I had another option, the Ayaneo 2, until the battery crapped out then I accidentally broke a critical cable (that replacements for aren't sold) while installing the new one.

Awesome device. It's a fair bit more powerful than the Steam Deck but not quite on par with the Legion Go or ROG Ally; spec wise, and real world tests in reviews seem to confirm this.

If I were getting a new one, I would rule out the Deck immediately. This is with the caveat that the reason for this is that the handheld would also be my main PC (docked when doing non-gaming stuff). Even without the extra steps involved in running Windows (or a normal Linux distro) on the Deck, the lower specs make it a poor deal here when the cost difference isn't that huge (I understand the difference is bigger in some places). Performance is somewhat a factor too, but in the absence of using it as a main PC, the Deck would at least be worth considering, though I'd still likely go for one of the others.

Between the Ally or the Go, I think I'd go with the Ally. The lower res screen will be better for battery life and lower resolution (especially when we're just talking 1080p vs 1440p) is hardly a problem at sizes that small. Go also seems to overdo it a bit with the gimmicky stuff; I could see the back buttons in particular getting in the way.

Overall though, I'm gonna hold off buying a new one until there's an option locally available with 32GB RAM. People who intend to use it solely for gaming / light tasks (streaming videos etc) will be perfectly fine with the 16GB in current models.
