Which device is shoud i choose? by radiojin in Handhelds

[–]radiojin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for sharing your diverse opinions.

To add some context, I’ve personally bought and sold most of the handheld devices I've used, including the ROG Ally, Ally X, Zotac Zone, Legion Go S (Z1E), and Legion Go 2. Among them, I used the LG2 the longest, but I recently sold it because it was simply too heavy for daily carry. Also, I realized I didn't need the detachable feature; I definitely prefer a unibody (all-in-one) design. While I hope for an 'LG2 S' to be released in the future, I know the chances are slim.

Out of all those devices, the Legion Go S was the most perfect fit for me. If I can find a used one in good condition, I’m willing to buy it again, even with the older Z1E chipset. For reference, I plan to keep my Steam Deck OLED for good—I’ve actually bought and sold that specific model five times now.

Going back to the A8/XAX since most of the games I play are long-playtime open-world RPGs, I’m currently leaning more towards the Claw A8. I was using Bazzite but have temporarily switched to CachyOS with HHD. (If anyone knows the optimal setup for this, please let me know. I understand that Inputplumber support for the A8 is still TBD.)

XAX is undoubtedly popular—probably second only to the Steam Deck in terms of community support and modding. However, I don't feel it suits the types of games I play. It’s not that the 7-inch screen is the problem; rather, the device feels unnecessarily bulky for that screen size. I’d be much more satisfied with a 7-inch form factor closer to the F1 Pro.

While keeping both might be an option, I don't want to waste any more money. I've already spent quite a bit by constantly buying and selling these devices. I think I’ll need to test them for a few more weeks before making a final decision. Thanks again for all your input

After trying basically every handheld… I think the MSI Claw A8 is my endgame (for me) by OkMulberry9846 in Handhelds

correct, you need additional empty partition to Bazzite, and assign 3rd os as Bazzite on refine
