Gaming handhelds are supposed to fit in your hands, but AMD's new Strix Halo processors generate serious heat and drain batteries faster than you can finish a boss fight. The GPD Win 5 and OneXFly Apex responded by strapping external battery packs to their backs, which works, but looks like your handheld is wearing a fanny pack in the wrong spot. It's practical but awkward, and it raises an obvious question: if you're adding external batteries anyway, why not just make the whole device bigger?
