Many build their own PC. Nowadays there are quite many models of handhelds but most are plagued with at least one of these problems:

Too bulky

Low Performance

Poor Battery

Poor screen

I’m not sure a Steam Deck 2 or 3 or 4, etc… mini, with efficient battery will be launched some day.

With the SteamOS I was starting to think if maybe I should try to build my own handheld.

Assembling all the parts available out there, re-purposing discarded devices parts.

Is this some kind of stupid idea? Not looking for validation, I’m just looking to learn if others tried.

    This one guy built a handheld based around the framework laptop parts that look pretty good, and I think there were several copycats as well.
