Here are some things to consider. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":682} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":682,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":218,\"nextBlockCount\":502,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1184} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":1,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":1,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":1,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> First, you must figure out a budget. Handheld gaming PCs run the gamut from a few hundred bucks to over $1,000\u2014and if you don&#8217;t establish a spending limit upfront, it can be easy to let it creep out of control as you see what&#8217;s available in higher price brackets. If you&#8217;re a PC gamer looking for something reliable with enough juice to power some of today&#8217;s hottest games, expect to spend at least $600. Of course, the more you raise your budget, the more power you&#8217;ll get. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":284} --><\/p>\n<p> Portability is another big factor to consider. While everything in the &#8220;handheld gaming PC&#8221; category is technically a handheld device, some of them are teetering on the edge of &#8220;portable.&#8221; While many handheld PCs are remarkably slim and easy to stow away in a backpack or suitcase, some are slightly larger than the popular Nintendo Switch. Also, keep in mind that portability often comes at the expense of power. It&#8217;s not easy to cram an entire gaming PC into such a small space, and the products that do usually carry a hefty price tag. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":848} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":848,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":52,\"nextBlockCount\":461,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1309} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":2,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":2,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":2,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> Before purchasing, you&#8217;ll also want to determine which games the handheld PC can play. This means what its specifications allow it to play and what the operating system allows it to play. It&#8217;s one thing to have the power to play a certain game, but another if your device supports it. Some handhelds restrict you to games listed on specific storefronts. As a result, running other games requires several workarounds (or they&#8217;re simply unplayable). <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":409} --><\/p>\n<p> If you have a few favorite games you want to play on your handheld PC, be sure to spend a few minutes researching whether they&#8217;re accessible on your prospective device. There&#8217;s no point in picking something up if you can&#8217;t play your personal favorites. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":3,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":3,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":3,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":675} --><\/p>\n<p> While plenty of great handheld gaming PCs are on the market, some stand above the competition.

You\u2019re also getting the best screen on the market with proper HDR support and 90Hz refresh rate. There is also married to one of the longest-lasting batteries on any handheld gaming PC that can break the magical 2-hour barrier when playing games at the Deck\u2019s max settings. Further, considering that the OLED version packs the same dimensions as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/steamdeck\">the original LCD model<\/a>, you\u2019re also getting a device that already has a ton of cool accessories to choose from. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":5,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":5,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":5,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":603} --><\/p>\n<p> You\u2019ve also got superb build quality, up to 1TB of fast internal storage, a high-end carrying case that comes bundled with each Deck, an impressive game library, attractive design, excellent ergonomics, capable speakers, and fast and stable Wi-Fi 6E chip that\u2019s a massive upgrade over the OG Deck\u2019s often problematic Wi-Fi 5 solution. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":5,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":5,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":5,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":957} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":5,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> SteamOS was and still is a game changer, well suited for both people who want to play some games and for advanced users who want to get the most out of their Deck. If you want to play Steam games, you can do it without ever leaving the controller-friendly Game Mode. The interface is snappy enough and makes it simple to download and play Steam games with no fuss, even separating the Steam Deck friendly title into its own section. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":434} --><\/p>\n<p> On top of that, there is the Desktop Mode that turns the Deck into a regular Linux PC with just a few clicks, allowing you to add games from other launchers, install EmuDeck and turn your Deck into an emulation powerhouse, or just use your Deck for work-related purposes. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":707} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":707,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":193,\"nextBlockCount\":413,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1120} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":7,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":7,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> If we had to pick a downside, it would be gaming performance.

While it\u2019s no longer the company&#8217;s flagship handheld PC, you can bet Valve will support the OG Deck in years to come. Since the OLED and LCD versions share the same APU, every software update arriving to the OLED version will also find its way to the LCD model. I\u2019ve been using my Steam Deck LCD for almost a year now, and the number of software updates, bug fixes, and improvements my Deck has gotten in that time is astounding. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":8,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":8,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":8,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1091} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":8,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> Talking about negatives, there\u2019s the screen that on its own isn\u2019t that bad, but it pales in comparison to the Steam Deck OLED. The fan can also get quite loud at max power, and the Steam Deck LCD isn\u2019t the best option for playing the newest AAA games. The wireless chip found in the Steam Deck OLED is yet another point of contention due to its poor performance and connection issues. Finally, the thumbsticks have zero grip and beg for grippy, silicone thumbstick covers. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":492} --><\/p>\n<p> Regarding alternatives, the ASUS ROG Ally that packs the regular Z1 APU costs about the same as the Steam Deck LCD but packs a much weaker iGPU. That said, if you\u2019re interested in streaming games over the internet and locally from your PC, the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 can be a solid choice due to its Wi-Fi 6E support miles ahead of the Steam Deck

--><\/p>\n<p> While the ASUS ROG Ally was marred with software bugs and other teething pains back when it came out, I can say that ASUS did a praiseworthy job of taking care of most software-related issues as well as adding a ton of new features to the Ally. Since July 2023, we\u2019ve gotten numerous BIOS updates that improved gaming performance and many new features that found their way to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rog.asus.com\/us\/armoury-crate\/\">Armory Crate<\/a>, the main game launcher and customization center on the Ally. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":245} --><\/p>\n<p> These updates include gyro support, the option to turn off CPU boost and decrease thermals and power usage when gaming, and new system info overlays. ASUS also added various bits of info to the Command Center\u2014a quick menu for activating various options while gaming with battery info, a clock, and the option to exit any app or game with a press of a button. There is also support for a 900p resolution, which is a perfect middle ground between 1080p and 720p, retaining most of the crispness of 1080p while markedly improving game performance. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":797} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":797,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":103,\"nextBlockCount\":445,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1242} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":11,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":11,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":11,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> Aside from a slew of new features, Armory Crate has also received numerous updates that massively improved its performance and transformed it into a great game launcher. Right now, my ROG Ally is a joy to use for gaming. Using the ROG Ally as a regular Windows device is still finicky and frustrating sometimes without a mouse and a keyboard. The lack of a trackpad hurts here since Windows 11 isn&#8217;t well suited for the lack of a trackpad. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":342} --><\/p>\n<p> Aside from the commendable pace of software updates that noticeably improved the overall user experience, you\u2019ve also got the good stuff that has been there since its release. This includes impressive build quality and best-in-class ergonomics that allow you to game on the Ally for hours on end without straining your wrists. The device also has a superb screen that, while not as good as the OLED panel on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/steamdeck\">new Steam Deck<\/a>, packs 120Hz refresh rate, VRR support, excellent maximum brightness, striking motion clarity, and vibrant colors. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":891} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":891,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":9,\"nextBlockCount\":624,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1515} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":12,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":12,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":13,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":13,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":12,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> There\u2019s also the Z1 Extreme APU that offers much higher gaming performance compared to the two Steam Deck variants. While not quite powerful enough to run the most demanding titles at 1080p with playable frame rates, you can get much better performance in those titles on the ROG Ally than on Steam Deck if you drop the resolution to 900p or 720p. For example, my ROG Ally runs <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> at almost locked 40fps with medium\/high settings and XeSS upscaling set to 900p, which is nothing short of impressive. The device is also a proper emulation powerhouse thanks to the beastly eight-core CPU in the Z1 Extreme. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":13,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":13,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":13,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":615} --><\/p>\n<p> On the other hand, the ASUS ROG Ally has its share of drawbacks. The biggest one is the weak battery that, at max power levels, gives you less than an hour of playtime. The ASUS ROG Ally\u2019s SD card slot is prone to malfunctioning, and despite recent revisions that placed a heat shield over the SD card reader assembly, the issue remains. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":13,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":13,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":13,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":960} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":13,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> Still, at its current price of $600, the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is by far the best Windows 11 handheld PC you can get. The main alternative here is the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/steamdeck\">Steam Deck OLED<\/a>, which could be a better choice if you don\u2019t play the latest AAA games. Talking about Windows-based devices, the Lenovo Legion Go looks like a decent alternative, but the undercooked software, massive size, and much worse ergonomics put it behind the ASUS ROG Ally. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":14,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":14,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":14,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":443} --><\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card scroll-offset tag small active-content \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"bcdb-4a3f-a1e0ef62f6d5\">\n<div class=\"w-img \">\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-square\">\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"ASUS ROG Ally\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1725329453_90_The-Best-Handheld-Gaming-PCs-of-2024.png\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1725329453_90_The-Best-Handheld-Gaming-PCs-of-2024.png?resize=1200%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"height:auto;max-width:100%\" title=\"\">  <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<div class=\"display-card-badge-custom\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-field=\"badge-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwriterz.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1725329455_241_The-Best-Handheld-Gaming-PCs-of-2024.png?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"height:auto;max-width:100%\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"> <\/div>\n<p><span>Best Handheld Gaming PC Running Windows 11<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"> ASUS ROG Ally With AMD Z1 Extreme Processor <\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-description\">The ASUS ROG Ally is the best handheld gaming PC running Windows 11;

This compact, Windows-based, sliding handheld offers plenty of gaming performance, a pretty good screen, and a neat physical keyboard. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":18,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":18,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":18,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":985} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":19,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":19,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":18,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> Performance-wise, the GPD WIN 4 7840U edition packs the same punch as most other Ryzen 7840U and Z1 Extreme handhelds. In other words, there\u2019s plenty of power to run virtually every current game at playable frame rates at 1080p, 900p, or 720p, depending on the specific title. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":19,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":19,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":19,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":284} --><\/p>\n<p> The PS Vita-like design looks as slick as in 2011 when the Vita came out, with a 6-inch 1080p screen at the heart that reveals a compact physical keyboard once slid upwards. The keyboard features a 65% design with dedicated arrow keys and FN keys available as secondary functions of the number row. Overall, the keyboard is comfortable and is much better than virtual keyboards in most other handheld gaming PCs. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":19,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":19,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":19,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":698} --><\/p>\n<p> Despite its compact design, the GPD WIN 4 is thick and heavy. At just under 600 grams, it is about as heavy as the ROG Ally while being noticeably smaller, resulting in great ergonomics, especially when gaming while lying down. The smaller size didn\u2019t harm the thermals and maximum power envelope, with the GPD WIN 4 maxing out at 35W of power. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":19,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":19,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":19,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1050} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":20,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":20,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":19,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> Other stuff we like about the GPD WIN 4 7840U edition include surprisingly loud speakers, an Oculink port allowing you to connect any external GPU to the device, and two USB-C ports, one on the bottom for easily charging the device while gaming. Another major plus is the tiny optical trackpad on the lower right side that massively improves the experience of navigating Windows. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":20,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":20,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":20,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":381} --><\/p>\n<p> On the other hand, there\u2019s the average battery life, concave thumbsticks lacking grip, and a barebones software control center that is useful but not on par with what you get on most other handheld gaming PCs. Additionally, there&#8217;s the high price, questionable warranty, and long-term software support. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":20,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":20,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":20,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":695} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":695,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":205,\"nextBlockCount\":459,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1154} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":20,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":20,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":20,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":21,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":21,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":20,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> Regarding alternatives, there\u2019s the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gpd.hk\/gpdwinminisdfewr\">GPD Win Mini<\/a>, a newly released clamshell-style handheld with an even better keyboard but is also very hard to get at the moment.
