Legion Go 2 (32GB RAM) vs. Ally X (Z2 Extreme) for future eGPU setup?

I’m looking for a handheld to use as my main device, paired with an eGPU in the future.

I’m torn between:

  1. Legion Go 2: For the rumored 32GB of RAM.
  2. ROG Ally X (Z2 Extreme): For the new AI/NPU TOPS and chip efficiency.

For an eGPU setup, is the extra RAM more vital for longevity than the NPU/AI improvements of the Z2 AI Extreme?

Important Context:

  • No Laptops: I specifically want a handheld because I play with a controller in bed at the end of the day. A laptop doesn't fit my lifestyle.
  • Limited Market: I only have access to Lenovo, Acer, MSI, and the Steam Deck. Boutique brands (GPD, Ayaneo) are not available here.

Which one is the better "Desktop Replacement" while keeping the handheld form factor for late-night sessions? Thanks!
