Nobody needs insider knowledge or so to deduce that after the success of the Steam Deck which is literally based on a very similar architecture to both Xbox Series and PS5 both companies are prototyping their own variants, at the very least by doing quick and dirty ports of their operating systems to one of the existing off the shelf products of which none has a locked bootloader.
That’s just totally obvious. What we don’t know is if the higher ups decided to pursue this into production quality homegrown hardware.
In standard xbox/Microsoft form “{other company} has been extremely successful in their product, we’re going to take that idea, make a weird alteration, lock it into the microsoft environment, and then put it out 4 years too late, just in time for {other company} to come out with a better one”
Better than most, but still compared to the ipad, just too little too late. Even in the business market they still love the ipad, when the surface is obviously better as a tablet in a company…
There’s always Azure. I suppose that’s less comparable because it’s a business product in the same way Surface is primarily a business line. Either way, I hope they make something cool that competes with the Steam Deck cause the windows handhelds that have come out are very underwhelming.
