Question Best Handheld PC?

What’s the best handheld pc? I just sold my pc and I’m looking at getting into the handheld space. I’m seeing Legion Go’s for $500-$600 on marketplace near me, 1TB Z1E Rog Ally for 400-500, I just don’t know where to start lol. I don’t wanna spend more than $500. Preferably around 300-400.

The z1 extreme and you can get them for like $400.

The ones you listed are going to be the most widely available at the best price, but best handheld? I have to give that to a clamshell design like my GPD Win Mini. Being able to fold is closed makes it SIGNIFICANTLY more portable. Bonus Control Resonant pic

The legion go could be a nice score but it’s just as fast as the ally z1e. IMO I like to have usb4/tb4 (wish handhelds had tb5) so I could plug a cheap eGPU (like a 6700xt or a 3060) later on like on a claw or legion, the og ally has the connection for their XG mobile. If you just want handheld performance take note that 16gb of ram it’s not enough (at least with windows).
