I'm interested academically (please no "it's enough").

As in: if they release a steamdeck laptop with the same motherboard and chipset as the steamdeck, how would it stack up against other laptops for general computing. We already know the gaming part of it. I doubt they would release a laptop version for this iteration, but maybe for steamdeck 2 we'll get a steamdeck 2 laptop version.

Again, laptops with that chipset kind of already exist. Steam Deck uses a custom AMD APU, but it's really not that special. The point of the customization is to make it work well in that handheld form factor. If you're putting it in a laptop you might as well just use a more common (and more powerful) laptop chipset because you have more space.
