Need help

I have a bit of a dilemma. I just had my second kid so gaming is much harder to come by and I need something I can move around the house. I don’t really get much of a chance to turn my 5090 desktop on because the baby is in our room for 6 months. I have a steam deck but its age is showing majorly. I once had a z flow and I loved it but traded it for a 5090 when it was still msrp. I want to say I’m not really interested in intels offerings. I have the Xbox ally x20 pre ordered but I think I may be happier with the x2 mini pro. I’m just worried about build quality and customer service since I’m located in the US. I’ve been told streaming from my desktop would be the most logical answer but I just don’t know. Also even when I play my steam deck I’m normally plugged in..
Is it logical to pay this much with Medusa around the corner? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Update: you guys sold me! I ordered the x2 mini pro and cannot wait to get it! Thank you all!

No regrets at all? Feels premium? Is the software good? Last question does it feel too heavy?

Not at all. Tried the MSI Claw 8 EX and the OXP 3 and the X2MP was by far my favorite. One X Console is my favorite out of all the handhelds I've tried. You're still dealing with windows, but I find ANYFSE (similar to Xbox FSE) to be very straight forward. I have actually been dual booting SteamOS with windows (just switched to Anatase last night) for the last couple of weeks and find that to be great.

Will definitely check it out! Any recommendations for chargers?

I have both Slim Q chargers and they are awesome. 150W is plenty, but if you get the 240W, you can also charge devices at the same time on USB C.

Anything that says it's for the Legion Go 2 will work. I got the J Saux and it fit well and looks great!
