How to choose a model? (lemmy.world)

I don't do much handheld gaming, but I'm going to have some overseas flights and long-ish train rides later this year, and may also be having surgery that will keep me fairly bedbound for about a month. I'm just not sure how much money it's worth spending on a deck that I likely won't use much outside of those specific cases - I bought a switch when I got covid in 2020 and used it a ton at the time but I've only used it a few times since, though I miiight use a deck a bit more just because I already have a pretty extensive steam library.

Is it better to stick to the cheapest model or is there enough of a difference that it might be worth spending a little more for a nicer one?

I recommend OLED. Personally I’m glad I went with the top tier. I threw a bunch of indie games on it and a few AAA and there’s room to spare, and the screen is just gorgeous. I definitely use it way more than my switch. The switch is just a bit too small screen and the deck is just right
