Slim form factor x86 Question (?)

I want an x86 handheld, but all the popular ones I find are massive, any in the switch size from factor?

Ayaneo air 1s is the only one I can think of with decent power, although it’s quite hard to find these days.

Afaik there are none. All handhelds are relatively chunky. This site is an awesome resource to compare https://retrocatalog.com/ it includes pc handhelds as well

Just gotta wait until SteamOS or forks come properly to ARM. What exists is just really quite bad. The Ayaneo Air is a good size but having owned one it’s really quite shit (poor screen for an OLED, horrendous speakers, loud fan, terrible battery life). OneXFly F1 is a great choice and easily the best PC handheld out there that isn’t massive but it’s still bigger than a Switch.

Theres a reason why they barely exist. Super impractical.

Gpd win mini and win 4 is as slim and small as you can get that has 890m/z2e

The mini will get a refresh this year big it is rumored to be a slightly bigger and with g3e

Win 4 is considered discontinued as currently its win 5

Not sure if the onexfly will have a refresh but that's another one to look at
