I forgot to talk about the AYANEO NEXT line of devices. They have similar prices to the Steam Deck, but you get much older processors with Vega 8 graphics. Even the most powerful version of the NEXT is still much worse than the Steam Deck. I made a whole video about how much I dislike the AYANEO NEXT
solid video. im too scared to do the internal memory swap myself but that will definitely be the route in the future once i work up the courage. buying a 64gb and then upgrading is definitely the play
Personally i think there isnt an objective best budget handheld PC, or best handheld PC in general because I personally prefer SteamOS and don't like windows on a handhelds and others will feel the opposite. I think a refurbished Steam Deck LCD will be the best budget handheld PC for most but not all, either that or a rog ally.
A bought a msi claw at 450 dollars because it was on sale and in comparison the 512 gb steam deck oled is at 530 dollars , but!!! A few guys on reddit bought the msi claw at 388 dollars !!! In short with sales any console can be under 400 xdd (and they got on sale like a lot lol)
Just received my 512 LCD steam deck yesterday. Got it on sale for $335. It felt like I couldn't say no. Took me five hours to get it to simply turn on and download its updates. Had problems linking to my Steam account, and more troubles downloading my first game to it from my library. It's definitely not a "out of the box" device. You'll be tinkering and troubleshooting from the first moment. Still, I wanted to dip my toes into pc gaming and everything it opens up to you, so I kinda knew what I was getting into. Can't really complain for the price. It's a new hobby and pastime that comes with a lot of ongoing learning, but it's what I wanted to try. I'll probably have to spend another $100-200 on other peripherals and things to really use it. It's going to get docked and displayed on my TV. Gotta have a keyboard and mouse for it.
@@hihellokitty85 I probably phrase that poorly I was talking about older GPD devices because those are the only ones around the price point I should’ve been more specific
Got lucky on ebay and got one for $400. However, there are some glitches with the GDP Win 4 like sometimes the screen doesn't turn on so you have to hold reset for 30 seconds to reset the bios/etc.

Probably a used or refurbished steam deck or Ally
Agreed
Yeah, I think a used non-OLED Steam Deck is pretty good value now and won't lose a lot of value in the near future.
I was able to grab the Asus Rog Ally for $350 at the Sam's club near me, definitely worth it, in my opinion!
Is it extreme version

Damn Legion go is so cheap there, where I live 512 brand new full price still cost equivalent to around 870$ and around 670$ used

Don't fix the typo in the title, it's what made me click the video. 😂
Used Steam Deck OLED 😎
wow ur underratted does the algorthim have beef with u
i'd say a used rog ally or steam deck
This is too early
steam deck best because ewww, windows gross.
You can always put Bazzite OS on a Windows handheld and turn it into a Steam Deck.
Your delusional. GPD WIn 4 is more powerful than Steam Deck.

Switch lite OLED is the best
not a pc handheld
Not a pc handheld
That's not even a PC handheld.
Thats definitely not a Personal Computer Handheld
Has someone jailbroken it yet without the chip install?
