Legion Go vs Go S (32GB RAM)

QUESTION

Hi everyone. I have a ROG Ally Z1 (non extreme) and currently looking to upgrade. The device is not all that powerful however the reason I initially bought it is because it was on sale and I spent only $100 of my actual money.

My brother has been looking on the PC handhelds for some time now and I was thinking about gifting him my Ally and buying a new handheld. I know I can also get the Z1 Extreme Ally for cheap on Marketplace but I wanted to move away from the Ally due to the SD card issues on these models

I play my main games on console (PS5) and when I want to stream them, I just use chiaki. What I’d like to play on the handheld would be older games and I saw that Legion Go S was actually on sale a few days ago for a very good price at Best Buy. I know the Legion Go S has a worse GPU and slower RAM but I was wondering if you think it’s a smart buy and worth the upgrade

Legion Go seems nice too and has the detachable controllers but the device seems too big. I know it has Z1 Extreme and I expect some sales once Legion Go 2 comes out

Do you think Legion Go is a better buy over the Go S? As I said, I only want to play older games, use Emu Deck and to a certain extent, use it as my personal computer when traveling. (I’ll be traveling a lot going forward due to work)

Thank you in advance!
