Based on my hours and hours of experience with several different handheld gaming PCs, I can easily boil down everything I know to three major choices — best budget, best mid-range, and best premium handheld.
If you're willing to spring for it, the Xbox Ally X is my top recommendation of all three, and it happens to be the premium handheld on this list. If you don't need the most powerful handheld and want to save some money, then the Steam Deck LCD is an excellent low-cost option. Meanwhile, Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme, SteamOS) is my mid-range pick, since it doesn't cost as much as some options, and offers a much better screen than Steam Deck (and Hall effect joysticks, too).
