Choosing Your Handheld PC Brand: Lenovo, ASUS or MSI? 🔧
Different brands bring unique strengths that impact your gaming experience. Lenovo’s handhelds offer excellent battery life and solid performance for long sessions, while ASUS handheld gaming consoles tend to prioritise display quality and responsiveness — great for visually rich games. MSI models lean towards raw power and cooling efficiency, keeping your device cooler and your gameplay smooth.
Explore our curated selection of Lenovo handhelds, ASUS handhelds, and MSI handhelds to pick what suits your style.
TIP FOR YOU
Battery Life Matters
Prioritise handheld PCs with efficient power management—longer gaming sessions depend on it. Also, tweak screen brightness and close background apps for extra hours on the go.
Setting Up Xbox Game Pass on Your Handheld PC
Once you’ve got your device, setting up Xbox Game Pass is a breeze:
- Connect to a strong WiFi network or mobile hotspot to avoid lag spikes.
- Download the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.
- Sign in and browse the library; your games are ready to download or stream.
- Adjust controller settings or connect your own Bluetooth controllers for tailor-made controls.
Smooth gameplay often means keeping drivers updated and clearing background tasks to reduce resource hogging. South African gamers especially benefit from optimising network connections due to variable internet speeds around the country.

Yes, the ROG Ally runs Windows 11, allowing native installation of the Xbox app for seamless Xbox Game Pass on handheld PCs access without workarounds.
Native Game Pass requires Windows. On SteamOS, you must use Xbox Cloud Gaming via a browser or dual-boot Windows to access the full PC Game Pass library.
Open the Xbox app settings, enable 'Offline Permissions,' and launch the game once while online. This is crucial for travel with your portable gaming PC.
Cloud gaming works great on handhelds with strong Wi-Fi 6E connections, saving storage space and battery life by streaming titles instead of rendering locally.
Windows-based handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw offer the best native compatibility for the PC Game Pass library.
Ensure your time zone is set to automatic, update Windows, and reset the Xbox app in settings. This resolves most sync issues on portable gaming PCs.
