    Are they even trying to woo the PC gamer crowd? Based on nothing but vibes, I doubt they’ll have anything to offer them

      Well, their customers are PC gamers so it makes sense to target them. Not all gamers build their PC themselves (I’d say most don’t as I have built most of my friends pc). Having a plug and play solution, without risk of hardware/driver/software issues, can be attractive to some. The market for these is not hardcore gamers, but couch gaming.
      But if the hardware is more expensive than a pre-built, no one will buy it.
      They said in interviews that some steam deck users primarily use it docked to a TV (like I do), and that showed them there is a market for such devices.
