"Handheld gaming PCs have been enjoying a surge in popularity over the last few years. The Steam Deck was the device that truly opened the floodgates, proving that a near-full PC gaming experience could be packed into a portable form. Not long after, other handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and the Asus ROG Ally started popping up, giving players even more options. These systems are undeniably convenient and surprisingly powerful for their size,"
"This configuration of the TUF F16 is powered by an Intel Core 5 210H processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce 4050 laptop GPU and 8GB of RAM. If you want something a bit better than that, the 2025 model is also on sale. That one comes with and Intel Core i5 13450HX processor and the NVIDIA GeForce 5050 laptop GPU with16GB of RAM. This one is $300 off, bringing the price down from $1,300 to just an even $1,000."
Handheld gaming PCs surged after the Steam Deck demonstrated that a near-full PC gaming experience can be portable, and devices like the Lenovo Legion Go and Asus ROG Ally expanded options. These handhelds are convenient and powerful for their size but remain narrowly focused on gaming and lack broad productivity capabilities. Traditional gaming laptops better serve users who need workload handling, web browsing, content consumption, and gaming in one machine. Amazon is discounting the Asus TUF F16 models: a 2024 configuration with an Intel Core i5-series CPU, GeForce 4050 GPU, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD drops to $800. A higher-end 2025 variant with a stronger i5 CPU, GeForce 5050 GPU, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD is $1,000.
