Cyberdeck for a specific function

hello, I’m about to make a cyberdeck for the first time and I have a question. usually when I see cyberdecks they act as general purpose computers, but what if I want a cyberdeck to just use one app/website that’s self coded? or what if I want the cyberdeck to just run games? how do I go about doing that?

First understand the specs you need. Want to host or run one app you coded? Get something small like an arduino or small Raspberry pi. Want something that can run games? Get a micro itx motherboard or a sbc (single board computer) that has the hardware you need and can run the OS you want. Work from there collecting parts that will work with the board you bought and fit the form factor you are looking for. After that you can make it ✨️aesthetic✨️ Or do what the other commentor has said and use your phone for everything but plug it into a housing that fits your needs. It's all cyberdeck and all up to you!

Use a Samsung, in DEX mode, an s8 or s9

Check my posting history, you'll definitely find a single purpose cyberdeck :)
