A lot less grunt for $100 less.
Asus launched the ROG Ally gaming handheld earlier this year as a rival to Valve's Steam Deck.

Best Lenovo Legion Go docks in 2023
Expand the connectivity options of Lenovo's handheld with these docks
Lenovo has jumped into the handheld gaming scene with the Legion Go, the newest competitor to the Asus ROG Ally and Valve's Steam Deck. Since the Legion Go only comes with two USB4 ports, docks are a great way to go if you need to expand the connectivity options of your new handheld console. Docks can also be quite convenient for charging your Legion Go. It's important to note that manufacturers have yet to make docks specifically for the Lenovo Legion Go; however, we can tell from dimensions that, thankfully, many of the docks for the Steam Deck should fit Lenovo's handheld all the same.

Best Lenovo Legion Go power banks in 2023
Grab these power banks to ensure nothing gets in the way of your long gaming sessions
The upcoming Lenovo Legion Go is a pretty exciting device. This Windows-powered handheld gaming device will let you run most PC games on a huge and bright 8.8-inch QHD+ screen. It also sits between its detachable controllers and is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor. It also has a bigger battery compared to the Steam Deck and its alternatives, but that, unfortunately, still won't be enough to keep up with long gaming sessions, especially if you're running more demanding titles. And that's exactly why a portable power bank is almost a must.
The slow and painful death of Xbox Kinect
The Xbox Kinect caused quite a stir when it debuted in 2010, but subsequent versions of the camera failed to make any kind of dent
Back when it was announced in 2009, Microsoft’s Kinect sensor for the Xbox 360 seemed like a worthy rival to Sony’s Move controller and the Wii Remote. Unlike its competitors, Kinect wasn’t just a game controller that could sense your wrist movements; it was a full-blown camera with infrared sensors that was capable of capturing the movements of your entire body. This would enable all kinds of cool ways to interact with games.
How to install and play games from the Epic Games Store on Steam Deck
In addition to Steam, you can also install the Epic Games Store and play games from there on the Valve Steam Deck. Here's how to do it.
The Steam Deck is, of course, a handheld console designed to play games from Steam. But it's also a complete PC, so that means you have options as you do on your PC. Steam has always been able to add games from other sources to your library, and the same applies to the Steam Deck. But what about Epic? How do you play Epic Games Store titles on the Steam Deck?

Although it wasn't the first handheld on the market, Valve's Steam Deck started the whole portable gaming revolution by putting people's Steam library in the palm of their hands. But it's no longer the only player on the field, seeing tough competition from the likes of Asus ROG Ally and, now, the Lenovo Legion Go.

How to run Steam on Linux
Steam has great support for Linux, and here's how to get it on the most popular Linux distros.
For many years, Valve has been focused on making Linux a great operating system for Steam, and suffice to say, it's managed to succeed. It's the default operating system for the Steam Deck, and it can easily run non-native games with the Proton compatibility layer. But you can also get Steam on your Linux PC. However, while Steam can easily be installed on some Linux distros, the process is more obscure on others.

5 reasons why Linux is good for gaming in 2023
Linux may not be the best OS for graphically demanding games, but it has become a lot more accessible over the past years
Windows has long been hailed as the best operating system for gaming, easily beating Linux and macOS when it comes to running the latest graphically-intensive games. But it's not quite as cut and dry these days. Linux gaming has come a long way since the early 2010s when most Windows-based 3D games used to run at drastically reduced framerates on the open-source operating system. In fact, Linux is now a viable platform for gaming, so maybe it's time to give it a shot.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless review: The best gaming headset for a reason
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is the best gaming headset for a reason. It's simply phenomenal
In the world of gaming headsets, there are so, so many to choose from. I see so many options in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene. I know many people who use a HyperX headset and many more who use a regular pair of headphones and a dedicated microphone. I fall into the latter camp and always have (I previously used Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless wired to my PC, for example), but the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless actually managed to change that.
