I bet someone will counter saying it isn't truly portable since you can't fit in your pocket.

Um. PC Comes in pocket sizes.


And unlike the Switch you can play games like Doom at 60fps.

I was thinking about getting a GPD Win 2 (PC handheld with m3-7y30 / Intel HD 615) or a Microsoft Surface Go (PC tablet with Pentium Gold 4415Y / Intel HD 615). I even had the 8GB-version of the Microsoft Surface Go on pre-order for €100 less than MSRP.

But in the end I decided to go with the Raven Ridge notebook as portable PC. Sure, it is 1 kg heavier than the other two devices and a lot bigger, but for the genres I prefer outside home it seemed much better suited: point&click adventures, Civilization V + VI, Pillars of Eternity 1 + 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Divinity: Original Sins 1 + 2, XCOM 1 + 2, Bard's Tale 4, Wasteland 2 and similar games profit from every inch display size.

Both CPU and GPU part are also a lot faster (twice the cores, twice the threads, higher clocking) and I can install a lot more games (it has a 1 TB HDD additional to the SSD).

For other use case scenarios the handheld or the tablet may be better... but I already have a lot of handhelds and tablets for the other stuff.
