Great! More competition is a good thing.

I wish media outlets would stop pretending that mobile devices running Windows are rivals to the steam deck, though. A very large portion of the deck's magic comes from SteamOS, which has loads of things built into it to benefit mobile gaming. Streamlined game updates, low overhead OS, quick booting, quick suspend/sleep, custom control hardware, and more.

All these devices running Windows are just laptops in a less versatile form factor. That's all well and good, but I don't see how they really have much to do with the steam deck except for the fact that they're portable and have a built in controller of some sort.
Why do they not embrace SteamOS?
- Because it's still not really available.
  
  Valve said they want to partner with companies to support it on other devices. Guess they haven't taken up Valve's offer for whatever reason. They should also have more faith on just how well proton works.
How about you just make more laptops first...it's been week after week of no stock on 15inch L and T series...and the one or two models that do show up, are priced 500-800 more then they should be
- R&D != production
- So .....supply and demend?
  
  Well, if they're consistently out of stock, supply isn't meeting demand. Hence the comment
Please just make think pads upgradeable again.
