Steam Deck or Legion Go?
I’ve been looking into grabbing some sort of mobile gaming option, mostly to play games inside the house outside of my office like on the couch but occasionally on the go away from my main PC.
The Steam Deck initially sparked my interest due to how much people seem to love it and the possibility of using remote play from my main PC to the steam deck to play more demanding games at home, but I’ve also been reading that the the lower resolution and size of the display can make it difficult to read text, etc, even if the game is running well from the main PCs processing power.
Lenovo Legion Go seems to have a better display and hardware for more demanding games, and it seems like the Lenovo Legion S with Steam OS is only a few hundred dollars more. If it comes pre-installed with Steam OS, would I also have the option of using remote play from my main PC while at home? Do I specifically need the version that has Steam OS installed to do so?
I’m also less familiar with the Lenovo line of devices, is the Lenovo legion S the one with all the power or have I accidentally been looking at a cheaper, less powerful model?
Thanks so much for any help!
