What to think about when using handheld devices
I'm focusing on finding a portable option that fits your needs. You mentioned needing a device for travel with long battery life, so I'll prioritize that. The Steam Deck 512GB OLED seems like a solid choice right now. Ally X is also worth considering, but its higher cost makes it less appealing compared to the current price point. Think about other factors like software support and performance if you decide to go down that path. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Right at the front of my mind were the hardware details, especially how the Steam Deck compares to other devices, including its unofficial third-party add-ons like Gulikit. The initial impression from the review was that the setup felt unstable, with the controller buttons being less responsive than expected.
Steam Deck 512 OLED is amazing. We're enjoying titles from New World to Palia to Enshrouded on it. It works great not just on the device but also with a 55-inch TV. I'm sure the games you play should work through Steam or Proton. If you require Windows, I think there are possible solutions, though I haven't tried them yet. I really like the Steam Deck and was pleasantly surprised by its versatility in handling both AAA and indie titles.
