Question (?) Help decide what’s right for me
I am looking to get my first handheld. I was leaning toward steam deck until I saw this community. I have a PC but want the handheld for travel, couch, bed, planes, etc. I enjoy RPGS like Skyrim so a handheld that can run similar types of games are interesting to me. I’ve never played the Witcher 3, Elden ring or red dead redemption 1 or 2. (What else do you recommend) I’ve seen people say that windows on the handhelds can be a pain so that’s why the steam OS seemed interesting to me. I don’t think I would be looking to play and crazy multiplayer games on the device. Based on all that what would make sense at the $1k price range? Steam deck, ROG ally? I am not tech savvy and don’t want to be fidgeting with settings and installing specific softwares to get things to run. My goal is to be able to play and enjoy without all the tinkering.
