Yes, I will call you crazy and say that you're missing a LOT of things.

A tablet+bluetooth for joysticks and controls is not the same as a full handheld device.

This is a complete device that you can pick up and play with, then put away. It is EXTREMELY more portable.

Why would you want to hack together something and then use a TV or a monitor to display it? The whole point is that it's portable and compact.

This isn't a solution to replace PC gaming or console gaming. So you need to stop looking it through that type of lens.

I think this is the best deal you should get if you are really interested in Handheld. I tried Ally X, Legion Go, both don't feel right on my hands, ergonomic is not good, and Ally X screen is also too small for my like. Legion Go S, is right on the spot, feels great on my hands, and display size is just right. The SteamOS is WAY EASIER to use than Windows (I did not try the Xbox version yet though)

I just wanted to add that my open box excellent was in fact perfect condition. So glad I got in before they raised the price on it, too.

My open box - excellent was also in perfect condition. It's such a steal for ~$420 after the 20% Paypal deal. I have an order in the queue for the Legion Go 2 in December but as nice as it is, I can't justify spending almost $1000 more for OLED on that model.

Got my open box excellent delivered and... it's new. Sealed and not a single sign of it ever being opened. Not even fingerprints. Amazing deal!

Was hesitant but ordered an Excellent condition shipped hoping it would come out alright. Just got it and lucked out and they sent me a brand new unit - Lenovo sealed with original firmware (with Xbox logos) Thanks OP!

Got this for my birthday last month for full price, $900 plus tax. It's worth it.

My only complaint is that the RAM stays at 512MB even when choosing Auto or 16GB. Waiting for Lenovo to fix that.
Regardless, it works fantastic.
You must must must get Lossless Scaling app from Steam for about $8.
If you don't know what that is, Google it. For handhelds it's just a must.

This one? It's on sale

Where do you see the PayPal rewards? I activated the 20% promo and did the 4 payment installment plan but I don't see the discount or rewards applied anywhere

I have had one of these a few months and love it. The Z1E is a nice upgrade over the standard Steam Deck and Steam OS is a dream to use compared to Windows. Very easy to use with games from GOG and Epic. Xbox is out though accept for streaming through the cloud.
How do you play Epic games thought Steam OS?

Also this deal might be dead because I'm not seeing Open Box options available anymore

I assume it will be a refund after all 4 payments are made

Heroic Games Launcher is the popular method I've heard of.

open box fair from $491. Let's hope it's actually good. Best Buy clearly does not grade the item quality at all. Total diceroll, the actual item quality does not match condition listed
Is the paypal 20% cb online or in store only?
