The hot topic as of late: Legion Go S, Z1E, SteamOS 1TB on Black Friday/ Cyber Monday for $650. Is this the best value in PC handhelds right now?

I've been doing some decent research on PC handhelds and trying to figure out what would work best for me. I didn't pay much attention to the Legion GO devices until the black Friday sale and that price difference was enough for me to pull the trigger on getting one (and I quite literally just got it, haven't even opened the box yet).

Is this currently the best all around package for the price? Cause looking at the other handhelds, this seems like a heck of a bargain.

I tried LeGo 2 and LeGo S at Bestbuy and just didn't see enough there to pay twice as much. I also saw the ally x and was not impressed with that screen (the Go has a better one).

Original Lego has 16gb ram and is $100 more. Xbox Ally X at $1k is a no go from me. GPD Win 5 looks incredible but i'm just not comfortable taking out a almost $2k device in public (not for fear of theft but for fear of damage and getting support). Original Ally is same price but only has 512gb of space and 16gb ram. I've had a Steam Deck (loved it) but sold it because I thought performance could've been better.

Anything else i'm missing? I haven't looked into Ayaneo or MSI Claw.
