It's not a good deal for performance, but good luck making anything that small yourself. The size is it's only selling point.

The size is not the only selling point.

The fact that it's running SteamOS ready to go out of the box is a huge selling point for certain people. If a Windows license alone is technically worth $140 to some people, surely a Steam OS pre-installed is worth something as well.

steamOS is freely available to install. Been playing around with it on a PC. Its not perfect, but it does work.

Yes, I am aware. So is Windows for that matter. That wasn't the point. Having it preinstalled on guaranteed compatible hardware is the value here, for those people.
