Not interested at all. Steam os has spoiled gamers with the quick booting, flexibility, and pause / resume. It's over for windows.

Hardware makers making the same mistakes over and over again...

I'll say it louder for the kids in the back, "DON'T BOTHER MAKING CUSTOM GAMING HARDWARE WITHOUT A CUSTOM GAMING OS".

Regardless of how you feel about Windows, it is not fit for purpose. It's the wrong tool for the job.

That's cool and all but I got my hopes on the Steam Deck still, simply because Valve cracked the "who needs Windows" nut

Cool. Now it just needs steam os on it

Is running windows os on these devices is a lot of resource overhead?

All these new handhelds with windows seem to have completely forgot how much of a failure windows has been on mobiles in the past (other than laptops and such). I know windows mobile was a whole different ui but isn't windows 10/11 even worse to use on small screens like this?

I really hope valve starts supporting steamOS for devices other than the deck soon so we can have the full deck experience including all the tweakable settings.

It's got some ground to make up if it's going to try to take on the ROG Ally. Still, competition is exactly what this space needs ATM - can't wait to see where the market is in a few years!

At least this means that the PC handhelds seem to be lucrative and we can definitely expect a steam deck 2 or better competition.

Asus and Lenovo clearly put no thought into how controlling windows desktop with a controller feels worse than pancaking your own testicles. The steam deck trackpads are far from an amazing experience for desktop input but it is at least usable and not the worst thing ever.

No thanks. We don't need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.
