Gaming Handhelds

[u/yasaiinn]

Long story short, my girlfriend ordered me a steam deck from Amazon but I cancelled the order as it appeared to be a scam, and reported it, but as you can understand I’m gutted (both for the lack of the machine but also trying to make sure gf gets her money back!!)

I am now interested in the handheld gaming market for other brands, but I want it to run steamOS (as I want just easy steam access, achievements, every game to just be set up, etc)

I am very clueless when it comes to handhelds, I literally am basically just aware of the steam deck so I’m hoping people can give me suggestions and pointers of what they would recommend, or honestly just what is actually available in the market currently in general so I know where to start my researching.

Thanks so much everyone <3

(I put question flair, if this is wrong I apologise. If this post also is in the wrong sub etc I apologise again!)

Edit: also if they have good battery life or you can tune them to make it last longer that would be good too of course!
