If purchasing a high-end handheld gaming device isn’t in your cards, creating your own might be the next best thing.

A remarkable DIY project has emerged where modder Qingchen has developed a Nvidia-powered handheld gaming PC, resembling a mix between a Steam Deck and a tablet with built-in controllers. The unit features a stunning 12.5 inch IPS 4K display and incorporates the hardware from an RTX 4090-equipped gaming laptop.

This intriguing handheld device combines a Core i9 14900HX CPU and GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, running smoothly even with 64 GB of upgradeable DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB hard drive on a Tongfang chassis.

However, this modder’s endeavor isn’t without challenges, as the design requires an external power source to function at full capacity, relying on a meager built-in 50 Wh battery. Windows OS is utilized but may not deliver the same experience as dedicated gaming OS options.

This newly created green machine stands as a unique offering, showcasing an innovative approach and setting the stage for more portable gaming solutions in the future.
