    I guess the bigger question that comes from this, is do I go with a Steamdeck or with a Legion 2?

    A follow up would be, do I wait for the Steamdeck 2

      If you’re looking into that, it might be worth considering some of the Android portable like the AYN Thor.

      While they are usually focused on console emulation, on the more powerful units you can run older windows titles on them via emulation as well as any native android stuff you feel like running. The battery life of anything ARM beats the hell out of anything x86. There are also form factors available worlds better than the Legion or Steamdeck if you actually want something you can carry around in a pocket.

      The aforementioned AYN Thor is about the size and form factor of a 3DS and retails for $250 for the cheapest model. So if you’re looking for something to tide you over until you can get a full gaming PC/Gabecube/Steamdeck 2, it might be better “half measure” than a Legion or Steamdeck.
