What to look for in handheld gaming PCs

1. Performance and Hardware

Look at the processor (CPU), graphics card (GPU), RAM, and storage capacity. Higher specs allow for smoother gameplay and support for more demanding titles.

2. Display Quality

Screen size, resolution, and refresh rate impact your visual experience. Opt for a bright, high-resolution display with a fast refresh rate for immersive gaming on the go.

3. Battery Life

Gaming can drain batteries quickly, so consider devices with longer battery life or fast-charging capabilities to maximize playtime between charges.

4. Portability and Ergonomics

Check the size, weight, and comfort of the device, especially if you plan to game for extended periods or travel frequently. Ergonomic controls make a big difference in long-term comfort.
