What innovations in on-device security would make you feel safer using a Gaming handheld PC

With portable gaming PCs becoming common, what built‑in safeguards would reassure you? Secure bootchain, fingerprint unlock, sandboxed gaming environments, or TPM-backed encryption? Would on‑chip VPNs or per‑game permission controls matter? Perhaps BIOS‑level password managers and anti‑theft GPS tracking? Which combination of hardware and OS features would you require before trusting a handheld PC with your banking or email alongside Steam or Epic?

Robust biometric authentication (fingerprint/face ID), secure boot to prevent tampering, and strong anti-cheat integrated at the hardware level would make me feel much safer. Also, encrypted storage with quick remote wipe options in case of theft!

I'd want compartmentalized storage where game data, personal files, and system components are completely isolated - malware from a compromised game mod couldn't access banking information or spread to other applications.
