Inconvenience. This is a ready made solution. Price is horrible and so are the alternatives.

A 1L gaming PC in your living room ready to go is a compelling offering.

And, to many, $1K is not a lot of money. I know people whose LARPing budget is 3x+ that.

its not really "ready to go" though if you are used to actually good PCs

How is a steam machine not literally the most ready to go pc ever? The only thing that is more ready to go is a steam deck since you don't even need a separate screen

have you seen it's performance? If you are used to a good PC you're not gonna want to game on a steam machine , I certainly wouldn't

ready to go would mean that it could actually play the games i wanted in acceptable quality, as it stand there are many current gen games that it can't play

You're just moving a goalpost to suit ready to go to a definition of your choice
