I've been thinking about this question for quite some time and have come to the realisation that there is no 'perfect' emulation station. What I've identified is a spectrum where you are trading off portability/convenience for power, and your personal preference will dictate which device is best for you. I'll list pros and cons here on what I think the spectrum looks like from 'Most Power and Least Portability' to 'Most Portability and Least Power':
Pros: Can emulate anything at high quality. Can take any controller. Big display. Access to Steam
Cons: Not portable at all. Expensive
Pros: Can emulate most things at high quality. Is portable. Big display. Long(ish) battery life. Can take any controller. Access to Steam
Cons: Bulky to carry and use (if on the go). Heats up significantly. Expensive.
Pros: Less bulky than a laptop. Small enough to use a controller that wraps around the device (makes gaming on the go better). Can take any controller. Good display size. Access to Steam
Cons: Expensive. Still a large device you will need to carry around. Not quite powerful enough to run the latest gen of emulation really well.
Pros: Good display size. Less bulky than a laptop. Small enough to use a controller that wraps around the device. Cheap.
Cons: No access to Steam. Cannot emulate much above PS1 (some of the better tablets might be able to). Cannot take USB controllers easily (need adapters). Not all emulators / cores actively developed on iOS / Android
Pros: Extremely portable. You are going to have a phone with you anyway. Not as expensive as the above
Cons: Cannot emulate much above PS1 (Although the very latest smart phones might be able to). Not all emulators / cores actively developed on iOS / Android (you'll be dealing with bugs for longer). Cannot take USB controller. Small display.
Personally I value convenience above all else and have gone with emulation on my smart phone. The controller issue I solved with this which unfortunately blocks the headphone jack, so I got Bluetooth headphones. This means I have some audio lag which isn't great, but I have no controller lag. Most of the games I care about playing are N64 / PS1 / PSP so I have no issues with needing more powerful hardware... although I am thinking about upgrading to something like an S8 so I could play Dolphin games.
I think a 2-in-1 is as close as you can come to a 'perfect' game station. You have the required hardware for on-the-go gaming, it's not too bulky to carry around (unlike fully fledged gaming laptop) and when you want to do some sit-down hardcore gaming (Steam) you can plug it into an external GPU. I haven't committed to this idea yet since I have a decent gaming PC, and my phone is holding down all my emulation needs at the moment. But this seems like the best of both worlds.
i got it in China but you can try amazon.

Hmmm, I've been looking for something along those lines for a while now. I'll look into it. Thanks!
edit:
This looks like the same form factor but not the same name:

I've seen similar items like iPega, same exact style but different make and model.
