iFixit, a seller of repair tools and spare parts, recently released a teardown comparison video of Valve’s Steam Deck OLED and Lenovo Legion Go, providing a detailed internal look at both devices. The company scored the devices for repairability and performance, with the SteamDeck OLED scoring 9/10 and the Lenovo Legion scoring 8/10. Valve says the company intentionally made improvements to the Steam Deck OLED to make it easier to repair on its own, and iFixit agrees. One small detail to note is the metal frame and metal screw posts of the new Steam Deck, which means that the threads are less likely to come off after disassembling the console. The revised version of the original LCD version of Steam Deck has also been improved. On the other hand, Lenovo Legion Go uses a pull tab to remove the battery, which means that the battery can be replaced without the need for a heat gun and a pry tool, while the Steam Deck OLED still uses glue. iFixit also notes that the Legion Go uses Hall-effect sensors, so it should not suffer from stick drift like other controllers and consoles. In comparison, the Steam Deck’s potentiometer rocker is more prone to this problem. iFixit concluded that even though the Steam Deck OLED uses glue batteries, it is still easier to repair than the Legion Go. However, these two game consoles are well designed overall and relatively easy to repair. “Now is a great time to be a handheld console gamer,” iFixit said.
