Total agreement.

It sucks when a device category dies and disappears. Most people might not care, but those who do really do, and it sucks when you can’t upgrade to what you want anymore.

I’m not a handheld guy, but for me, it’s phones with keyboards.

So if there’s somebody making boutique devices for niche audiences, more power to them!

Handheld gaming PCs are really not necessary devices, so if you can’t afford a high-end one, get a cheap one. And if you can’t afford that, stick a gamepad on your phone and boot up a switch emulator or winlator.

Leave people their niche hobbies!
