Cool, but it's missing trackpads and Linux...

I never knew how much I needed the trackpads until I played on the deck - unlike with the joysticks, I can actually play FPSs!!

I've realized I get some pretty bad cramps in my right hand if I play games that requires the track pad to replace a mouse, I wish the Deck's side would be more angled (see Xbox controller)

I put Bazzite on my Legion go and it was very easy, and I've been loving it so far. The thing about these windows gaming handhelds is they're great with Linux. I kind of wish they'd use the detachable controllers to allow people to spec in other options. Sort of like the switch where there were different joycons you could use including aftermarket ones. That would allow them to do a track pad similar to the steamdeck for people who prefer that. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

If the lite model looked more like a Steam Deck and was priced more like a Steam Deck it might be a more tempting option.

I wouldn't mind a Lite Deck which is similar in size to the Switch.

As good as the Steam Deck is a smaller option would be nice. This sector of the industry is still trying to find the ideal form factor.

I wish we could go down to PS Vita size but I understand that mobile fills that sector for now :(

A small dedicated gaming device with hardware buttons is all I want though

The next Switch is getting bigger, so it looks like every handheld trying to maximize performance, battery, and price is ending up on a larger size right now.
