When Asus introduced the ROG Xbox Ally X20 in June, the company said the handheld gaming PC with a 7.4 inch OLED display would only be available as a bundle with a pair of AR glasses. Now Asus says a standalone option may be coming. https://www.theverge.com/games/965123/asus-rog-xbox-ally-x20-oled-preview #Asus #AsusROGAllyX20 #ROGAllyX20 #HandheldGamingPC

The Steam Deck is back in stock, but it now sells for $789 and up after a massive price hike (Update: sold out again)

Valve’s Steam Deck has been one of the most popular handheld gaming PCs since it first launched more than four years ago thanks to a combination of well designed hardware and software combined with an affordable price tag.

But rising prices for RAM and storage have messed up that formula. The Steam Deck has been out of stock for much of 2026 and the good news is that Valve says it’s now back […]

Lenovo Legion Go Fold concept may be the strangest handheld gaming PC to date (but that’s not all it is)

As expected, Lenovo unveiled a wild concept device at Mobile World Congress this week called the Lenovo Legion Go Fold. As the name suggests, this is a portable computer that you can use as a handheld gaming PC like other members of the Legion Go family.

With a […]

Lilbits: ChromeOS isn’t dead (yet), Amazon blocks installation of Fire TV apps used for piracy

The Steam Deck LCD has been discontinued, making the Steam Deck 512GB OLED the new entry-level option

Since Steam Deck OLED prices start at $549, that meant that customers looking for a cheaper option could continue to opt for a reasonably well-specced Steam Deck LCD […]

Lilbits: Samsung Exynos 2600, Lenovo Legion Go 2 with SteamOS and a mini ITX board with up to 256GB RAM
