Indeed, but it's not like this thing. The built in screen makes it more like a Sharp portable computer from the 80s, which were rebranded as Tandy for the US market.
The campaign page shows a huge amount of information on the screen, far too small to actually read. To be practical it will have to be like the 80s machines, with little more than a few lines of text displayed.
The cyberdecks in Neuromancher are a bit different, the screen is a more practical size. More like the luggable computers of that era, now completely obsoleted by laptops and phones with desktop modes.
1920 x 480. Do you remember 640 x 480. Ya it's three of those, crystal clear, capacitive touch. That's $70 US in parts with the integrated sound, HDMI and digitizer. $65 because we are ordering 1000 to start.

This looks like it would be fun to use, lots of potential configurations.

Unfortunately I have little faith in them as their campaign seems mostly to be relying on "cyberdeck" sounding cool.
Much more interesting is the Commander 16, a variation on the VIC20 hardware. It's far from perfect but does boot into BASIC.

I assume "cyberdeck" is a Shadowrun reference.

IIRC, cyberdeck was coined by Gibson in Neuromancer while Shadowrun was a video game set in the Neruomancer universe (roughly).

Maybe I'm getting old but there is no way I could comfortably use that, or even see it easily in a normal typing position.
