I'd never buy anything HP again. They earned 1st place on my do-nerver-ever-even-consider list with bravado some 25 years ago already.
Look, same, but just for the fun of it I like to imagine there is some magic point here where HP decides to make a steam deck os handheld, but doesn't give a shit enough to focus on loading it up with shovelware, they just sort of say ok lets make a handheld that can run steamos and just focus on the hardware, leave em to the wolves I mean steam support.
They can make decent hardware, at least on their business laptops, it can be wildly inconsistent, kind of reminds me of like an audi car (at least in the US) some of them are actually pretty decent and reliable but some of them are fucking horror stories that never end for the owner lol...
