3 Portable Gaming Consoles that Make sense!

The Nintendo Switch

Amazon Price: $349.99

Is everyone saying this is the most seen item in the USA. You’d probably seen it at parks or on long car rides. This isn’t nothing new when it comes to keeping someone occupied when there’s nothing to do. It has also been the most Go-to gadget of the last 6 years. It came out March 3, 2017 and has been something people grab because of the price and portability of games that you can bring along with you. Nintendo has so many different varieties of games to choice that it can allow any gamer to find a game that they can play on the go. This isn’t one to say that the graphics or speed of the Switch is anything to do with the price.   It’s been a staple for Christmas gifts that you almost have to know that someone is bound to get it for Christmas.   You’d have a hard time not saying this isn’t a good gift for people always on the go or in airports, or those who are traveling.  The price alone makes it a very good gift for anyone who loves to game.   The only draw back I see from this is that it hasn’t changed much over the years and it could be said it isn’t the newest portable gaming.

Specs:

  • CPU/GPU — NVIDIA Custom Tegra processor

Storage:

  • 64 GB Users can easily expand storage space using microSDHC or microSDXC cards up to 2TB (sold separately)

Video Output:

  • Up to 1080p via HDMI in TV mode
  • Up to 720p via built-in screen in Tabletop mode and Handheld modes

Steam Deck

Steam Price: 399$ up to 649$

In My eyes, this seems the next thing to become better than the Nintendo switch.  However, this is just a theory of mine.  I think the Steam could make it even harder for competitors to just not innovate and this will definitely bring in more people to challenge the competition.  Now it goes without saying that this isn’t anywhere like the switch because the graphics looks to be way better and more .   Some of the more pressing questions we should ask are “Will we see more titles come to the Steam deck?”  If they can pull this off the steam could be a good Mid Level gaming  for those who like a good intense gaming sessions.  I don’t know about the anything other than what I’ve seen but I do think this will make it’s way into the public in due to time.   I would love to test this out and have reserved mine.  So only time will tell, it however looks to be very user friendly and allows you to fix your own without much help.

Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld

Amazon Price 349.99$

This one looks to require Wi-Fi but it still is a good idea and a good price.   It has a Nvidia gpu so that will make it even better with graphics.   I don’t know  about the small screen which is 7 inches and that is just the beginning.   The idea that you can go anywhere with a WIFI and be able to play your games seems a bit to constrained but maybe that’s just because most people aren’t always around some place that has Wi-Fi.  I just point this out that some people have said this is a weak gaming terminal, I tend to think they may be right but I at least wanted to bring to you a contender to the Nintendo Switch or even the Steam deck.   There are plenty of people talking about this but It at least comes with some interesting specs:

Specs: 

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (SD720G)
  • Octa-core CPU up to 2.3GHz

Display

  • Resolution: 1920 x 1080 FHD (16:9 ratio)
  • Type: IPS LCD
  • Brightness: 450 nits typical
  • Display Size: 7″ diagonal

OPERATING SYSTEM

  • Android™ 11, with Google Mobile Service

Which one are you likely to get and why?  Why not leave a comment and tell me your thoughts. I’d love to hear what people have to say which one is better or worse?   Got any idea’s of what I should talk about why not leave me a comment and tell me.
