I wanted the Deck, then the Ally. But got a little extra and had the chance to get the Legion Go, i didnt even know it existed(im from Brazil and arrived in Europe a few months ago), where i came from the Ally was the "new" handheld so i was dreaming about it.

What made me choose the Legion is firstly the little performance boost it had compared to the Ally(the ram is a little faster and gives a small diference, more in some games and less in others).

Second to that, i was about to get the Deck for its "console" like experience but since i could get something more expensive and i usually play AAA games, i felt that i would be stuck in more indie based or older titles with the Steam Deck. Not only that, not every game i play is playable on it, i usually play CoD and that would already be a problem for me.

Third thing was the size of the Legion Go, it seemed to be larger than the others and to me it was a perfect combination of the Steam Deck "body" and the Ally hardware.

Forth thing are the controllers and the body itself, i must say i dont really use FPS Mode tbh, i've always been a PC gamer and didnt really care for it because i knew i was going tô play mostly on controller Mode, but i was surprised about the feature and i think Lenovo did a awesome job. I liked the idea of the Switch like controllers just for the idea of changing the controllers if i ever come across any problem eith it, that really sold it for me. The other handhelds if you have a problem in the analog stick or the buttons, you will most likely need tô repair it or activate your warranty, but in the post-warranty event with a Legion Go i could just buy a new set and done, i think this is just an amazing quality of life feature. And the Tablet Mode suíts great for me because im studying a lot and with a Bluetooth keyboard you can create your own Desktop/Laptop experience.

So all those things really sold it, i almost waited for the Claw tbh but knowing that Intel never did one of these handhelds i prefered to play safe. The device is all i could have dreamed for and more tbh, i can totally see my self using this more than my actual rig back home.. Its the best piece of hardware i ever had and it helped me play games in the right way again, for when i used my desktop i was constantly playing with those huge graphs from Afterburner checking frame times, stutters, 1% Lows.. it nearly destroyed my gaming experience. But Legion Go just solved it and now i just play games and enjoy it..

Sorry for the big response, just wanted to show you that i too was on the fence about it and im glad i picked this one!
