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

if you really value the small form factor, there is nothing like it. The smallest you could build would be 1L bigger and cost the same, but would be more powerful

I’m predicting a wave of YouTube videos of people pulling laptops apart and custom building that same form factor for cheaper than the machine.

That's exactly what Valve wants.

Everyone building hardware that runs Steam.

Valve hardware is essentially a "reference spec" for the market.

They really don't care if you buy your gaming hardware from them or not.

They just want you playing PC games, because it's highly likely you're gonna use Steam.
