Project I've been working on that I'm very passionate about. A fully upgradeable gaming handheld where you can upgrade the battery, mainboard (cpu), ram, storage by utilising Frameworks modular components. I will be selling it soon as a DIY kit for those that want another way to reuse (or buy new) their Framework components.
Can be currently upgraded to a Ryzen 7840U mainboard and a 61Wh battery for maximum performance.
Components used in video:
Intel 1260p mainboard
16GB ram
512gb ssd
55Wh Battery
dual speakers
7 inch FHD touchscreen
High speed WIFI & Bluetooth

You can replace the main board, screen, etc all separately. So if you want an upgraded processor, you can buy a main board and be on your way.
It’s not modular in the sense that you can plug random stuff together, it’s modular in the sense that you can replace each piece independently.
You can also swap the RAM and SSD

Yes, they are. This is just a PC in a handheld form factor. I would say that Steam Deck isn’t modular since the only pieces that can realistically be upgraded are the SSD and analog sticks. But this allows motherboard, screen, RAM, and controllers.
@sugar_in_your_tea @tallwookie valve or a Linux company should take this approach.
