So there's a black handheld with a "steam" button on the left and a ". . ." button on the right, as well as a white version that doesn't have the steam specific buttons (so probably a windows version).
Interesting idea to sell both, and it will help them gauge whether there's a demand for Steam powered versions. I wonder if Valve will promote it at all, getting free steam advertising would be an easy way to convince manufacturers to offer SteamOS versions of their handhelds.
Unfortunate that it doesn't have trackpads though, the Lenovo Go was one of the only other handhelds to have a trackpad, and I hoped they would keep it.
I can't imagine using one of these without a trackpad.
