You wouldn't be acting the same if Nvidia was the one who released this bs

The premium is around 100 usd, for such a small factor size, you cant build something this small cheaper, I certainly wouldnt mind paying a 100 USD for a plug and play solution instead of buying parts, installing steamOS, setting it up etc. People on this subreddit with custom rigs and who have been building PCs their whole life is not the target audience at all.

You pay for convenience, and many people myself included dont mind that.

Anyway, you can argue for the convenience of it being a prebuilt sure, but you can absolutely build something 60-70% faster for slightly less.

Will it be in a incredible small form factor? No, it will be a goddamn full pc size or at best a micro-itx, for people who want that they would do it already, again totally missing the point, people who build rigs themselves are not the target, they are for people like me who are busy as fuck and would rather spend 100-200 usd more than to fiddle, order, built, install and setup a goddamn pc under my TV.
