Recently, many users of PC decided it was time to break free from their configurations office and enter the world of mobility, the one that allows us to go on vacation, on a business trip or to the park with a machine in hand to continue the game Baldur’s Gate 3, Diablo IV or any other game we have in our libraries SteamEpic o donde mer.
It’s something natural, which happens as we get older and see that daily tasks, family, etc., eat up the two or three hours we spend sitting in front of the computer screen. ‘computer. It is therefore time to begin to examine which model of what has been called handheld computer We will purchase. Are any of them already for sale or are we waiting for a future one? Steam Bridge 2?
Steam Deck 2, a pipe dream?
Don’t think we’ve gone crazy over the dilemma but it’s something some users have asked the subscriber about who, from what it seems, aren’t very aware of what’s going on on this walk. To remove the mystery from the question in the title, the answer is simple: don’t wait for Steam Deck 2 because it still has a year and a half or two years to arrive in stores. And that, in technology, is like trying to travel to Jupiter in a Seat Panda. Something very long.
As if you were looking for a friend who was despistado, who had learned the campanas but not yet, he responded to the needs of the game of 2024, the solutions presented in 2024. And this is what I am limited to: three, four, four, models, how are OLED Steam Bridge, Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go and, to a much lesser extent, for the moment, the latest arrival, who is MSI label.
So let’s focus on what we currently have and, let’s say, the official distribution and technical support that can get us out of trouble in the event of an outage. Currently, these alternatives are divided into two: on the one hand Steam bridgewhich works with SteamOS or what is the same, Linux, and on the other hand the models with Windows 11 in their guts. That’s it, there are no more. Don’t think about it anymore.
And among all these, which one should I buy?
If you want to stick Steam and not always tinker too much under the aegis of Valvewell, it’s clear, Steam bridge and be the model with the better screen, better battery and – they say – a little more performance. In addition, it is the cheapest in the 512 GB configurations so it is perfect even if it is far from the performance of its competitors.
Asus ROG Ally It is, by far, the one which presents the best balance between power, price – you can find real good deals -, design and weight to transport and take away without it passing into the waste category, as well as enormous performance in games under whatever TDP you give it, let’s get in.
Lenovo Legion Go It’s a raw presence. Bigger, heavier and more expensive, but with more screen and slightly better performance than the Asus ROG Ally. Everything will therefore depend on how much you want to carry and carry in your backpack and what you are going to spend.
Eventually MSI label which is, today, a melon to open. Which requires optimization and a lot of work to refine the firmwarethe bone Drivers and even the operating system. At the moment we don’t recommend it, but in three or six months it might be the best option.
So no, don’t wait Steam Bridge 2.
