Not really, though. Those handhelds all have weak GPUs with very limited VRAM and performance. I don’t think there’s a handheld carrying a 4070M out at the moment.
Regardless of if their gpus are weaker, they are absolutely causing the focus on gaming laptops to wane, and wane hard. Why build a high end $2000 laptop that sells 10,000 units when you could make a $600-1000 handheld that sells 250,000 to 3,000,000 units?

It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.
Which handheld has framegen?
But yes I agree, I play that game every weekday on the train on my Steam deck.
