Prebuilts are often cheaper due to the manufacturers selling bloatet crap as "preinstalled OEM Windows" where they get paid to include a bunch of unnecessary software into their images. That way, they can sell their PCs for cheaper while still making a profit.

    I think the argument is the Steam Machine won't get that advantage because it's running Linux out-of-the-box. There's still some stuff that could be bundled, but I expect it not to do so for money. I don't think the Deck does.
