The iPad probably weights less than half what this thing does, and probably takes up a lot less space.
Also it's probably faster and almost certainly gets better battery life.
Faster in what way?
iPads have ridiculously powerful cpus and gpus
If an iPad ran steamos and supported steam controller in some kind of wacky timeline it would clean up all the competition. This thing is like 400g for 13 inch oled m4 beast battery all day. The numbers squeezed into this thin sleek and light thing are pure insanity
If an iPad ran SteamOS, it would choke on running out of memory before Steam was done loading.
