Until more recently when they started getting competion, what other handheld gaming PCs even existed?
There’s been a handful but nothing I could name off the top of my head and the specs meant anything more impressive than Super Meat Boy might be out of the question.
Just cheap crappy Windows 8 tablets for the most part, with controller buttons tacked on.
there’s always handheld gaming pcs bring released and going nowhere. the current generation includes the rog Ally and the Lenovo legion.
if you don’t follow this stuff religiously you’ve probably never heard of them, but they are out there. it’s just that no one really buys them.
the steam deck is the first successful one, but companies have been trying to make something like this for years.
The first one I had was a GPD Win 2, in like 2018/2019-ish. You could do some fairly recent 3D stuff on it at the time, but it was better for 2D games.

GPDwin for example?
I always wanted a mini laptop basically as big as my current phone but actually mobile.
Sadly I didnt have enough F-U money :(
