they announced this on April Fools and everyone thought it was a joke 
the big question is the price. these handheld computers have been around for a minute, but they're usually $1000+. Steam Deck has been so successful because it's reasonably priced

I like this move by Asus, Asus can compete with Steam deck on price
Dell should enter as well, XPS design on handheld

I don’t think a lot of these companies understand the gaming market. The steam deck is thriving because of Steam.
Valve basically has a monopoly on the PC storefront

I get it, the market is thriving, but here's something that Steam Deck does right versus all of these friggin handhelds....getting Linux to work well with the games.Thus, the hardware is cheap and sturdy, while the Windows based handhelds are expensive as hell and have numerous issues.

The only other company that will manage to hit the sweet spot will be the next nintendo handheld.
You need good battery life, good screen, great graphics, WiFi, ergonomics, software, AND you need to be able to keep the cost low enough for the type of person that actually wants a portable device, which is small.
The steam deck hasn’t even sold 2 million units yet, and the switch lite is the worst selling sku out of the 3. The biggest selling point of the switch is that you can use it as a home console, not just a pokemon device.
if more games supported linux my desktop woulda been running Arch long ago. I got an old laptop on Arch and its glorious. shyt, id even take Mint over windows.
