Handheld Owners

[adamg64]

**Sorry i was looking to find a dedicated handheld thread but could find anything feel free to link or merge me please**

i am looking to purchase my first ever handheld system and looking for advice or recommendations for one.

Read a few reviews and hearing they are more of a mini portable PC in you pocket i have a need for this i go USA twice a year it would be great for the long flights, i have an older gaming laptop but its rally not very compact and i get to the point i have just stopped using it and taking it on trips now.

I was set on getting a steam deck oled but looking round considering other options, i missed the refurbished steam decks last week on steam and its made me look around elsewhere but im in the complete unknown.

I was taking a look a the Lenovo Legion Go with the 8.8 screen looks a great spec can pick up refurbished version for around the £400 mark looks a lot more powerful that the steam deck?

Anybody recommend anything or does and don'ts, what are you using?

Thank you

I'm not 100% sure if it's still the case, but I believe the greatest argument in favour of the Steam Deck is that it's just so much more easy to use than the others in terms of the OS etc.

Steam Deck is easy to use, it's like a PC console, and I absolutely love mine. Other handhelds can be more powerful, but the Steam Deck just has it nailed in my opinion

You'll find more of the relevant threads are in the PC Games section as collectively it seems people view them more as a PC than a console.
