When steamOS officially releases for other hardware than the deck, I hope handheld manus/designers try to build lower power steam decks rather than higher powered ones

How do poeple feel about this?

I'm thinking smaller form factor than the deck, with less power.

You’ll only find that kind of setup with Chinese handhelds. Xbox definitely isn’t going to release a smaller, less powerful handheld, and Steam has already made it clear they’re holding off until there’s a more significant jump in hardware performance.

Exactly—that’s what I’m after. I want something with the compact form factor of a device like the RG35XX, but capable of running SteamOS and handling lower-spec games from my library.

Basically, I’m looking for a pocket-sized SteamOS device. I’m not trying to play Cyberpunk on it or anything, but I’ve got a ton of lightweight indie titles that would be perfect for travel—without the bulk of the Steam Deck or something similar.
