I'll be waiting for a Z1 Extreme version and steam OS for other things then the steam deck and something like this would be a solid drop in for a PC "Console" for my TV. My steam deck does great but for the games I play on the couch there are maybe a few that just having an extra bump would be perfect for.
You can just look for a mini PC with the Ryzen 7 7840U / Ryzen 7 7840HS / Ryzen 9 7940HS if that's your goal.
The Z1 Extreme is basically just the 7840U with it's AI hardware disabled and tuned a little differently for battery life, but on a mini PC that's not super necessary. And the 7840HS/7940HS both do slightly better in the CPU area. All of them also use the same 780M iGPU too.
The Z1 chips also don't get AMD software drivers, they get it from whoever makes the device(Asus for the Ally etc).
