    How much cost does an OEM Wimdows license add to a PC these days? I know they don’t pay retail but I’m curious what kind of pricing disadvantage this puts Windows portables like this vs. Linux portables like the Steam deck.

      The steam deck (Linux) has suspend mode for games while in windows it will still run even when the screen is turned off or in sleep mode and saps the battery faster than my gaming laptop.
