What is the device you want, but that does not exist?

I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

A modern Steam Machine console/PC. I just got the Steam Deck and I love it, but it's roughly PS4 power. I want a PS6 with the same or better SteamOS build that the Steam Deck has. I want simple modular upgradability. I want it to come with a controller that's basically the Steam Deck without the screen, but with the comfort of a dualsense. I want to have a device that can replace both my PS5 and my laptop from 2015. I want the freedom and multitasking of PC with the standardization and comfort of console, updated to this decade.

I mean, technically you could build it yourself and just use PS/X controllers. I know it's a lot more work than just buying it premade but at least you could fulfill your own dream in the meantime.

I'm very interested in doing that, actually! I'm not sure I could do it in a small enough form factor to be what I want without sacrificing power and risking overheating, but I could probably build something bigger that's good to put down on the floor by the tv (no carpet).
