Asus ROG Ally X
This is a comeback of almost Cyberpunk 2077 proportions. Okay, so maybe the original ROG Ally was better received out of the gate, but it did start to present some serious problems once people started using their device in anger. Serious, broken SD card problems.

The Ally X has been brought in as a mid-season refresh for the device, bringing a host of little changes to the handheld PC that all amount to a really big difference.

Of course the b0rked SD card slot has been fixed, but you also get a much bigger [[link]] battery, a whole lot more memory, and more standardisation over the 1 TB 2280 SSD and the use of a normal USB4 connection instead of the proprietary XGMobile.

The fixes and updates Asus has jammed into the Ally X show how much the company has listened to the feedback around its first handheld PC and taken it to heart. And then produced the finest all-round handheld PC you can buy, and done so at a decent price.

Ayaneo Flip DS
Isn't she pretty? But it isn't just all about the looks, because the Flip DS is far more than just an homage to the classic clamshell Nintendo DS design. Of course the insides are all very familiar, and so is the performance. We are talking about essentially the same Ryzen silicon we've seen in every post-Steam Deck handheld launched.

But what isn't familiar is that second screen baked into its base, and the flip-open lid that means you no longer have to worry about a screen protector and/or a carry case. This thing is small enough, and robust enough, that just tossing it into your bag is all the preparation you need for travelling with it.

And that second screen is immensely useful, either as a touchscreen keyboard, or for keeping tabs on your device's vitals, or for simply using like a standard second monitor for your PC. It really makes using a handheld on Windows a pleasure rather than a chore.

OneXFly F1 Pro
The original OneXFly was one of my favourite small form factor gaming handhelds from the first flush of Ryzen 7 7840U-powered devices. Now it's back, with the most mobile powerful AMD chip available today, making it one of the most desirable handhelds around.

The use of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is undoubtedly the part that's causing the biggest stir, as the first handheld to be released sporting the AMD silicon. But OneXPlayer has also given it a bit of a spruce up elsewhere, too, giving it a mega-bright 1080p, 144 Hz OLED display to put a bow on top of the beautifully designed package.

When propped up by the twin pillars of upscaling and frame generation, the F1 Pro is able to deliver stellar gaming performance, beyond that of its contemporaries, at just 15 W. Which is good, because the 48.5 Wh battery is its biggest disappointment. As is its sky-high pricing.
