I keep hearing how easy it is to connect a pc/laptop to a tv and just game like that.
In addition you can use your pc for productivity. Plenty of companies already sell mini pcs. Not sure hpw big of a market this will be.

Steam lacks populate games?

*Steam OS.
And yeah, as far as "popular" games go, it has atrocious compatibility.

For someone that already has a high end PC I don't see this is as a device where they are going to play GTA6 on.
It's more of a secondary device they can put next to the TV in the living room, that will have access to all their steam library and where they can play less demanding games that work well with a controller, like Silksong, Hades 2 or split fiction

Thats fine, the thing is, if they were in need of such a mashine, they are perfectly viable options to build one right now for around 700$, with same/similar specs, hell rtx 3060 which has 4gigs more vram and isnt weaker in rt/ai was avaiable early 2021, yes it had 170W tdp vs 115W which SM gpu has but u can downclock it/downvolt it and it will work exactly like that SM, in small factor pc case xD

TLDR: If some1 had such need like u mentioned and he already had high end pc- he could build/buy SM alike smallfactor pc already, he doesnt have to wait till 2026 SM launch to have one =D

PC gaming is very popular amongst kids now. Now remember when you were a kid and picture yourself asking your parents for an expensive gaming PC.

Yes. Roblox, Minecraft, WoW, LoL, Fortnite, Valorant.

I can only think existing steam deck users.

If they expect to compete with playstation, ms and nintendo they need to advertise hard for the long term and stay in the console market for years and have a usp

I predict it will be dead in 12 months
