I love my Steam Deck and its ability to play a surprising range of games. That being said, it's a chunky guy, and is actually kinda overkill for some of the games I play the most on it. For something like an hour-long train ride for example, it's a bit too big to justify bringing with me.
Although my phone is capable of playing games in some cases, it lacks buttons and most importantly can't connect to my steam library (outside of things like Geforce now).
Maybe it's just me but I think a roughly PSP/Vita-sized device that ran Steam OS could be a really cool option. Would be less powerful of course but with modern SOCs still be very capable, not to mention emulation possibilities. Plus it could still stream from your PC like the current deck, and would be actually pocket sized in a similar way to your phone or older handhelds were.
What do people think?
