I personally would rather something about the same size as the PS Vita or Nintendo Switch Lite.

I do like the design of this, do you know what it is?:

It’s a GPD Win 5. Says so in the photo itself.

Thank you. I wouldn’t have known that it was the product’s name. Shame it is a Windows device.

Well, Bazzite exists. And SteamOS can now officially be put on other hardware as well. SteamOS needs a certain kind of SSD though. So I’d look into whether this device has the correct kind before thinking about that. It’s popular enough that surely someone out there has a review of how well it works with SteamOS and/or Bazzite.

You know what? The future is probably not PC handhelds then. Android is having its own sideloading issues but the real difference between an android based handheld and the premium PC ones is the ability to play AAA games and stuff with anti cheat but i personally… Dont really care to play those games these days. They suck.

We now have steam for android emulators and Valve is working on their own.
Have you seen what $200 will get you in that space? The Anbernic RG556 has an AMOLED screen and then all the functional usefulness of an android 13 phone. With hall effect sticks and triggers attached.

If we want small lighter devices we need small lighter games and to push studios to make them if they want to sell to us.
