Nintendo Switch 2 will launch with one of the largest and most welcoming libraries of all time.
The Switch could theoretically become the new baseline for game developers to target, and the most reliable place to find new handheld-friendly titles.
Lenovo revealed it would produce the first authorized third -party handheld to ship with SteamOS instead of Windows .
Lenovo is hedging its SteamOS bet hard, with the Legion Go S in both Windows and SteamOS varieties.
AMD confirmed the Z2 Go is less powerful than the prior-gen Z1 Extreme .
AMD ’s new Z2 line might not be all that different.
AMD 's flagship Z2 Extreme chip should be both more efficient and much more capable.
AMD told me some may offer more performance at the same power and add improved efficiency tweaks.
The Nintendo Switch debuted at $ 299 in 2017 — around $380 in today ’s money — and the OLED version arrived at $ 349 in 2021 .
The only Windows handheld gaming PC I can recommend costs $ 799 , roughly twice the price of an entry-level Steam Deck .
