If you have not been able to buy the Steam Deck, you can get one of the following portable consoles with Windows that we have decided to collect in this list.
The launch of the Steam portable console has made many people believe that Valve is the first to launch this type of device, and the truth is that this is not the case. Portable consoles with Windows are the order of the day and, in fact, there are many options to choose from other than the new console from the creators of Half Life.
The Steam Deck is a console that was launched at a very interesting price and, is that, for 549 euros in its model with 256 GB you have one of the most powerful consoles of the moment and that offer the possibility of playing any type of computer title in the palm of your hand, but it is not the only one that can offer this.
In fact, there are many more options on the market that are more powerful than Valve’s and, above all, that can be purchased at a general level without having to reserve them first. We have decided to collect several of these options so that you can take a look at it and, above all, know that there is more world apart from the Steam Deck.
Aya Neo 2
The first option that we have found and which we had already talked about is the Aya Neo 2. This console looks directly at the Steam Deck and does not blink, what we find inside is that the processor is the Ryzen 7 6800U that it is capable of offering 3.38 TFLOPS making it have a rather beastly power and worthy of a portable console.
To put this figure in perspective, the Steam Deck sits at 1.6 TFLOPS. In addition, the Aya Neo 2 would have an OLED screen with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. As for RAM, there is a model that integrates up to 16 GB of this type of memory. The launch price will be $1,400..
GPD Win 3
The next console to appear in this list is the GPD Win 3. The name it has is quite strange, but we are dealing with one of the most compact and powerful portable consoles that exist. Also, the most characteristic is the fact that it has a physical keyboard and USB connectivity for expansion.
Inside this console you can find several processors since it will be the user who configures the console at will. The processors that can be chosen are from the 11th generation of Intel with Intel Xe graphics. As for RAM, the amount is 16 GB in DDR4 version and up to 1 TB of NVMe storage. The price is 799 euros.
OneXPlayer
OneXPlayer is the next console to make an appearance. What its name indicates is quite indicative of what awaits us in terms of power and design. This console has models that can integrate both AMD and Intel processors. In the case of opting for Intel, the chosen one would be the i7-1195G7.
Of course, by betting on AMD the range of options increases since they have Ryzen 4800U up to 5700U. The RAM that would accompany them would be 16 GB and the storage can reach up to 1 TB NVMe. The screen is 8.4 inches in size with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution.. The starting price is $999.
Aya Neo Next Advanced
The fourth console is an evolved version of the Aya Neo that we saw at the beginning and, in fact, it can be considered one of the most interesting models in general. What we find inside is an AMD processor, the Ryzen 7 5800U along with the integrated graphics the AMD Radion Vega 8.
In terms of storage or RAM, what we find in this graphics card model is practically the standard of the rest of the models: 16 GB for RAM and it is in storage where it stands out above the rest since it can have up to 2 TB NVMe. Price is $1,465.
pgs hardcore
The latest portable console that can integrate with Windows is the PGS Hardcore. This console will have an interior signed by Intel, although the processors will not be as advanced as those of other consoles that we have seen. In fact, It is the most restrained in terms of benefits if we compare it with the rest of the options that we have seen.
This can be seen in that it only has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It is not designed for the latest generation games, but you can play interesting and more restrained titles. Its screen is not very big since it only has 5.7 inches with QHD resolution. Come on, it is a console designed more for a casual user who is not looking for power at all times.
