These devices aren't it. Get a GPD WIN Max 2 if you want something reasonably small with reasonable functionality. Gaming devices like the ZOTAC ZONE require a case to carry, which makes them less portable than a small laptop, even if you don't consider having to also carry a portable keyboard. The WIN Max 2 is at least usable as a laptop, with a decent enough screen and keyboard for basic work, while also having controllers for gaming.
If you want something even more pocketable, get the WIN Mini. It would be less usable for general computing on the go, but still much more usable than a standard portable gaming device form factor.
I think that GPD is the only company making gaming handhelds which really fit into the category of multi-purpose devices.
Even so, I don't think it's reasonable to expect such devices to replace larger laptops or desktops.
