Not really, though. Those handhelds all have weak GPUs with very limited VRAM and performance. I don’t think there’s a handheld carrying a 4070M out at the moment.
Regardless of if their gpus are weaker, they are absolutely causing the focus on gaming laptops to wane, and wane hard. Why build a high end $2000 laptop that sells 10,000 units when you could make a $600-1000 handheld that sells 250,000 to 3,000,000 units?
I use my deck more than my powerful laptop. Because I can use my PC instead of my laptop and dock my Steam Deck and work wherever I need, instead of my laptop.
Laptops don’t have their place for gaming anymore for most people now.
But my dream laptop came out named Starlite from Star Labs which is small, has a detachable keyboard, can code and write with an stylus and live up to 14h. Like a chromebook or tablet. So idk. Some people would probably still need a Laptop for Blender and stuff on the go.
How was your experience with the Starlite 5? I’ve been looking for a Linux tablet recently and came across this device. I’m just wondering how well it works compared to a normal tablet. I’ve heard it’s underpowered compared to most tablets that price.

It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.
Which handheld has framegen?
But yes I agree, I play that game every weekday on the train on my Steam deck.
For ghost of tsushima, all of them, as it has fsr3 and dlss 3 support.
