IMO a device like this should be portable first, and that means a reasonable battery life, and generally a system trying to do more with less. Also $900-$1500 is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

What’s the downside? This almost looks too good. I don’t like the battery size but this is hitting almost every other desire-list checkbox. I love the prospect of having touchpad options, and that 6-button panel is such a great idea.

Maybe the button-swap panels will feel weirdly loose over time? Can it run SteamOS?
