How to choose a handheld console
- Processor. A modern mobile APU decides whether a game runs at 30 or 60 fps.
- Display. 7-8 inches, 120 Hz and decent brightness - in your hands smoothness beats resolution.
- Memory and storage. 16 GB RAM is the minimum; a 1 TB SSD holds a couple of big titles at once.
- Battery. 1.5-2 hours in demanding games, considerably more in older titles.
- Operating system. A Windows handheld runs every store - Steam, Epic and Game Pass.
