Choosing a Gaming Handheld
A gaming handheld is a fairly generic term covering a range of uses and devices. But they play some form of games on a portable device. This can for example be the latest AAA blockbuster game, older Windows and DOS games, and even consoles and computers via emulation.

It has great performance, supporting many retro consoles up to more recent systems.
