    I want one because it’s got a proper HDMI-CEC implementation for a living room TV device, it will run silently, and it’s tiny. I also have a Steam Deck, so I expect to use them together quite often.

    I am aware I can get a different PC right now. I don’t want one bad enough to do it though. I also may not buy a Steam Machine depending upon how the price shakes out. I was thinking maybe $600ish when they announced it, but it’s not worth $1k to me given its modest capabilities.

    The small size is probably the biggest factor since it fits well under the TV, as is the I/O including HDMI-CEC, dedicated radio for controllers, reference hardware for games to work well on, everything just works.

    Desktop PC is where I do my customizations, 20 HDD bays & 6 SSD, etc, but I run Debian on there
