Steam Deck looks awful

Would you care to explain how expertise in making OS translates to developing good HW?

The fault is fully on Valve it is their product and brand there is no way around it. Didn't say Alienware have no responsibility, but ultmost responsibility lies with Steam they are the platform holder and who designed how the system was supposed to be. The great part of consoles is paying less for the HW for more performance, Steam tried to benefit of it without putting the effort just wanting the profit.

You know the story of how it went, yet at the same time you are treating Valve as if it is a copy of Sony/Nintendo, when they really aren't, and even then, Sony/Nintendo worked with HW manufacturers, not HW vendors that put together their own systems.

Sony makes it's order for manufacturing, same with Nintendo, Valve literally said to the hw *vendors* "build your own Steam machines how you want", expecting them to know better (which they should, that goes without saying). 

Steam machines was their idea, Alienware's own Steam machine was of their own HW, put together from HW manufacturers, even they didn't own half the hw inside the damn thing. The only part that was Valve's was the gamepad and the OS, nothing more. 

Valve didn't ultra specifically tell each vendor to design any of those Steam machine at all. They literally said they could do what they wanted, as long as they contained the Steam OS, because that's how Valve are, you see how they design their games, they don't spam shit out constantly like a PLC, and they don't breath down necks all the time (like the big 3 do for nearly everything). 

It's so weird how you're trying to word it like they are some big bad retard or something, when they really aren't like that. Like I said, Yuri's already explained this before and I've been trying to explain it to you here, so if you cannot accept either, then we cannot do anything more for you (but I'm not going to allow baseless blame when the subject hasn't been researched from your end, to what is common knowledge on mine/Yuri's end). 

Also we're straying off course here with past device talk, instead of the current, which is the Steam Deck.
