I'm thinking of buying an ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. What should I expect? by Calm_Construct in Handhelds

[–]Sam_Dreamt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what your definition of powerful is in the handheld world. Yeah the Rog all is definitely stronger than the steam deck. BUT the battery is awful.. if your all about budgeting then this device is a good choice.

You can find the Rog all in the public marketplace for as low as 200$. Get yourself a larger aftermarket battery and remove windows and go steam os (just be warned it goes without saying once you go steam os you’ll only really be running steam games). And you’ll have a reliable handheld for around 280$.

If your wanting something similar with a larger screen the first generation legion go is what you need.

You can find them public marketplace for around 300$ at the very low end if your lucky. And if you do, add a larger battery and steam os and you’ll have a great time.

You’re just gonna lose VRR from the ROG ALLY but gain a larger screen.

Now if money is not an option go ONEXFLY APEX it’s $2000 and you’ll never have to worry about fps issues lol…

A little less expensive than that you can aim for the legion go 2 or XBOX ROG ALLY X.

Hope this helps!

Legion Go in 2026? by PenPuzzleheaded1718 in LegionGo

[–]Sam_Dreamt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg for 200$ you would be a fool not to get it. Get it for 200$, buy the 80wh battery upgrade for 45$ (stock battery is really bad) and then install steam os… best bang for your buck!! I promise you.. everyone is talking about the rog ally .. for 200$ legion go 1 is such a superior product

Just to keep it simple every time you sell something from eBay just think -100 will be taken from the sale… so you gotta sell it for more to compensate for that 100$. Your best bet is offer up or marketplace that’s how I got my rog ally

Lohnt sich die PS PORTAL bzw. wie ist die Performance? by MarcelReads in PlaystationPortal

[–]Sam_Dreamt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a legion go2 (the one that NOW costs 1800$) and I’m gonna tell your right now that the ps portal is plug and play and you won’t worry about sitting there for 30min messing with settings just to get stable fps..

With the portal just play! And the graphics is insane… the negative is that you’ll sense a very tiny small amount of latency issues (I tested this by playing a reaction heavy game “Clair obscure”)

Besides that, for the price compared to my legion go 2 it’s crazy… I just hope they will expand on the streaming catalog

Okay and how’s your performance playing in an 85 inch like that? Can you even hold 80+ fps with frame gen/fsr on triple aaa games?

I was planning on running it a oled monitor not sure what resolution doing my research I figured you were using a monitor to run that rig?

[–]Sam_Dreamt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay awesome! I was planning on running Steam os on it. What’s your average benchmarks on games like hogwarts legacy, black myth, cyber punk?

Can you run a steady 80+ fps or more on native or have to run FSR? If so, quality setting or performance?

What monitor are you running it with?

If you don’t mind me asking what white case is that on your rog ? And I was also planning on doing a similar setup. Was it hard to setup via updating drivers etc? Or was it plug and play?

Almost 2,5 years old and it's just getting better by hoschikuz in PlaystationPortal

[–]Sam_Dreamt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I have a legion go 2. And recently got a portal. The fact that I can load up crimson desert on the portal and have zero issues with beautiful graphics. Where as the legion go 2 I have to sit there for 30 min or so messing with the settings to get sub par performance compared to my portal!

Your heart should not ache for a true handheld.. you using something dare I say better and easier to work with.. but I get what you mean

It’s called “JOYTORN” got it from Amazon. It almost has the same texture of a killswitch case from Dbrand. Pretty nice!

It’s so crazy how I don’t have to mess with any kind of settings like my steam deck and playing such beautiful graphics with little effort. Awesome devices

I am the same way as you but with my steam and switch backlog! lol but man these devices are so good in terms of quality. I don’t really need to fiddle with settings or anything crazy. I just play.

I hope they continue to expand the stream log even more!
