I wish valve would do a steam laptop that's just steamdeck in a laptop. I'm surprised how good the steamdeck is. I'm considering replacing my pc with steamdeck + dock + external hard disc.

Thankfully, we can now do this ourselves. The Steam Deck hardware to compete with is: - A custom CPU with integrated GPU that's somewhere between an AMD 6600U and 6800U, underclocked for battery life and thermals - 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM (6400 MT/s) - 50 Wh battery So, to make your own Steam Deck-like laptop, you should buy a USB or wireless controller and install the Holo ISO distro (for a UI like the Steam Deck) on a laptop with the following specs: - 50+ Wh battery - 16+ GB of RAM (preferably LPDDR5 for thermals) - A sufficiently powerful CPU+GPU (most new 15W ones will do, especially if you set it to underclock when on battery power) - A USB-C port with USB 3 Gen 2 speeds and DisplayPort support - A sufficiently nice screen, speaker, trackpad, cooling fan

  Bazzite is a good distro alternative to Holo ISO, that might be better suited for a laptop or desktop.
