One of which transforms into a mouse.
Theres no arguing against it having some best-in-class specs.
Another big win over the ROG Ally is the inclusion of a trackpad.
What the Steam Deckdoeshave OLED or otherwise is a somewhat better grasp of ergonomics.
Especially on the right side, where the lowered thumbstick demands a more bottom-heavy grip.
Still, its a tidy package overall.
Not if youre intended to plug peripherals and other accessories into your handheld PC.
The screen impresses as well.
Admittedly, you will almost definitely need these.
Real toughuns likeReturnalandStarfieldremain completely outside the Ryzen Z1 Extremes capabilities, even with 800p and FSR upscaling.
Again, when a game can run smoothly at 1600p, its great.
Thats still strange, to me.
Its like buying a glistening new4K monitorthen hooking it up to a knackered GTX 960. message that Windows-based handheld PCs are always keen to push.
Its also easy appreciate how installing launchers likeBattle.netand theEpic Games Launcheronly requires, yknow, an installer.
Not diving so deep into SteamOS files that you come out with black lung.
Not forgetting, of course, that the Legion Go offers another way of physically playing games entirely.
One thats both hugely distinct from other handhelds, and almost comfortingly familiar to seasoned desktop PC players.
Hate aiming with thumbsticks in shooters?
It initially feels quite odd, arguably more akin to an unsecured flight stick than a real vertical mouse.
I got to grips with it eventually, though, and hey when it works, it works.
Getting it set up is slightly faffy, too.
Battery life also presents a couple of pleasant surprises.
It charges mighty fast, too.
No, but you dont get the it-just-works seamlessness of a Steam Deck.
And even if its real-life applications are limited, the detachable mouse is good enough to fill a niche.
Or, at least, easier to look past.
