After being revealed early in February, the upcoming Orange Pi Neo that will come with Manjaro Linux now has a price, and there will be multiple versions of it although we still don't exactly have a clear release date.
The Steam Deck is already a couple of years old, so it’s not that hard to do. This thing has better specs across the board, with even the base model having twice the cores and threads as the Deck.
Steamdeck performance is still pretty good though, imo the most important factor in the handheld pc market is battery life. If games take a 5% hit to performance for an extra 40 minutes of battery life, the tradeoff becomes obvious to me.

I’m not really sure core and thread count is a good metric. The steam deck is getting more specific support and there’s more to consider about a CPU.
