    First just wanna say, thank you for the informative videos. You give great context and relatable scenarios/preferences, which makes it easy for a buyer to put themselves in that situation.
    As it pertains to your video advice? Don’t change a thing with your format, it’s very concise. Don’t change the way you insert your opinions/experience, it’s helpful. THE ONE THING I can recommend, is to rewatch your videos again while editing before you post them. I’ve listened to a couple videos audio-only while I’m at work and I noticed a good handful of cuts that weren’t placed properly, some devices misnamed a few times which confused me while listening for a few seconds, until you elaborated. Really just editing/polish is the only advice I have.
    TLDR: Just keep doing your thing your own way, and just polish up your edits, you’ll do great here man. 🤘🤘

    Bro, thanks for this awesome review. I watched a bunch of reviews for all three and still couldn't decide. But, after your review I finally made up my mind and chose the ROG. I love how you used actual gameplay experiences you had and talked about them like you did with the gameplay audio experience for the ROG.
    A lot of reviewers just talk more on the technical side and not so much on the gaming side.

      If you are playing God of War @720p on Low settings using 15watts on the Steam Deck, but playing at 900p, medium settings, @25watts on the Ally, of course you are going to see a massive discrepancy in battery life, but you got a better gaming experience in return.

    Great points. I wanted a retro emulation handheld. I did have an odin 2 but screen only 6 inches. I went for Legion Go as I wanted best experience for ps2 and gamecube emulation and the steam deck although can play them its not as good as legion Go as I've tried them side by side. The battery isnt anything to worry about as its not like I'm expecting demanding AAA games.

    The Legion Go does sound bad out of the box. But I was quite surprised by how much installing FXSound on it and just running the default profile helped on the sound. It basically just boosted the loudness without distorting or losing clarity. So I'll definitely recommend that. Especially since it's free. It won't get close to the other two because the speakers are still topfiring. But I will say that I think the sound on my Legion Go after installing FXSound is better than the sound on my Switch OLED even though that one has frontfacing speakers.

    • @UltimateGattai

      I wish more phones would have front facing speakers. No matter what you do, top/bottom firing speakers just don't have the clarity and quality without jacking up the volume.

    Great video. Was actually dwelling on this for a while. Ended up purchasing a Legion Go two weeks ago then returned it after owning it for a week. It was a great piece of hardware but still felt underpowered based on my usage and the grip of the controllers and back buttons simply was not comfortable. I’ve held all 3 of these devices before and I’d say the ASUS ROG Ally is the most comfortable to hold and use.

    Great video. Very casual and nicely organized. Speaking objectively, my suggestion would be to tighten up your closing. Since it's so difficult to definitively answer the inevitable "which one is best" question, instead maybe call out which you'd keep if you could only keep one. By the end of the video I felt you'd established enough viewer credibility to conclude the presentation with your choice, rather than re-hash the "it depends" answer. It'll probably be easier to write too, since you can work backwards from your conclusion.
    Great job! Subbed. :)

I also work in IT so not worred about the windows environment at all.

      If you ask my opinion, if you can wait then I'd wait for ROG Ally 2.
      Claw is nothing special. Meanwhile ASUS had a dip on the market already an will surely revise the new Ally to the market's demands.
      Otherwise, just get the Legion Go at this point for performance or SD OLED for battery life.

    Depends, with the Steam Deck you might run into problems with game compatibility especially those which are multiplayer & anti cheat enable. But it’s a solid gaming device from the moment you boot it up and just get straight into gaming. And with Linux as its operating system, it is a lot more optimal with battery depending on the game you play, you get about 2-3 hours with AAA games or 5-6 hours with indie games.
    On the other hand, with the the ally and legion go, you will get full game compatibility due to it’s using window as its operating system. The problem is window sucked in power consumption & optimisation because window was not met to be build to be as optimal for handheld. Another part you need to know is that you need it to treat it more of a computer, not everything is going to work with the controllers so be prepare to touch the screen a lot which something I would find annoying.
    Lastly competitive pricing with the cheapest model of the deck is at least 300$ brand new at some places while the ally and its window brothers are selling at 600$ and above.
    At the end of the day, you are the gamer, you choose what make it comfortable for you and what you truly want. Don’t get mix up into the Steam Deck Vs Ally stuffs blindly. That will be all from me, thanks you for reading.

    This is my first encounter with your channel and I really enjoyed this video, i was really more curious about the legion and the steam deck but learning about the ROG was actually pretty cool I’m not super into pcs and I’m not into the hand helds at all but I’ve been seeing a lot of steam deck ones and I saw a short in the legion and your video is number one on searches which makes sense as you literally compared the best ones available. Would you recommend just getting a laptop if I was to get the legion let’s say? I believe it was 699.99 before tax where I found it, and I could get a decent little travel laptop and home use for what 1000? I may be wrong..
    channel improvements: ad transition screens maybe (maybe listing the specs on a screen w the device with footage of the device or whatever you’re talking about, price, title ect)
    As many others mentioned down below figuring out chapters for these longer videos so people can skip to where they need information as not everyone will be like me and be completely clueless as to what all of these are.
    Lastly just be consistent if you can’t push out multiple videos a week for whatever reason just pick one day a week, same time, same day every week and if you can do multiple do that. You will gain traction this video was spectacular

    Another fantastic video, my advice would just be stay consistent and explore new content. I know it's easier said than done but maybe create a schedule like 2 uploads a week and maybe explore products like ayaneo or razer Edge wifi or even scuffed handheld pcs from aliexpress etc, I would suggest you do eventually explore new areas of content other than handheld gaming devices to increase your fan base and maximise your content so you never run out of ideas. Best of luck.

  • @mott1992

    The fact that you have extensive experience with these devices, and you own all three makes you super qualified to compare them. Love this video. I hope you make more. I'm strongly considering an Asus ROG Ally as a complete replacement to my old gaming pc, and will plan to use it docked 90% of the time and handheld 10% of the time (when travelling).
    Question on the ROG Ally: Can the battery life be extended to say.... 6-9 hours in a low powered mode for playing emulators (up to PS2 era)? This is a big deciding factor for me, since I really want a handheld device to run all my emulators and be able to play them on longer flights. I essentially want a device that can be used as a permanent replacement to my old gaming pc, but then when I travel, I can just undock it and play emulators for 6-9 hours while travelling.

    • @mravg79
      @mravg79 3 месяца назад

      A bit of a different take, while battery game is important for me I already have consoles on which I can play new games, I also have an older laptop with gtx970m. I started as a PC gamer back in ‘92, I never fully ditched PC which means I have backlog of games (sales, bundles, giveaways [quite a lot of games, to be frank]) so Steam Deck (in my case OLED) is a great device to explore my backlog. I like the fact I can start a game in which single levels are short and just play a bit (not worrying much about battery life as for such games it is 5-8h examples LEGO builder’s journey - finished it good game, cloud gardens, baba is you). From older bigger titles I now play Batman Origins (around 5h with settings I have on a single battery charge). I also have newer games like The Ascent or GameDec. How I use the device is either during longer travels when I can pick a game I know battery will last me for a few hours, or for shorter sessions in the evening when I’m fine with 2h game time.
      while Desktop mode is usable with steam Deck controller it is still not optimized for it, but the experience is better than on windows. The gaming mode works for sure better than any windows handheld. What is more with dock and external display I also made deck my main PC (not for gaming but anything else) and it works for me just fine.
      Sure there are some limitations and I will need to dig deeper to go around them (for example system language change which requires removing RO from system, and the fact scripts needs to be prepared to change the language each time after SD OS update as it simply flashes the whole OS image and overrides used made changes to OS files).

    I personally own a legion go and have been using it every so often for about 4 months.
    A couple things either grazed over or not mentioned. The legion go has come a LONG way since launch with amazing software updates. Most notably, for me, was deadzone adjustments and configuring the stupid top buttons to start and select, which come naturally as the tdp screen and legion space hotkeys respectively, this update was huge, because i did not want to make a habit of pressing those bottom 2 buttons on the left stick for start and select, feels very unnatural. One thing you grazed over was the fact that you can detach both the left and right controller. This is the only handheld to do so. Yes there will be some wobble over time, but a couple pieces of electrical tape above and below the connector ports for the controllers on the device body fixes this issue, especially with the right one. It comes with VERY WELL MADE kickstand, which I personally use to flip over on my stomach on my bed, pillow under my arms, prop the legion up on the kickstand on the edge of my bed at a perfect angle, take the controllers off, and give myself the freedom of range of motion with wherever i want to rest my arms/hands to play. It took only about a day or 2 of consistent playing to get used to playing with the controllers off. Each controller has a separate individual battery. which lasts a LOOONGGG time. I played for about 2 hours yesterday and my controllers were only at around 95% from 100%. Another thing to think about is windows themselves are working on a new version of windows that is optimized and catered to windows handhelds, so if not being tech savvy is an issue, look out for when the new OS for the handhelds drop. If I think of anything else, I will come back to this comment and make an edit.
    Great video cyber. Hope my personal feedback with the legion go is useful for somebody.
    Cheers

    Buy the Steam Deck oled if you want a comfortable(Very good battery life(3hours+ on average) and much better controls in my opinion as a Playstation and Xbox gamer)and okay portability as well as better support(software and community) in addition it is the best bang for the buck.
    Buy The Rog Ally if you want okayish battery life and the most optimized windows handheld(for now) and maximum portability.
    Buy the Legion Go if you have no qualms or worries and just wants the best performance and hardware without worrying about portability(it is not portable at all)

    Totally agree with you about the performance of Rog Ally and Legion Go. I wanted to buy absolutely a Legion for the big screen but I made my research and I could smell that Rog Ally was having a higher performance despite the Legion Go has a better Ram, this happens especially for the emulation. Anyway this was confirmed when i tested it personally, I can't say why exactly but the Rog Ally push it really to the limit, maybe is just better optimized.
