DS/3DS is only part of equation. Sure, that's their primary appeal, if you don't care for that there are other solutions - but, for me at least, it's that, plus convenience of clamshell design. I'm in situation where I don't get to play much at home and only in brief bursts during the whole day, so I need device that will cover a lot of things, PC games included (those things run lot of lighter Steam games as well, especially given that I have crapload of 2D indie games in my backlog). If I'm honest, AYANEO Flip DS is actually what would serve me the best, being actual dual screen clamshell PC, but that's US$1140 device and that's way too rich for what I need it for. |
I tend to carry my laptop and tablet while I travel, so those bases are covered.
Wouldn't mind getting a Rog Ally X at some point though... Which I might use to replace my laptop with... Got a USB C dock at work so I can turn it into my laptop/desktop workstation.
3DS is just hard to pass up for the dual screen gaming -and- 3D displays, it's a unique device. |
I guess I would probably use laptop if I traveled and needed to game, but this is more like 15-20 minute bursts in taxi, breaks and that kind of things - for which I find small clamshell handheld perfect fit. As I said, one that can also can run lighter PC games from Steam, along with pretty much everything up to and including Switch, is for me just a perfect fit.
If I was in actual market for portables, I would go with GPD Win 5 - I actually like detachable battery design, so you can just swap out another one. OneXPlayer is making 395+ based handheld as well, with detachable liquid cooling no less, which can actually run at up to full 120W...on a battery of 85W, which is pointless, but hey, they're doing it anyway. AYANEO is still to reveal its 395+ based handheld.
