Since all lithium batteries will have nominal voltages of around 3.7 V, these are just being built with different configurations of serial and parallel cells. So the ROG has four serial cells, the Steam Deck has two, the MSI Claw and the Legion Go have three each. In any case, they'll be using switch regulators to step the voltage up or down depending on the necessity.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

Oh, and I was wrong with the 25 Watts TDP limit on battery power for "The Claw":

And I press "X" for doubt to intels claim, to get 35 Watts (plus a few Watts for the Display, RAM, etc.) for two hours out of a 53 Wh battery.

Ouch... I hope they can fix that with a day one BIOS update.

They can't. Their is a reason AMD APUs are preferred in this space. Meteor Lake isn't as efficient. It has larger battery, but I think that's to ensure they have similar battery life to their competition despite a higher power draw.
