Here’s to hoping this could be sold in major retailers. Otherwise, I just don’t see an audience such a device.

If you’ve got Steam set up on your PC, why purchase a weaker version of your PC? And if you don’t have a PC, then chances are you don’t have Steam… so you either (i) won’t know about this device, or (ii) would be better off purchasing a more powerful PS5 unless priced competitively.

Only audience I could see is those looking to enter the Steam ecosystem but not wanting a PC.

You'll be shocked at the number of people who are gaming on the midrange laptop they got in 2016... 

Based of steam surveys this is likely a decent upgrade to half of steam users. Most steam gamers are very casual, there's always this presumption that if people are gaming on PC that they're somehow an enthusiast with a rig they hand picked...

In fact PCs are just needed to get by in the modern world, whether it be to do school work or your job. They also happen to play games. Especially for young people, gaming and discovering steam is just a consequence of having a laptop for work
