It is a bigger, don’t have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.
But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.
I think the pre-built is aiming to exceed the performance of the SM, albeit with much more power draw, size, and noise.
It is basically the equivalent of comparing a desktop PC to a laptop. One is cheaper if you completely ignore the form factor and purpose of the other.
