I think the most convenient middle ground between original reproduction and modern hardware would be buying a small crt monitor which can usually be bought for around 10-20U$D and its going to be even better than the best crt tv's from back then, and then use PCSX2 emu on software rendering and run the games at native 640x480 (and 640x480 interlaced if you happen to have an intel cpu with integrated graphics, you get native 480i) and play the games like that, 15" crts are not very large actually, if your desktop isnt too small it should fit in fine, and you can get rid of it easily when you're done playing ps2 games. PS2 games on modern lcd panels are going to look awful, that is nothing at all what they looked like on tubes, its just garbage.

I just bought one, and it's my very first PC handheld and I'm beyond impressed. I was in your shoes looking for a PC/console for living room and grab and go, easy to carry. And may I say Nintendo switch emulation is incredible on this, my steam library awesome 😎 and PlayStation AAA games porting to PC it's a no BRAINER, I look at it as a good investment!

I traded my Ally X for the Vivobook S16 with a Ryzen 370 and an 890 GPU. Now, I can enjoy all my turn-based JRPGs on a large OLED screen with a proper controller. Best part? It was priced the same as the Ally X-an absolute no-brainer!

I was in a very similar position. I wanted a game but getting on the console just seemed so hard. If all you’ve ever owned is consoles like me the ROG ally x will blow your mind. If you have history with PC gaming, you may not be as impressed. Although I do miss 4K, I never was able to game 100 fps at 120 hz for cod and the rig allows that with about 2.5 hours-3 hours of game time. I got mine for 700 in November have not touched my series x since. Sad but the truth

An Xbox is not more powerful! Lol do yourself a favor and download bazzite " steam os"....it's just like steam . Or dual boot it , and run both. The legion go is bad, and the speaker are garbage!!! The ally X was easily the best choice . Or you could of just bought the OG ally and do a battery upgrade for $60 ...74 watt battery fits inside with a little modding...very easy. Thats what I did with my ally og . Battery, bazzite, and a huge 2tb SSD. ..its perfect

I love my Ally X. I had the Legion Go, and the OG Ally Z1 Extreme. Picked mine up on Black Friday for $100 off, and sold the other 2. In do miss the larger screen on the legion Go, but otherwise the battery, extra RAM, and 2280 M.2 SSD are way better to have. I take mine to work, and on trips with zero worry about the battery life. It's a game changer.

@edwardlashley3572 so battery isn't important? you'd rather take a handheld with 32GBs of ram but a 40W battery over a handheld with 24GBs of ram and 80W battery? I don't think the extra 8GBs makes a huge difference especially the higher up you go. The way I see it idk if a handheld runs games SUPER fast, if it only last like 1hr on battery and requires me to stay plugged in to game for longer then no thanks... I'd rather just play at my desk if I HAVE to be tethered

I got mines used a few months ago for $550 it’s been an absolute dream! I sold my PS5 and went all in with the Ally X since it’s been my first step in PC Gaming. I even bought a RTX 4070 Super to dock as an eGPU and installed a 4TB SSD lol. Now that FSR2 and Lossless Scaling 3 is available you can a huge boost in performance and FPS solely using the handheld and iGPU.

At that point just wait for the Legion Go 2 later this year. The AMD Z2 Extreme already outclassed the new Claw’s chip. Plus Bazzite is pretty finicky using Nvidia drivers which is what the Claw uses in case you were interested in dual booting both OS. MSI was smart to release their new handheld in early Q1 before their main competitors continue to dominate the market share of handhelds but sadly they’ll come in last place yet again.

Good video. After the learning curve, honestly, the WIndows handheld is the way to go. I have the OG Ally and wish it had the extra RAM. It's a very capable machine and VRR is the main reason I bought it. The Deck 's hardware is too weak these days, and no VRR. My Steam Deck collects dust, unfortunately. It's a great emulation machine.
