There's only two I'd recommend, Steam Deck, and AYN Odin 2. The windows handhelds are worthless battery hogs, and a terrible OS for handheld. The android handhelds are garbage with anything less than snapdragon. There's some acceptable dimensity 1200 ones, but the Odin 2 is a gen2 and cheaper. I'm not even sure if Steam Deck is worth OLED, no hall effect or freesync, and the power savings are cheating. The original Deck used more power than the limit, while OLED uses the exact limit, so they're lying through omission. OLED is also a cost saving edition with some things made cheaper, while "improved" in other ways, so it's not a total win, and the power savings are a numbers game, but you DO get a bigger battery, which was rather small on the original. I found 45 FPS to be a reasonable compromise on the original. Meanwhile, there's linux support on ARM, with x86 emulation, which if done right, could be a steam deck on ARM. That said, the actual Deck has superior support and controls, can slap on a battery pack. Also, if you go tablet, there's a tablet that does 3D like the 3DS. Lots of choices, not like the old days of nothing good. Nintendo has hacked switch mods, switch 2 could come out 2024, while you can emulate switch on the odin2. shrug
