Built for play away from a desk, this illustrative handheld games PC has textured grips, inset thumbsticks and a row of ports along its top edge. The configurator offers colour and storage, then sends the specification as a quote request.
Handheld buyers juggle two decisions with very different stakes. Storage is functional and long-lived, and modern games take up far more space than people expect. Colour is personal and on show every day, on a train table or in a reading nook. A good configurator makes the first choice clear and the second enjoyable.

What you can configure
Storage is the one option here that changes nothing on screen, and that is accurate: 512 GB and 1 TB look identical. It is recorded in the summary beside the colour. Matte black, white, grey and navy are shown from six. What buyers need next to the storage selector is context, such as roughly how many large games each size holds and whether expansion is possible.

Why a configurator suits handheld PCs
Every colour and storage pairing is its own SKU with its own stock line. Six colours and two capacities make twelve, and for an electronics retailer that is a forecasting problem. Hold too much of the wrong colour at the wrong capacity and it ends up discounted. Under-order the popular one and buyers simply go elsewhere.
A configurator lets the retailer present the full range while stocking more selectively, or move slower combinations to build-to-order. The buyer still sees every option. The retailer sees which pairings people actually choose, which is better evidence than last season's sales of whatever happened to be in stock. That evidence feeds the next purchase order directly.
Handhelds also sell with accessories: cases, docks, screen protectors, extra storage. Offering them inside the configuration, matched to the colour already picked, grows the order naturally. Retailers supplying business or education buyers can add quantities and quote routing to the same product configurator. A matching case and screen protector are the obvious first suggestions.
How a production version would be built
Because storage changes nothing visible, the image set is one product shot per colour, six in total, plus a top-edge detail showing the ports. Storage becomes a data option with its own price, stock and SKU. Accessories appear as add-ons in the matching colour. SKU codes, stock levels and lead times per combination drive the logic. On Shopify or WooCommerce each pairing maps to a variant, and the configurator reads live stock, so an unavailable build shows an expected date instead of vanishing.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Storage choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if storage sizes can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about handheld PC configurators
Do we need a separate image for each storage size?
No. Storage does not change the device's appearance, so one image per colour is enough. What matters is that each capacity has its own price, stock level and SKU in the product data. The summary should also state it plainly before the buyer adds it to the basket.
Can the configurator explain what each storage size means in practice?
Yes, with a short note beside the selector. Describing roughly how many large games each capacity holds, and whether storage can be expanded, helps buyers choose without leaving the page. It also reduces returns from people who bought the smaller size and filled it within a week.
Can accessories match the colour chosen for the handheld?
They can. Cases, grips and docks in matching colours are filtered by the shell the buyer picked, so a navy handheld suggests navy accessories first. That keeps the add-on list short and relevant rather than showing every accessory in every colour.
How long does a colour and storage configurator take to set up?
It is one of the simpler builds, because the image count is small and the logic sits in the product data. Timing depends mostly on whether consistent product images and clean SKU data already exist. I reply to enquiries within two UK working days.
