    Best Gaming Handheld Yet

    I’ve had a Switch for a long time. Then I got the original Legion Go which was great. However, i ran into performance issues with more demanding games. And Windows 11 on a handheld is terrible. When this Legion Go came out with the more ram and SteamOS I decided to give it a try. It’s amazing. Very easy to connect to Steam and start playing. No tedious tweaking and setting configurations required. I’ll always have a SteamOS handheld from here on out.

    Really enjoying this handheld so far, no regrets going for the steam OS because its much faster than windows and less bogged down with bloatware!
