It’s locked into the Xbox ecosystem. Even if it can be changed, which I assume they’re going to work really hard to not allow with steamos being so easy, most would simply give up before trying something else
It’s not locked to the Xbox ecosystem; it’s a Windows PC with a better UI for a controller to navigate. And I really don’t see this being any more locked down than Asus’ previous Ally stuff.
It’s just a windows PC in handheld format that has a new Xbox app that turns off a bunch of windows functions that use up perform despite having no benefit for gaming. But it is a windows pc, you can hook it up with a dock, and use it as your daily PC.

How do you know that?
They announced it… Runs steam as well
They announced that the OS and hardware isn’t locked down like an XBOX? I’d love to see that if you have a source.
Yea, it’s a handheld PC. The only thing “console” about it is that it’s Xbox branded
Again, if you have a source, I’d love to see it.
Players can still launch a normal version of Windows, but it’s no longer the default experience when booting the system up.
