My main concern with companies like Lenovo or Asus building such devices on Windows is support. I have more trust in Valve to do this right.
Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go'

I really wish more PC handheld devices would come out with SteamOS instead of Windows. It’d make them a lot more appealing to me over the Steam Deck. The Windows experience on handhelds is a bloated and kludgy mess.

Allegedly MSFT took notice and is working on it…. But there are some good 3P apps that make it usable to launch games. Installing them is still a chore without a Bluetooth keyboard.

It can’t be done cause Steam hasn’t released it yet unfortunately

They haven’t released the installable ISO, but there’s no reason why hardware vendors and Valve couldn’t work together to build a Steam OS image for specific devices.

Presuming valve wants to do this of course.

Don’t see why they wouldn’t. Every SteamOS device sold is a huge win for them

They have everything to win and nothing to lose. SteamOS is purpose built to direct you to Steam, Valve only wins.
