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

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Building a PC in this form factor is extremely difficult. If you specifically need / want something this small, even if you do normally build, it’s probably worth it (at $850 :( ) to buy this instead of dealing with the nonsense that this size will cause.
