UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, the handheld gaming PC market was essentially just the Steam Deck, with not enough contenders to round out a Top 5 list. However, over the last six months, rarely an issue has passed where we’ve not had one feature in our reviews section. The ability to play your favorite PC games wherever you are clearly appeals to a lot of buyers, but how do you make sure you get the best bang for your buck? By buying one of our picks below, of course.
5AYANEO AIR 1S
Go for the Ayaneo Air 1S because it’s incredibly portable, coming in at just 21.6mm thick and weighing only 450g. You needn’t worry about its inclusion in your luggage if you’re traveling long distances. Its size isn’t at the cost of power, thanks to the beefy AMD Ryzen 7 7840U chip found in the other top-end models on this list. www.ayaneo. com, $799-$1,179 (depending on configuration)
