It's a steam deck. (and a phone)

I thought the phone was a knife, cause that would have also been reasonable.

I like to believe that the Steam Deck was never meant to be sold as a product.

It was just Gabe who wanted to play games on the deck of his yatch, so he got few engineers at Valve to work on a solution.

Of course the engineers were a bit too enthusiastic and turned it into an actual consumer product.
