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.

Steamdeck is a gaming computer. Games have much more resource requirements than office programs. If you can play PS4-level AAA games on the deck without much issue, then office programs will pose zero issue.

Steamdeck is a unique form factor. There is no “Steamdeck laptop” because then it would not be a Steamdeck, it would be a laptop.
