...as spotted by Brad Lynch and TVKilledMi on X/Twitter, this model does support 6GHz triple-band Wi-Fi — suggesting that it has either Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. The original Steam Deck doesn’t even have Wi-Fi 6.

They already did this 5 years back and it was a failure. The Steam controller was neat though.

Now Proton has had more time, it makes sense that they would revisit this though

The software support (proton) wasn't where is it now though. They also did it through third parties instead of in house.

Could be interesting, they could probably market it.

They made a streaming box, not a console or mini PC.

Nah, they made what was basically a Linux based Steam console too: https://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/valve-steam-box-release-date-news-and-features-1127072

"licensed by – but not designed – by Valve"

That's a key difference.
