Game consoles with headphone output

The game console, as the name implies, is distinguished by the presence of a colorful OLED screen with deep colours. By reducing the frames, its diagonal is increased to 7", and the resolution is 1280x720 pixels. The model allows you to play in three modes: portable, desktop, using a wide adjustable support and placing the console on the floor or on a table at the right angle, or on a large screen by connecting the console to a TV. The included docking station has two USB ports, an HDMI connector for connecting to a TV and a new LAN port for stable online gaming in TV mode, while the two Joy-Con controllers, which are equipped with HD vibration and an infrared motion camera, can be detached at any time to play with a friend. In addition, the Nintendo Switch (OLED model) boasts built-in speakers with improved sound and increased storage capacity up to 64 GB. And to download even more games, you can expand the storage using a microSD memory card. A 3.5 mm audio jack is provided for connecting headphones, a microphone and a headset. Responsible for battery life is a 4310 mAh battery, one charge of which will last up to 9 hours. But this time directly depends on the games: for example, if you play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the battery will last about 5.5 hours.

A portable version of the popular game console from one of the market leaders, the Japanese company Nintendo. Positioned as a product of the middle price category, designed for mobile gaming. Fully compatible with a vast library of popular games designed for its big sister, the Nintendo Switch hybrid console. The differences lie in a much more affordable cost, a smaller screen size (5.5 "vs. 6.2"), the absence of a docking station, the inability to connect to a TV, as well as non-removable Joy-Con controller panels. Thanks to these design changes, the weight of the console has been reduced by 31% (from 398g to 275g), which greatly increases the attractiveness of the device as a mobile console that you can take with you without hesitation in any bag, backpack or even an outerwear pocket. The hardware basis of the Nintendo Switch Lite model is still a powerful Nvidia Tegra X1 processor with 4 GB of RAM. The resolution of the capacitive touch screen with high-quality protective glass is 1280x720, and the amount of permanent memory is 32 GB, which can be expanded by installing a microSD/SDHC/SDXC card (up to 2 TB). For fast loading of game content, a high-speed Wi-Fi adapter is provided. The capacity of the Li-Ion battery is 3570 mAh, which is enough for 3-6 hours of use.

The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a powerful and convenient portable console that can run demanding games with an adequate frame rate. The console is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, which includes integrated AMD RDNA 3 graphics and is comparable in performance to a 6-core Ryzen 5 7540U laptop chip. Unlike the younger version with the regular Ryzen Z1, this model provides significantly higher performance. In terms of price and performance, the ROG Ally can be compared to inexpensive gaming laptops that demonstrate 40 to 60 frames per second in modern AAA games (for example, Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong and Elden Ring) at medium graphics settings and the FSR upscaler enabled. The console runs on an adapted Windows 11 platform and has access to an extensive library of games, including the Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, and GOG service catalogs. A fast and bright 7-inch Full HD screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz provides a smooth and high-quality visual experience both in games and when watching movies and TV series in high quality. The controls are designed in the style of SteamDeck and other mobile consoles, and the built-in RGB backlighting adds individuality. Overall, the built-in controllers provide a pleasant gaming experience, although they are slightly below the level of premium gamepads.

A popular portable console introduced by the famous Japanese company Nintendo in 2017. One of the key features of the model is the original form factor, which provides several usage scenarios at once. So, the Nintendo Switch package includes a 6.2-inch tablet, a special docking station and two Joy‑Con wireless controllers. These controllers can be attached to the side faces of the tablet and thus turn the device into a portable console that you can easily take with you on the road, travel, etc. Or you can connect them together to form a full-fledged gamepad, and connect the set-top box to your TV and play in such a way that as if you are using a classic stationary console. It is noteworthy that when connected to a TV, the resolution of the image displayed by the device increases from HD to full FullHD. In total, up to 8 branded controllers can be connected to one console to play together with friends.

A powerful and convenient portable console from the Taiwanese manufacturer MSI, providing high performance and wide functionality. It is a direct competitor to the increasingly popular portable consoles Valve Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. MSI Claw 135H 512GB is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H mobile processor and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which allows you to run most games on the Windows 11 platform, including demanding AAA projects. Despite the initial problems with performance and battery life caused by unsuccessful Intel drivers, after regular firmware updates, the device began to work much faster and now allows you to run modern gaming blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077, Spider-Man and God of War with a Full HD resolution and a stable frame rate without significant stutters and drops. The built-in 7-inch display has a Full HD resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which ensures smooth gameplay, and the peak brightness of 500 nits allows you to comfortably play even in bright lighting. The MSI Claw has a laconic design, although its weight (680 grams) is slightly inferior to competitors. The device also supports Wi-Fi 7 and the Thunderbolt protocol, providing additional options for connectivity and data exchange. An important feature is the TDP profile switch, which allows you to adjust performance depending on the requirements of the game and the remaining battery charge.

A remote gaming device that provides access to games from the PlayStation 5 console via a home Wi-Fi network. The console is controlled using the same buttons and controllers as the DualSense gamepad. Dynamic vibration responds to the player's actions, and dynamic resistance simulates interaction with objects in the game. In the center, instead of a small touch panel, there is a larger 8-inch Full HD display with high-quality color rendering, high contrast and a solid reserve of brightness. PlayStation Portal is designed for quick connection to the PS5 console: just turn on the device, press the connect button and quickly start playing. In this case, the player must have an active PlayStation Network account, and the console itself must be connected to the Internet, in rest mode or fully turned on. For basic operation of the device, a Wi-Fi connection with a data transfer rate of at least 5 Mbps is required. The recommended speed is 15 Mbps, since the quality of the connection depends on the number of connected devices, the room, the distance from the Wi-Fi receiver and other factors.
