There Are Too Many Handheld Gaming PCs To Choose From Now

Since the Steam Deck solidified handheld gaming PCs as a category, alternatives from Ayaneo, ROG, PowKiddy, and Lenovo have flooded the space with a raft of options. Competition and device choice has become oversaturation.

    Imagine competition being a bad thing. Is anyone complaining that there are too many laptop choices?

    Steam opening SteamOS to other handhelds would be huge, though. Windows is painful.

      There’s too many cars. Wouldn’t we be happier if everyone drove a Ford?!?

      There are SteamOS-like alternatives for other handhelds though, like ChimeraOS and Bazzite, and in many ways they even work better (due to faster updates, more software/frontend options etc).

      I mean it is tho. It’s just not easy to get working when your system uses Nvidia graphics.

        No handheld uses Nvidia.

            Which obviously can’t install SteamOS…

        So the handhelds that aren’t on par with Steam Deck don’t pan out? Competition is still good.
