I'm holding out a little bit of hope that Valve puts out a laptop - the Steam Deck has notably good power management for a linux device of its class (and I've even heard of people using them as laptop replacements), though the idle power is still higher than a Macbook. They're going to have made a desktop, gaming handheld, and VR device; why not one more?
- mcny 10mo agoMaybe they will spend more than five cents and get a decent hinge? I would love to support Valve if the build quality is good and the price is decent.
- viraptor 10mo agoWhat would be the reason for their laptop to exist? People on the move get the steamdeck. Others get the GabeCube. Based on the steam hardware stats / graphics cards, there's very little laptop usage. I'm not sure there's enough market to get them interested.

- daemonologist 10mo agoThe reason would probably have to be because the employees themselves want such a device; maybe there could be some angle of having an ARM dev machine for the Steam Frame. I agree that it seems unlikely though.
