The big stumbling block for me is I don't enjoy gaming on the go so if 
we go on a long journey my time is spent looking out the window, reading 
a book and just some aimless browsing. I do have some games on my iPad 
and they all have one thing in common, you can play them in sessions of 
10-20mins. Any longer than that and my attention just starts to wander.

The only handheld I really considered was the Steam Deck but it would be 
pretty stupid to spend that much money for something that will end up in 
a draw six months later.
