What handheld tech do you own?

[simon]

So my suspicion is we have a pretty big overlap between r1 owners and people who love portable tech in general. I know I’m in that camp!

I know portable tech is a pretty broad category, but I guess I’m thinking of handheld devices that aren’t a smartphone or a traditional camera. So what do you all have?

Some things I have:

My OG, Atomic Purple Game Boy Color (currently dead, needs a board cleanup)
PSP in White
PS Vita
PS Portal
2 x Nintendo Switch (regular and Tears of The Kingdom OLED special edition)
Game Boy Advance (modded with custom shell and better screen)
3DS XL, Zelda Link Between Worlds Edition
DJI Pocket 2 gimbal cam

There’s probably more but that’s all I can think of right now!

Sadly, not much handheld these days.
I still have a switch, but haven’t used it in years.
The only handheld thing I do use is my evercade exp.

1. Gameboy Color

3. DS Lite
4. DSi
5. PSP in Red

Love this and totally makes sense based on the types I keep seeing with the r1. I love little tech items and after doing some travel recenlly, I realize I still have so much. I just love gadgets and want to get a more portable digital camera beyond my phone. I have a DSLR but that’s too bulky to take around.

• Macbook
• Amazon Fire
• r1
• Steam Deck
• Switch
• Backbone for iPhone

Lets see, growing up I had

Nintendo DS Lite
PS Vita (which i still owned but lost recently )

But after my first smartphone I just kept to that haha

[nipahc]

right now the Switch, Some Rasberry pi, Tablet, all the Gameboys, OG, Advance, SP, Several 3DS, 2DS…

I have the M1 coming, Have the Flipper Zero…

In past I loved the PDA times, quick notes on the goal, some others like an Ultra Poratable Mobile PC (UMPC) - which pretty much was a Windows Pipboy.

Oh, I love portables! Especially video games. This is what I have:

• Game Boy Pocket in silver color
• Game Boy Advance clear purple
• Nintendo DS Lite red/black
• New Nintendo 3DS XL red
• Pokémon Pikachu (like a tamagotchi, yellow, b/w screen)
• Pokémon Pikachu GS (same, but more modern and with color screen)
• Lots of Game & Watch, including the Panorama and Versus ones, and the three editions we got recently (Ball, for Club Nintendo members, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda).
• 1 Tiger portable game
• Playdate (Teenage Engineering + Panic = awesome)
• Nintendo Switch (and different joycons and gamepads)
• Virtual Boy (I mean, Nintendo marketed as portable, right? XD - 2 units and almost every game available, including a super nice cartridge to play roms, the cartridge has an e-ink screen that shows the cover of the game currently flashed to the card)
• ASUS ROG Ally with the X Elite

And I think I covered all the portables I have that are not a phone or a tablet.
