market today. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

Jump To:
 * Pro 1 - There have been a lot of price drops recently
 * Pro 2 - You can play your PC games on the go (or in bed)
 * Pro 3 - There are plenty of options, each with a different focus
 * Pro 4 - Handhelds can function as a full computer (and cost less)
 * Pro 5 - They offer fantastic performance for a portable device
 * Con 1 - We're mid-gen with newer devices around the corner
 * Con 2 - Battery life still isn't great

Black Friday deals are already live, and among them, we're seeing discounts for
various gaming handheld devices. I've tested every major PC gaming handheld on
the market today, and I can tell you that right now is a great time to pick up
one of these portable gaming machines whether it's the Steam Deck, ROG Ally,
Legion Go, Nintendo Switch, or other device.



To help you come to a decision this deal season, I'll go over five reasons why
now is such a good time to buy a handheld and conclude with two reasons why you
might want to hold off a little longer.

PRO 1 - THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PRICE DROPS RECENTLY



Right now is a fantastic time to upgrade to a better gaming handheld or get one
for the first time. (Image credit: Windows Central)

The majority of gaming handhelds on the market right now are at least a year old
and midway through (or near the end of) their generation cycle. This being the
case, most devices can be found selling at a discount rather than at their
launch MSRP, especially during sales events. In our experience, Best Buy usually
has the best gaming handheld deals.



During Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Prime Days, we've seen gaming handhelds
drop in price by $100 or more, making them far more affordable, and the same is
bound to happen again. It's a great time to get your first handheld or upgrade
to a better one.

LATEST VIDEOS FROM windowscentralWindows Central



TRADE-IN OFFER: By the way, from now through December 31, 2024, Best Buy is
offering up to $230 in savings when you trade in your ROG Ally for an ROG Ally
X. More specifically, you'll get a $50 coupon toward your ROG Ally X purchase
and then a gift card up to $180 for your traded-in handheld, depending on the
model and condition it is in. So, that's yet another way for you to get a more
affordable new gaming handheld this year.


WHY YOU SHOULD TRUST ME

WHY YOU SHOULD TRUST ME
Rebecca Spear
Gaming and Tech News Editor

Rebecca was lucky enough to be in the first wave of people who received a Steam
Deck. Since then, she has acquired an ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, Legion Go, and other
gaming handhelds. She's always keen to find the best settings for any games she
plays. Just about every night, you can find her playing on one of these devices.


PRO 2 - YOU CAN PLAY YOUR PC GAMES ON THE GO (OR IN BED)



I brought my ROG Ally X with me on my latest work trip and it entertained me
during the long flight. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

I've been playing PC games since I was a kid in the 90s, which means I have a
rather large library of PC games on various services. The awesome thing with
gaming handhelds is that they allow me to play most of these games anywhere I go
without having to lug around a relatively bulky gaming laptop. It's very
convenient.

As a matter of fact, whenever I go on vacation or take a work trip, my ROG Ally
is one of the first things I pack. It keeps me entertained during road trips, on
long flights, or simply when I have downtime in my hotel room. On the last trip,
I ended up playing Ghost of Tsushima on the first flight and Celeste on the
second. Of course, another perk is that I can comfortably play it every night in
my bed before going to sleep.

HANDHELD RECOMMENDATION: If you mostly only want to play games in your Steam
library, then you might want to get the Steam Deck with its simplified SteamOS
interface. However, if you want a handheld that operates more like a regular
laptop with access to other services like Battle.net, Epic Games, and more (out
of the box), then you should consider ROG Ally or Legion Go.


PRO 3 - THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPTIONS, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT FOCUS



Each gaming handheld stands out in one way or another and could be a good fit
for somone. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

It seems like every few weeks, a new gaming handheld is teased, announced, or
released. The nice thing about the best gaming handhelds on the market is that
they each have different perks, which means they have different use cases. One
person might find the Steam Deck suits them best, while another will prefer the
ROG Ally X. Here are the best handhelds available now and how they stand out
from others.


STEAM DECK IS AFFORDABLE AND EASY TO USE

Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and
comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out
more about how we test.

portable PC gaming craze. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
Valve Steam Deck LCD: at Amazon US

Many people love Steam Deck because it was one of the first PC gaming handhelds
to hit the market and has become the best-selling option. It doesn't have the
best specs, but if a game is Steam Deck verified, it usually runs really well on
this device. Just note that it tops out at 1280x800p and a max 60Hz refresh
rate, so visuals can be pixelated compared to other handhelds. It is the most
affordable PC handheld and has a simplified user interface (Linux-based), which
makes it feel more like you're using a console rather than a PC.

Valve Steam Deck OLED 1TB: at Amazon US

The Steam Deck OLED is basically the same gaming handheld as the base version,
but with a far nicer OLED display that can reach up to a 90Hz refresh rate.
While the resolution is the same, this more expensive option does make game
visuals look a bit more crisp and colorful than the LCD version.

ROG ALLY IS A SMALL WINDOWS 11 GAMING LAPTOP WITH THE BEST PERFORMANCE AND SPECS

gaming handhelds. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
ASUS ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme): at Best Buy

Of the PC gaming handhelds on the market today, ASUS' Z1 Extreme CPU devices are
the most powerful and offer excellent performance, especially if you enable AFMF
and increase VRAM. Regardless of the configuration, these handhelds support VRR
(variable refresh rate), unlike Legion Go, and have better specs than Steam
Deck. They also have 1920x1080 resolution with up to 120Hz. This means games run
smoothly, and there is better motion clarity on the screen than competitors.
Since ROG Ally functions like a Windows 11 gaming laptop, it can also be used
just like a full desktop if you connect the right ROG Ally accessories.

👉 See at: Best Buy | Antonline


ASUS ROG Ally (Z1 Non-Extreme): at Best Buy

The AMD Z1 ROG Ally isn't as powerful as the Z1 Extreme option, but it is more
affordable. If you think your needs will be met with cloud gaming versus locally
downloading and playing games, then this is the Ally handheld configuration to
get.

👉 See at: Best Buy | Antonline


ASUS ROG Ally X: at Best Buy

The ROG Ally X has the same Z1 Extreme CPU as the more powerful base version,
but it has double the battery capacity and double the SSD capacity of the
original device. There are also a number of small improvements to the casing and
joysticks. Just remember that it is a bit thicker than the original Ally, so it
might not fit certain accessories.

LEGION GO IS A WINDOWS 11 HANDHELD WITH A MASSIVE SCREEN AND DETACHABLE
CONTROLLERS



The Legion Go has a built-in kickstand and detachable controllers. One of the
controllers can even be used like a mouse. (Image credit: Daniel Rubino)
Lenovo Legion Go: at Best Buy

Unlike the other 7-inch display handhelds listed here, the Legion Go has a
gorgeous 8.8-inch screen, which feels massive in comparison. It also has the
highest refresh rate of up to 144Hz (ROG Ally is 120Hz, Steam Deck OLED is 90Hz,
Steam Deck LCD is 60Hz). Since it has a built-in kickstand and detachable
controllers (unlike most others on this list), you can play your games with the
device in tabletop mode without putting a lot of strain on your wrists. Plus,
the right controller has an FPS (first-person shooter) mode, which turns it into
more of a mouse, so it's better for playing games that require a lot of mouse
clicks.

AYANEO FLIP DS HAS TWO SCREENS FOR MULTITASKING BETWEEN PROGRAMS

on the second screen. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
AYANEO Flip DS: at indiegogo.com

This handheld manufacturer was making PC gaming handhelds before Steam Deck
released, and they have a wide variety of offerings on the market, including the
AYANEO Flip DS with its dual screens or the AYANEO Slide with its full keyboard.
If you're looking for a niche or unique experience, then AYANEO is the company
to check out.

👉 See at: Indiegogo




MSI CLAW WAS THE FIRST MAIN AI PC GAMING HANDHELD



MSI Claw was the first major AI PC gaming handheld, but it doesn't have the best
performance and it's expensive. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
MSI Claw: at Best Buy

Of the handhelds currently on the market, the MSI Claw is considered to be a big
failure due to its mediocre performance. It also doesn't help that it's more
expensive than many other options, without warranting the cost. However, it does
stand out as one of the first AI PC handhelds available right now. If you want
to get an AI gaming PC, then this is one to consider.

NINTENDO SWITCH IS IDEAL FOR CO-OP MULTIPLAYERS

two-player co-op games wherever you are. (Image credit: Future)
Nintendo Switch : at Best Buy

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the most popular and best-selling gaming
handheld of the last few years. While not intended for playing PC games, the
Switch is a fantastic option for kids or people who want to play exclusive
Nintendo titles. It comes with removable controllers and a docking station so
you can easily play one of the many co-op split-screen games with family or
friends on TV or directly on the handheld.

👉 See at: Best Buy | Walmart | Amazon


Nintendo Switch OLED: at Best Buy

As the name implies, this is the Nintendo Switch but with a much better OLED
display. It still comes with a TV docking station and offers the detachable
controllers that the base device has. Resolution is also the same, but the OLED
screen produces better coloring, produces true black for better contrast, and
makes images look sharper. Since it does have the better screen, this is the
most expensive Switch available now.

👉 See at: Best Buy | Walmart | Amazon

💰 Alternative deal: Nintendo Switch OLED bundle with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
$349.99 at Best Buy


Nintendo Switch Lite: at Best Buy

This most affordable Switch is a handheld-only device. It doesn't have the
internals for connecting to a TV, nor does it have a built-in kickstand or
detachable controllers. However, it can play most Nintendo Switch games and
doesn't take up as much room as other Switch options since it is so small.

PRO 4 - HANDHELDS CAN FUNCTION AS A FULL COMPUTER (AND COST LESS)

Several people have swapped out their computer for a Windows 11 gaming handheld
like the Legion Go or ROG Ally. While handhelds are expensive, they cost less
than gaming laptops and gaming desktops. As long as you have the right
accessories, you can use these devices just like a regular gaming laptop. These
are the core accessories to consider for turning your handheld into your main
PC.

 * Docking station: These nifty peripherals allow you to connect your handheld
   to a monitor. You'll just want to make sure that you get one that offers at
   least a 65W power flow to support the handheld's power consumption needs and
   that the docking station has a USB-C cable that's long enough to reach the
   handheld's port without straining. I highly recommend the JSAUX 6-in-1
   Multifunctional Docking Station since it has a good selection of ports, 100W
   input power, and a cable that's long enough to reach even the tall Legion Go.
 * Monitor: Of course, you're going to need a TV or a monitor to connect your
   gaming handheld to if you don't have one already. If you want suggestions,
   check out our best gaming monitors or our list of the best gaming TVs.

a keyboard and mouse connected. (Image credit: Daniel Rubino)
 * Xbox controller: If you do play your gaming handheld while docked to a
   screen, you might want to consider getting a controller with Bluetooth. There
   are plenty of options, but I personally recommend getting one of the best
   Xbox controllers.
 * Mouse & Keyboard: If you use Bluetooth, a wireless USB-C dongle, or a USB-A
   to USB-C adapter, you can use a mouse and keyboard directly with a handheld
   without needing a dock. Check out our lists of the best PC gaming mouse or
   our list of the best gaming keyboards for suggestions.


PRO 5 - THEY OFFER FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE FOR A PORTABLE DEVICE

settings. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

handhelds. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)


Out of the box, the Steam Deck can play any Steam Deck verified games in your
Steam Library (and even several non-verified ones). Meanwhile, Windows 11
handhelds like ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw are small computers that can
run games on any service including Steam, Epic Games, Battle.net, and more.

While you shouldn't expect the same visual experience as a high-tier gaming
desktop, a gaming handheld can typically play the latest games at respectable
FPS and with good motion clarity. You might just need to tweak some system
settings or game settings before you find the optimal way to play.

PRO TIP: ASUS has specifically made it possible to increase the ROG Ally and ROG
Ally X's performance. If you get one of these devices, I highly recommend you
turn on AFMF and increase VRAM.


CON 1 - WE'RE MID-GEN WITH NEWER DEVICES AROUND THE CORNER



Concept art of what the Nintendo Switch 2 might look like created by Rebecca
Spear. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

The flip side of my initial pro for getting a gaming handheld this Black Friday
is also my first con. We know that Lenovo, ASUS, MSI, Zotac, Acer, and Nintendo
are all planning on releasing new gaming handhelds relatively soon (such as
Legion Go S, ROG Ally 2, MSI AI Claw 2, Zotac Zone, Acer Nitro Blaze 7, and
Nintendo Switch 2).

There might even be options from additional companies that we don't even know
about, like a recently confirmed Xbox handheld (although, that one is a few
years out). If you want to have the latest and greatest options, you might want
to wait until these devices come out and buy one then.

 * RELATED: How to reset and sell Steam Deck | How to reset and sell ROG Ally

That said, we won't know the performance, special features, or price of these
handhelds until they are announced, and there's no telling when they will
actually release. As such, if you really want a gaming handheld, it might be
better to get one of the better-rated ones now. And then decide down the road if
you want to trade it in for a better one.


CON 2 - BATTERY LIFE STILL ISN'T GREAT



You might need to use a battery pack with your gaming handheld. (Image credit:
Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

Just like with gaming laptops, all gaming handhelds have pretty bad battery
life, regardless of which device you're talking about. The Steam Deck is
arguably one of the best in this area and can last two to eight hours, depending
on what game you're playing and what settings are set to.

Meanwhile, the original ROG Ally, Legion Go, MSI Claw, and many AYANEO devices
usually run out of battery between one and four hours, depending on how
intensive a game is. The ROG Ally X is a step up in this regard, with double the
battery capacity of the original Ally, but it will still only last roughly two
hours when on max TDP and playing demanding games.

BATTERY TIP: I get around this issue by either using one of the best handheld
power banks, playing while the handheld is plugged in, or else connecting my
handhelds to a docking station, but if that doesn't sound appealing, then you
might not want a gaming handheld.


I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE WITHOUT MY BELOVED GAMING HANDHELDS



I play my Steam Deck and ROG Ally almost on a daily basis. (Image credit:
Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

One thing is for sure, ever since I got my Steam Deck and then my ROG Ally, I've
been able to play my PC games more comfortably wherever I am.

Most nights, I curly up with my handheld and play the latest titles or my
favorite classics while cozy and in bed. If I want to be near my husband while
he's in the living room, I can play on the couch next to him while he watches a
show or plays on the Xbox Series X. I've even toted my handhelds around the
kitchen while I'm cooking or working on various projects.

One of the best things about having a gaming handheld is that I can entertain
myself while playing everything from indie classics to the latest big titles
while traveling. I've entertained myself by playing games like Ghost of
Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077, and even Baldur's Gate 3 while on airplanes and road
trips. It really is very convenient.

   If one hasn't gotten a switch yet, I would recommend it above mobile windows
   platform.
   I feel most steam deck owners are PC owners, so there's probably a larger
   catalog of Nintendo only games that come with their consoles. I have
   historically only bought my Nintendo consoles to play Zelda tbh. The only
   purchase I might consider is a pocket emulation machine. I have a switch,
   which got me through my unemployed phase, but now it collects dust. It still
   got lots of future hours awaiting me with plenty of games I have yet to
   play... And there are only so many hours in a day.
