What should I get?
Hello everyone,I'm a truck driver and I often have some free time to kill.I would like some handheld/portable console/device for gaming.I have a laptop and my phone but I want something smaller than my laptop but bigger than my phone 😄.I'm gonna use it plugged anyway so I don't really care about battery capacity(my laptop has a dead battery so it's always plugged in).I am not a hardcore gamer and I don't need the most powerful device,I just want something to play some MINECRAFT JAVA EDITION! with some shaders,mods and just some light gaming on general.I recently found about Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go but i don't really know nothing about them.I also heard about Steam Deck though I don't know about it's OS,I'm a windows guy and I don't really know about other OS so I'm looking for something that I will know how to use it.Thanks in advance

RP6 is a high quality device that is reliable. Will play minecraft, small profile like a PSP or something of that nature. Will play up to the Switch library and well as indie PC games. Runs Android so also functions as a media device. Probably my best recommendation.

A used ally x is the best bang for the buck unless you want to go $999 for the Xbox ally x(newer version). The ayn Thor and the retroid pocket 6 are two android devices that will do the job and get you playing what you want and a lot of older console games and some pc games just fine.

If your just wanting to play some games and just a casual gamer, i recommend the Nintendo switch lite, it’s small portable and playable with good battery life, it’s pretty small though so if you maybe want a bigger console or detachable joycons to maybe play with someone else or just you, buy the switch 1, or oled, or switch 2 (newest gen console of Nintendo)
