Lenovo is cooking up a handheld gaming PC, and I’m hoping it’s the cheapest Steam Deck competitor yet

The handheld gaming PC scene is blossoming into something beautiful, and Lenovo is reportedly set to join in. We don’t know much about the Windows 11 portable as of yet, other than the fact it’ll use an AMD APU, so it’s hard to tell what the company’s battleplan is. However, there’s a chance it’ll become a true Steam Deck competitor that challenges Valve’s 64GB model on price, and I think that’s exactly what the fledgling market needs right now. 

Lenovo’s rumoured handheld gaming PC will face stiff competition if it actually arrives, as both the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally aren’t the only options out there. Our Ayaneo 2S review takes a look at the premium side of the market, and there are various other companies occupying the price space above Valve’s portable and its Asus rival. There’s a significant lack of anything going on entry-level wise, and it could be a great opportunity for Lenovo to grab an unclaimed realm of players.
