Cloud-handheld debate heats up around PlayStation Portal and Lenovo C700

Cloud-first handhelds are back in the argument zone, and not everyone is cheering. GamesRadar points to the PlayStation Portal as part of a wider all-digital anxiety, while also noting new interest around Lenovo’s C700 handheld and Acer’s cloud-focused portable work. The appeal is easy to understand: lower hardware requirements, familiar controls and access to bigger games without a full gaming PC inside. The problem is also obvious: no connection, no party.

For mobile gamers, this debate matters because cloud devices sit right next to gaming phones, Android tablets and handheld PCs. The future may be portable, but whether it is truly yours is the question.
