    Overpowered Steam Deck

    If you’ve used the steam deck or are considering the steam deck and this is in your budget definitely get it. It feels amazing in hand and can run those games the steam deck couldn’t quite handle.

    Amazing handheld, runs Harry Potter and Warhammer 40k seamlessly at 60 fps average which is amazing for a handheld imo, especially one with an OLED screen. Would reccomend a seperate battery if using on flights/long trips as the battery life leaves a bit to be desired.

    Room for improvement....

    This review is for the device not best buy. I think it's decent but there is room for improvement. The ability to turn off the touch screen under game profiles would be great. The ability to change the the hertz of the screen would also be appreciated. Some of the boot screens are a little glitchy sometimes. And the trackpad is just a little miniature track pad it's not reminiscing of the steam track pad in any way or shape. And though I don't find it to cumbersome or heavy to hold some people probably would. Overall I think it's a great product hopefully it gets cheaper and slightly sleaker in the future.

    Having come from a SteamDeck in my eye this is like a Steamdeck 2.0. I love the screen plays great when docked and has enough memory and SSD size for future proofing. Only negative is the price but bestbuy has some great open box pricing.

    If anyone is looking to upgrade from a steam deck, this is the device to get. Retains the portability unlike some of the other new devices. The only complaint I have is the battery.

    It ran pretty much everything with the right expectations, screen is 1200p but one of the best LCD screens ive seen on any product. SteamOS is extremely easy to work with, setting TDP and fps control with only one button anytime. Battery is a bit small because of portability but i always just plug it in and play anyway to preseve battery health.

    SteamDeck Done Best

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the SteamDeck done at its best. Controller comfort, taller screen makes for a better screen ratio experience, Z1 Extreme is plenty powerful, etc The only down is the least utilized and that's the little touchpad (it borderline sucks lol). That negative being said, this is the definitive gateway to a Steam handheld. Get it on sale (or open box) to maximize savings if you can ... but ... get it!

    Honestly got this on black Friday and haven't put it down since. I can play most titles as very solid performance and anything else I use GeForce now which has been a godsend. Thought I would really need the LEGO2 or the Xbox ally x but really not missing out imo. It was a great deal. The only issue I really had was the battery life but usually I have a power bank or im near an outlet so it works out

    Game Changer

    Coming from the OG legion go. This legion go S Z1extreme with 32 gb ram and 1tb SSD is literally a game changer. Night and day difference. Love the ergonomics. Not much tweaking out of the box. Beautiful 8 inch screen. VRR makes this device so good. Battery is okay about 1hr 30 minutes on most AAA games. I stay by my 100w charger so it chargers quick while playing. If you are thinking about getting this device, i do recommend this handheld.

    This is my favorite console I’ve ever had. It runs way better than I expected, nice in the hands, the only flaw in an otherwise perfect product is the teeny tiny touch pad that’s inconveniently placed, but it’s an easy fix to turn it off!
