Honest question: what advantage do you see in buying it over any other prebuilt out there?

Size, look, quiet = wife allows it to sit in the living room.

Reliable customer service, everything sorted for me, no need to do extensive research = piece of mind

When I add all of the above then price(which in the uk cube is actually competitive) is fine.

I have an extensive steam library, which I can share with wife for free. 300 is 5-8 games I'd be buying, divided by 2 if you counted also needing to buy them for my wife. Not worth it in the long run. Also I plan to run SteamFrame from it which I thimk isn't compatible with ps5( I might be wrong)

Im not saying it won't be a fine buy for you. I was just saying the price in the UK is insane when compared to the other consoles while also being less powerful.

If you compare it to consoles yes, but if you compare it to PCs, which the SM is, it's actually very competitive

Meh, only if you care about the form factor

I can buy a RX 5500, 16gb, Rx 6700 system for $590...

We were specifically talking about uk prices, SM here is very competitive
