Well, yeah, I get that, but honestly, if you can’t get what you want on that front from a GPD Win 4, an Ayaneo Air S1 or Flip… well, then what you want is better Windows on ARM support. These are still laptop chips we’re cramming into handhelds, it’s not a matter of size vs performance at that point. There’s a reason the Steam Deck is that size.
Honestly, at that point I’d try streaming, which those smaller ARM devices will do just fine. But even that I don’t think is worth it. That’s mobile hardware territory.
An Android device doesn’t run my Steam library.
I’m aware of Portmaster, but that’s a manual process that is only possible for certain engines. Whereas SteamOS can just run all my games.

I absolutely do not want Windows.
