      Who else is buying a PC designed for gaming for non gaming stuff? What other industry is this an optimal build and design for? The last steam machine didn’t sell outside of its intended audience. Why would this one?

        Because the steam deck wasn’t a loss leader either? It is still a pc that could be used for anything. What makes it optimised for gaming after removing SteamOS? Maybe cec and what else? Pc can be used as a workstation anywhere.

          The form factor kinda does that by having a controller attached, limiting power consumption to 15W, and limiting connectivity to a single USB port
