I am downsizing my gaming setup as I don’t game too much anymore, just casually. I want to use a gaming handheld to play games in bed, dock to my two monitors for casual use like Microsoft office etc too. Most of the time I will be next to a wall outlet so can charge it easily.
There is so much hype around the Steam Deck OLED but it seems amazing more for portable usage.
Would it be worth me looking at the Lenovo Legion Go potentially? The larger 1600p screen with 144hz seems just as great and I can play games plugged in most of the time. The only thing that scares me is the software still basically being in beta and the difficulty of getting gyro to work, oh and of course the steam deck trackpads are better.
Any thoughts/advice is appreciated!
I prefer the deck, because its NOT running windows. Be aware the Deck runs Linux steamOS so while it can do a lot of Desktop stuff and make use of monitors, you may have to learn some extra skills. Or setup a dual boot with windows.
:)
But if Docking to a monitor/tv - remember the Deck is not a powerhouse of a Gaming PC. So 4K gaming, is really not going to be a thing.
And Yes the trackpads give extra flexibility.
No idea on the Legion Go, or other alternatives, if they use windows, I am basically not interested.
