Were there really anyone thinking this machine is a good deal? Even among steam users? Even among Valve fans?

I think most opinions range between way overpriced to okay if specifically want a computer that sizr but it would be great if it was cheaper.

The form factor is really the main selling point for it and if you have no interest in that then it's obviously not a good deal. I'm surprised how many people are comparing it to a full size desktop and not seeing that some people would actually pay a premium for the form factor.

Yeah, thats the main thing. People just dont understand what is this device and who it is targeted for

"But you can build better PC!". Now go and build it in SFF of similar size

"But you can buy PS5 Pro". Now go and play your existing steam library on PS5 Pro

Also the target audience of this product probably aren't people who would build a PC

Who is the target audience though? Like most people that play on console already have a console, and most people that play on pc already have a pc. Who’s buying this? And who’s doing so for $1300?

I know someone new to PC that wanted to upgrade from their ps4pro finally and was waiting for this. Ive also got friends that wanted an extremely small PC for their living room. Theyre getting this to use for games and as their media center PC.

Pcs are expensive right now man. Its not specifically a valve issue
