I got inspired by these two articles https://hackaday.com/2024/11/17/a-handheld-gaming-pc-with-steam-deck-vibes/

The aim of the game is to use generic, non-gaming branded hardware, and build a capable handheld gaming machine. How would you go about it?

Step one is have a relevant business, otherwise this is just tax fraud.

I mean, as long as you're performing tasks for your work on said device, wouldn't it count?

I'm not a tax attorney, but generally it's recommended that business and personal expenses and equipment be separated. If it's combined, I think in some cases you can claim by percentage, like home offices can be claimed by square footage. If you get audited, you'll have to prove its primary purpose and usage is business.

Without doing any research I'd probably aim to build something akin to the OpenPandora.

3d print a 3ds like case for a pi. Use a hat to connect all the knobs and buttons. A little fan to keep it cool. Should be more than capable of playing old console games.
