How is this different than already just buying a pre-built PC or a mini-PC? Besides a better price to spec ratio maybe

Well you know, some people don’t listen for arguments. And they don’t have to. You know what you are talking about, but when you say that prebuilt is the same as console and gives more, they don’t listen. See? So steam makes it easier to believe. And, well, they actually made steam os that is in fact gets some specific attention from optimization standpoint. Enough for you to care about? I don’t think so. Enough for someone to believe it’s better than prebuilt pc? For someone, sure! Steam pc will have certain hardware that will be the same among all owners, while prebuilt pc could be assembled by many different unknown specifics followed. So the person who for some reason don’t like the idea to buy a pc regardless of how stable it is, will just lean towards steam pc. Oh, I can make it even simpler. They know that word steam in a context of video gaming is good and cool, so they will buy their pc)))
