I encountered 28 pages of questions when filling out the seven-minute survey.

It started out with the usual base demographic info, asking for my age and gender.

Here’s where the questions really started diving into gaming handhelds.

After this barrage of questions, I was asked to write about my personal gaming handheld story.

What had motivated me to buy a handheld gaming PC?

Just my general tech nerdiness, really.

Where did I go to learn info about the gear I eventually bought?

Needless to say, I ended up writing three to four decently long paragraphs explaining myself.

The questions that followed after this, seemed to be targeted at getting detailed information about my personal experience.

Do I identify as a gamer?

ROG Ally and Legion Go.

ROG Ally and Legion Go are excellent Windows gaming handhelds.

I always feel like such a poser when answering that question… but yeah, I guess so.

What do I specifically call my gaming handheld?

I call them by their names, of course Jim, Timmy, and Bob.

But seriously, I just call them ROG Ally, Steam Deck, and Legion Go.

For me, each gadget honestly just serves different needs and I use them pretty equally.

My answer not really, I use all three devices for different reasons.

Fallout 4 on ROG Ally.

I love my Steam Deck, but ROG Ally is my gaming handheld of choice.

What a loaded question, right?

We definitely seem to be in a bit of down in terms of console exclusives.

I basically decided to say my opinion was still the same.
