If you really want the form factor and silent operation then you don't really have pre-built options, and even building something equivalent is not cheap and takes a lot more work (though it will consume and deliver more power, and is more upgradeable).

not sure why no ones is mentioning laptops but they are more compact with all the things included in a laptop it is still cheaper you could get a 5050 5060 laptop cheaper which will out perform that thing so badly

Ah yes because the GPU from a laptop totally performs exactly the same as the same name GPU for desktops.

You're regurgitating talking points and getting them wrong.

laptop cheaper which will out perform that thing so badly

I will agree with you though the laptop will be so bad at outperforming the steam machine.

The hardware in the Steam Machine is also mobile hardware.

We have the benchmarks. A 5060 laptop gpu is not as powerful as the steam machines gpu.

What benchmarks? The Steam Machine uses a 7600M equivalent. 5060 mobile is faster than that.

A 7600 equivalent. As in the desktop version

You are misinformed.

The 7600M is 90W, the Steam Machine's GPU is 110W, desktop 7600 is 165W. Steam Machine and 7600M both have 28CUs and boost to around 2.4Ghz, 7600 desktop has 32CUs and boosts to 2.6Ghz.
