The handheld PC that made the format mainstream runs a custom AMD APU inside a surprisingly capable connectivity shell. Its single USB-C port operates at USB 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode — one dock connects to a TV and handles 45W charging simultaneously. There is no Thunderbolt and no proprietary dock protocol, so any standard USB-C hub or dock works without caveats. The microSD slot accepts cards up to 2TB for storage expansion.
Valve’s original handheld gaming PC with USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DP 1.4 Alt Mode, 45W PD), microSD, and headset jack.
