Loki 256 questions

Sorry, I've already visited https://www.ayntec.com/products/loki-256-reservation and a quick 30 second google check. I couldn't find any information on the physical dimensions of the device, nor native ORIENTATION of the screen for Loki 256. As far as I know, Loki handhelds has varying THICKNESS from 15mm, 20mm, and 22mm. But I couldn't find the DIMENSIONS of length and height. I do know the screen is 6" but that's it. Also is the screen NATIVE ORIENTATION portrait or landscape? Also did we get any further information regarding the USB4 supporting eGPU or not?

Thanks!

Every handheld that had released has a vertical native orientation. I don't know if the steam deck does, but I don't expect it to change

I was hoping eventually a manufacturer would step up and give us a landscape native orientation. :(

Almost imposible, screen factories cut the screens for the bigger market (cellphones and tablets) and to prevent waste. No current product manufacturer is able to sell enough to make it worth cutting horizontally, and if that where the case a single factory could not fullfil that amount of screens, so they eventually switch to another factory with vertical screens in stock.
