Microsoft is reportedly set to release an Xbox handheld gaming PC in 2025, but it apparently won't be the one making the device itself. (www.pcgamesn.com)

4GB is still like 3GB more vs running Bazzite or SteamOS.

There's also the storage aspect, windows on its own with what it needs for windows updates can use like 50GB+ of space, and since most of these console come with small SSDs in the 128GB-512GB range that's a huge downside.

Then there's the lack of small screen optimization, lack of touch optimization, and all the garbage that runs in the background, uses resources, and constantly bothers people like onedrive and teams and other junk.
