Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives
pcguide.com
TL;DR: Antec is going to be selling a Steam Deck competitive device, based on the Ayaneo Slide. The device has a slide up screen that reveals a keyboard, which is good because using desktop windows is much easier with a keyboard. However the device's lowest estimated power draw at low/no load is 15w, meaning it will use comparable power to the deck running at max power. This means the battery life will probably be pretty rough when compared to the Deck. It will also likely have a much higher price point.

Unless it runs Linux it doesn't stand a chance. The moment you decide to sell a handheld gaming console running Windows you doom it to failure. It's the worst OS possible for that purpose.
Nope, there are plenty worse...
z/os, Temple OS, OpenBSD, React OS and others.
Sorry, I am just feeling pedantic, it is late and I am about to get some sleep...
Are you honestly telling me you wouldn't buy a Temple OS handheld?
Only if it were bound handsomely in leather with gilt lettering, as befits its divine purpose.
Man you could generate so many poems by God on that bad boy
I mean, not for gaming...
Especially for gaming!!!!!!
Playing FAITH The Unholy Trinity at my Temple OS demonslaughter machine.
Windows is the main reason I never got one of those PC handhelds even though they have been around for a very long time.
Never really felt like a handheld, more like an unwieldly laptop.
To be honest I was recently forced back into Windows by my employer recently and I don't get it's good for :p
Control. It's metrics and data mining all the way up.
What's funny is that when I learned about system admin, it was all Linux.
