Drivers, probably. Valve did the heavy lifting with the Steam Controller and Steam Input. Other manufacturers don’t have a controller abstraction layer they can integrate that into
Sounds impressive, but it means nothing without knowing how much it costs.
Aside from that, the big question mark is how much power it’ll use. Even though intel’s new chips are way better than the old ones, the 155H still uses a lot more power than AMD. No point in a handheld if it’ll get hot quickly and run out of battery in 40 minutes.

If that chipset has the same issues my Arc a750 has, don’t count on being able to play older games.
This is the first time I’ve seen “Steam deck” used for a non-Valve device. Gaben may have made the next Kleenex or Bandaid

Why are there only two handheld PCs with touchpads?
