I much prefer the Steam Decks approach on handheld gaming. Instead of matching the latest desktop systems in hardware they focus on the console-like experience.
My bet is that with them being more popular than anyone could have expected, we’ll see the release of a “gaming” version of Windows that better fits these devices.
That wouldn’t be very surprising either honestly, pretty sure their console sales have never been the best of the big three, they have the resources and could push game pass hard with that…
That seems to be more of a software plan than a hardware feature, though? I would bet, with some brief engineering, someone could make all these Lenovo/MSI/Asus products run SteamOS as far back as their startup tutorial instead of Windows.

I don’t expect Microsoft to put time and effort into something like that unless they plan to make an Xbox portable of their own.
