, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    In regard to the speakers. At first the sound was ass. But I found a comment on another video that said to turn off audio enhancement in windows settings for the speaker and the sound quality improved quite a bit.

  14. @codycooper5099 on December 31, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    Damn I didn’t even know all these existed lol

  15. @Twin-Nick on December 31, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    Am I crazy for thinking about buying the Ally? Or the Legion Go?

  16. @wtfcooldown9675 on December 31, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    Steam deck on top

  17. @User-pu3lc on December 31, 2024 at 6:18 pm

    OG Steam deck user. Bought the lowest storage option and did the internal storage mod myself.

    A bit jealous of the bigger screen of the OLED, but other than that my machine hits all the notes I need.

  18. @Hbgsolodolo840 on December 31, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    Which is best for gta v online ?

  19. @snowmcsnow4732 on December 31, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    Got my SteamDeck at launch and have not seen any reason to upgrade yet as it runs everything I play quite well including some demanding titles like Fallout 76, Elden Ring, Yakuza, etc. The extra power of say the ROG Ally X can be lost in the small screen but can be better appreciated when Docked to external Video; so I would definitely chose that one if it was my only gaming source. In the meantime I will wait for the next generation of SteamDecks and the competitor’s response before considering to upgrade.

  20. @azahel07 on December 31, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    Im playing dead by daylight what do you suggest should i buy, im having a hard time to choose and don’t have any idea about computers i only play on mobile and im having a hard time playing on pc because of the controls, so i want to buy this on the go PC which one should i buy?

  21. @ismaelmartinez5077 on December 31, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Love my lanovo one you get the right driver it’s a Beast can play any game at 60 fps no problem rust escape from tarkov and meny more game I use it as a desktop

  22. @IIPre on December 31, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    I’m avoiding the ally for bad customer service and them doing their very best not to refund you or actually fix your ally

  23. @dp7908 on December 31, 2024 at 6:23 pm

    I think I’ll wait for a Legion Go 1.5 upgrade since it’s exactly what I’m looking for in a handheld

  24. @89Oneal on December 31, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    0:51 what game is that?

  25. @AjMorgan-z6r on December 31, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    Which emulates the best

  26. @nniicckk1223 on December 31, 2024 at 6:26 pm

    I wouldn’t be interested in any of these if Nintendo just let me jailbreak my switch. But Nintendo hates it’s customers and wants to make sure you can only do what they want with your switch.

  27. @cadderley100 on December 31, 2024 at 6:28 pm

    6 months ago, hands down, I would have said an upgraded 64GB Steam Deck. Now, for my needs, for my emulation tastes, it is certainly the Rog Ally Extreme Z1. I think that the Rog Ally X costs way too much for what it is. It has the same basic processor as the Z1 Extreme anyway. The only real good thing about the X, is that the X uses a full sized 2280 NVME. Other than that, the X doesn’t really do anything that the Z1 Extreme doesn’t do, but it costs way more money.

  28. @Nielssinke on December 31, 2024 at 6:29 pm

    What about games from epic store? Is steamdeck able to play them without a lot of hassle?

  29. @Thetechchap on December 31, 2024 at 6:30 pm

    Hey Chaps! Which one would you go for??

  30. @Misile91 on December 31, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    As someone who owed a PSP, PS3 and a mobile user who is just getting into PC gaming…it very hard to find 1 thing to play the games I never had the privilege of playing

  31. @psychopurple on December 31, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    Hey this comparison was brilliant. Thank you for putting it together. It’s given me a lot more to think about, you are doing a top tier job. Always the UK tech channels putting out the best work! Keep it up. All the best.

  32. @Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_ on December 31, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    Legion Go is far superior if you are over 30, letters on screen are much more comfortable to read, and with the stand it willl continue to function as a powerful tablet (even in portrait) long after it gets left behind as a gaming device.

  33. @RockSp-oe1jl on December 31, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    How did we come from the psp days to this💀

  34. @BigRed-MWA on December 31, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    I like the Lenovo..👍

  35. @electriceyeslide5959 on December 31, 2024 at 6:34 pm

    The Legion Go is easily the best of them all. I have the Ally and hate it. The Lego is really a masterpiece because it gets the whole thing right. Can’t wait to see the second one.

  36. @NordicLeon0000 on December 31, 2024 at 6:39 pm

    I love looking at the steam deck’s oled screen with my non oled screen

  37. @ProjectSaiyan on December 31, 2024 at 6:41 pm

    I feel like my original rog ally’s performance degraded since the new one came out

  38. @howardkey6152 on December 31, 2024 at 6:42 pm

    I picked up my legion go second hand for $400 recently. I’m pretty happy so far. Glad I waited until everything was ironed out.

  39. @anantisocialsinsight on December 31, 2024 at 6:42 pm

    Do not get the Asus Rog Ally.
    Got it for 6 days and returned it. Multiple crashes, decreased and my sounds stopped working. After trying fixes I decided to just return that pos.

  40. @henryvines90 on December 31, 2024 at 6:43 pm

    Im about half way into this video. Anyway to video cast with any of these stream decks ?

  41. @sergep3976 on December 31, 2024 at 6:44 pm

    Why even make this video? Its Legion Go. All day long. They nailed everything (except battery life 😂).

  42. @MammothEricR-r1m on December 31, 2024 at 6:45 pm

    Getting my legion go soon 😉

  43. @LiquidSnake1988 on December 31, 2024 at 6:45 pm

    So Legion go the only detachable controller?

  44. @benvarley2927 on December 31, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    Msi claw is 300 dollars off at my local shop. Might have to pick one up and sell my laptop, as I have a ps5 for my big games

  45. @BXOG_ on December 31, 2024 at 6:49 pm

    These all run stream I’m guessing? I’m new here

  46. @harchintansingh on December 31, 2024 at 6:55 pm

    I love my Rog Ally especially with the fact that it also works as full fledged PC 😂

  47. @Popo_Plays on December 31, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    I still think that rog ally original not X looks the best specially in white color and i think there are no other colors for it 🤔 let me know what do you think

  48. @jcb0112 on December 31, 2024 at 6:57 pm

    Still mad at myself bought steam deck and 3 months later oled comes out 😭😭

  49. @josephsmith594 on December 31, 2024 at 6:57 pm

    I was going to get the Steam Deck for the OLED but the ROG Ally (original) was hundreds of dollars less. I’m loving the Ally, it runs everything, includes XBox, Steam, and Playstation apps, can run anything. And comes with a full blown Windows 11 license. Not concerned about the battery, got tons of external batteries lying around the house already and usually use it plugged in anyway.

  50. @samsquanch1382 on December 31, 2024 at 6:58 pm

    The issue I hear with the ASUS ROG ALLY is that it has the potential to damage SIM cards and ASUS has even recently admitted to it.
