- Game Boy through PS1. A pocket Linux handheld is enough. These usually sit under ₱5,000. See retro
- PSP, N64, Dreamcast. Look at a larger Android screen in the ₱5,000–₱15,000 band. See Android
- PC libraries. Windows handhelds start above ₱15,000. They are heavier, and worth holding first. See Windows
