Honestly full linux desktop in a handheld form factor is pretty attractive.
One of the biggest pain points of linux laptops is getting the drivers right.
That being said The screen is quite small if you are dealing with text & while you can do some typing with the steam controller you won't want to do too much.
If your general set up is doing a tiny bit of work while away from a dock (with mouse + keyboard + monitor) and you dock it most of the time I think this could be a really nice package.
I'm thinking this looks fantastic. I can dock it at home and in the office, its powerful enough to do a lot of dev work locally, and I can just VNC to my home/office server when I need more beef like I do with my laptop. So - first pass, the same as a laptop.
Second pass, anti-glare ok-nits screen means I can use it outside. Format means I can use it on the fortnightly train. Whilst I don't want to code with it without being docked I can review, plan, read, have meetings, and make minor edits + run tests while sitting in the garden.
Having meetings outside will probably be the best use of time and justify the spend.
