Hi everyone,
I’ve been researching handheld gaming PCs for the last few weeks and I’m still struggling to decide. My main use case is:
Windows gaming
Emulation (PS2, GameCube, Wii U, Switch, PS3 where possible)
Modding PC games
AAA gaming
Docking it to a monitor occasionally
I’m in New Zealand, so these prices are converted to USD for easier comparison (approximate conversions):
Original Lenovo Legion Go (Ryzen Z1 Extreme, 16GB, 512GB) – ~US$600 (NZ$1,000)
Lenovo Legion Go 2 (Ryzen Z2, 32GB, 1TB) – ~US$960 (NZ$1,600)
MSI Claw 8 AI+ (Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB, 1TB) – ~US$960 (NZ$1,600)
Steam Deck OLED – ~US$600 (NZ$1,000)
A few things I’m wondering:
Is the Legion Go 2 worth paying around US$360 more than the original Legion Go?
If the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and Legion Go 2 cost the same, which would you choose and why?
How much better is the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V/Arc 140V in the Claw compared to the Ryzen Z2 in the Legion Go 2 for gaming and emulation?
For people who emulate PS3, Switch, Wii U, etc., which handheld has given you the best overall experience?
If you owned one of these, would you buy the same device again today?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have owned more than one of these devices rather than just watched reviews.

Need advice on what bike I should get as a bigger rider getting into cycling/fixed gear stuff.

I’m 185cm and around 130kg, so durability and wheel strength matter a lot for me. I’m mainly looking for something fun, reliable and cool looking rather than full-on racing.

The bikes I’ve been considering are:

• Tsunami SNM100 $1000 NZD
• GT Pulse Re-Issue Track bike $850 NZD
• BMC Timemachine TMR01 $1200 NZD
• Avanti Pista Pro $800 NZD

I know the BMC is a completely different category, but it came up locally for cheap and got me thinking. Originally I was leaning more toward fixed gear because I really like the simplicity and aesthetics.

The GT Pulse especially caught my attention because of the H+Son / Surly wheel setup and the overall look.

Main concerns:

• I’m a heavier rider so I don’t want fragile wheels
• Want something that won’t feel horrible on normal roads
• Don’t want to buy something that becomes a money pit
• Still want something fun and good-looking

Would you guys go:

• proper fixed gear (GT Pulse / Tsunami / Pista)
• or aero road bike (BMC)

And if fixed gear, which of those would you trust most for a heavier rider?

Any advice appreciated because I’m still pretty new to this side of cycling.
