I think so. But it would be hard and I would be surprised if anyone besides Valve could pull it off.

I have a second batch steam deck and still play it often. I wish it had a slightly bigger OLED screen. I think the 16x10 8inch equivalent is a good size.

There would also need to be a fairly decent CPU and GPU upgrade. As well as either an efficiency upgrade or a bigger battery. I think with enough time if we could get a decent arm CPU with good GPU performance, but that is likely not going to happen anytime soon, this could theoretically hit all of these requirements.

I would like to see hall effect sticks and triggers by default.

That could dethrone the steam deck. Especially if it had good linux support, either steam os or bazzite would be good for me.

With the current rise of PC ARM processor (Apple silicone, Snapdragon X), anyone feel like Steam missed the opportunity when developing Deck with x86 and now they have to stick with it?

I tried Apple MacBook Air M2 with a bunch of games and emulators and it runs amazing while being extremely efficient.

I can run Switch emulator Ryujinx with Mario Kart Deluxe 8 at 60FPS and it only need 12Wh, compared to my PC (i5, 1070) need ~150Wh to do the same thing.

the only thing i'd like more than a steam deck is for a portable ps5 (which would be everything the switch should have been) because i want to play rebirth and ff16 again on my steam deck but i don't wanna wait until pc release)
