Looking at buying a handheld PC, and none of the review sites cover OEMs like ayaneo or onexplayer in their head-to-hear breakdowns, so I can't get an idea how those ones compare to the major OEMs.
It's frustrating because those small OEMs are the only ones that support eGPUs
But it's only mildly frustrating because honestly I know my usecase is a bit of an edge case.

Be the change you want to see and review them yourself.

I'm not sure I can justify buying so many handhelds given that reviewing PC/gaming equipment isn't my business.

WulfdenWulffden on YouTube does quite a few reviews of these handhelds, especially niche ones. Might be worth checking out.PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 242d
Ok, I'll give that one a shot too, thanks!

eGPU support doesn't make much sense for a hand held unless you want something like a switch that can be more powerful docked. You can probably get a rough idea of their performance based on comparing specs to more major brands.

Yes, that's exactly why I want an eGPU.
The less popular brands often have better specs, like 64g ram, and also no custom silicone/drivers, and idk how much either of those would affect real-world performance.
But more specifically I'm interested in reviews of the hardware itself. Is it flimsy, is it ergonomic, is it heavy, what is the battery life irl?

Maybe try Retro Game Corps, he focuses more on the retro scene but he covers all sorts of handhelds
