Why not just make a good enough laptop for a cheap price ?
You can have a good laptop or a cheap one, not both.

This is my Linux Mint Cinnamon dressed up as Windows XP. How much more Windowsy would you like it ;-)
I run Linux Mint Cinnamon, latest version, on a GPD Pocket 2 with absolutely no issues. The touch screen, although it is a small one, works perfectly.
and offers a true desktop experience in a handheld.
Awkwardly telling us it’s an unsuited Windows 11 installation on a handheld. Would not want it on my desktop, let alone on my unwieldy handheld.
Tip? It is just a means to an end.
My main OS since Linux Mint 17.3, and still very happy with it. Switched from MacOS after a 10 year Apple stint and haven’t regretted it for even a second. My hardware needs were much cheaper if anything.
Like an onion or like a cake?
And the kicker: the config files show 99% were extracted from Debian Linux. Own Chinese distro, my ass.
Proof the bald dude did something right in his life.
and actually seems faster than the stock SSD
Larger SSD’s tend to be faster than their smaller counterparts. Has to do with a more efficient data controller or something.
Bought the 64GB version, ordered a certified to work with the Steam Deck M.2 512GB SSD and had absolutely no problem installing the thing. Plenty of HowTo’s on YouTube. Also re-installing SteamOS is easy. If I ever were to expand to 1TB or 2TB I would use CloneZilla to clone the contents instead of clean installing SteamOS again. My network traffic is not metered but it takes for ever to redownload the games.
My view: I could not, even if it would safe my own life, explain my 69 year old luddite mother how to operate and navigate an Android smartphone, but I was able to teach her how to use an iPhone 7 Plus without much trouble. She’s 73 now and scrolls Twitter and Instagram like the best of them. Replies on emails are still full of typing errors but hey we communicate just fine.
Washing your hands regularly avoids griming up your gear. Still have my original 1995 Nintendo Game Boy looking impeccable.
