Side note

If you're looking for a cheaper option to get into the x86 handheld gaming sphere, there's also the Loki Zero that's apparently available for preorder. Only $249. It's the absolute cheapest new x86 gaming handheld I think you can get right now. It's using an Athlon Silver 3050e for its main processor and GPU, so I wouldn't expect many, if any, triple A titles to run on it without some serious compromises in graphical fidelity and/or framerate. I still love that this thing will exist.
