That makes more sense considering Valve still hasn't released anything SteamOS related other than a recovery image.

Whats the target audience for this? This looks like a cheaper copy of the steam deck, but at a similar price.

Maybe china and other countries that can’t get the steam deck?

You’re right, it is probably designed for china.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Initially AYANEO announced it as using SteamOS, and later clarified to GamingOnLinux that it was actually HoloISO customized.
I did ask what they’ve tweaked but they simply said “we’ve made some changes to adapt the NEXT LITE hardware and drivers, and I’m very sorry I can’t tell you exactly at this time”.
Colour options: Pastel Blue / Bright White / Jet Black.
X-axis Linear Motor + Six-axis Gyroscope.
No date is actually being announced for release just yet, AYANEO simply told me “It will be officially available at the AYANEO online store in the near future” and that they “will offer exclusive early bird pricing for the first 100 customers, who can get the AMD 4500U version with 16G RAM and 512G stroage for just $299 with free shipping”.
For now, you can simply subscribe to their newsletter on the official page to get notified when it becomes available.

Aww, bummer. I was hoping we’d have more company development power behind SteamOS.

HoloISO appears to be a rebuild from source of SteamOS
“Holo” is the code name for the current SteamOS version

Maybe if it gets popular, Valve will introduce any downstream improvements back into the source.
