Since the successful launch of the Steam Deck nearly two years ago, we've seen plenty of would-becompetitors that have tried to mimic the Deck's portable form factor and ability to run PC games. Thus far, though, these competitors have all been missing one of the Steam Deck's best features: integration with the increasingly robust, Linux-based SteamOS 3.
That's finally set to change with the just-announced Ayaneo Next Lite, the first non-Valve portable hardware set to come with SteamOS pre-installed. We can only hope this is the start of a trend, as Valve's gaming-focused operating system brings many advantages over gaming portables (and maybe desktops) that run a full Windows installation.
A bespoke, portable gaming OS
Ayaneo's announcement highlights a few vague-ish features of the Next Lite, including a 7-inch 800p screen, a 47 Wh battery, and drift-resistant hall-effect joysticks. But even though the announcement doesn't include a specific asking price, Ayaneo promises that the device "integrates outstanding cost-effectiveness" and will be "the all-new cost-effective choice with flagship experiences."
