2 usb-c ports, much bigger screen, much better APU, thats all I ask!
counter argument: make it pocketable
Yes, why do people always want bigger. In my opinion 7" is plenty and my device has a 6" screen that is perfect. I can actually hold the device for extended sessions without getting fatigued.
I would want a smaller device and larger screen. Aka reduce the bezels. The deck has comically large bezels.
Also, the size of the device does not have much to do with its weight. I would rather a larger comfitable device then a tiny one that gives me cramps to use. Lighter weight is always a plus. But not always worth the tradeoffs. I would not want a lightweight device that only lasts 30mins of usage.
Steam Deck mini, same performance, pocketable, dockable.
I'd die happy, because this also means there's a dockable linux laptop in my pocket, games-aside, that's a well-added tool.
This would be perfect, I mostly play the switch docked but the option to play on the go is nice. Add a keyboard and you’ve got a portable dev machine… take my money!
I'd settle for Switch 2 weight and thickness.
Detachable controllers, so that it can be a good Linux tablet as well! Dominate two markets!!!!!
Yes, that too! I've got a Lenovo Legion Go and its great with controllers detached
It would also help spread Linux into the tablet market as well. If people were using their decks as a tablet as well that could lead to helping the future of an authentic usable Linux phone.
I don't know the sizing, but I wonder if a keyboard could be added... Like how the switch has that piece that connects the two detached controllers into one controller.. that middle piece could possibly be a keyboard.
