That's what I said the second I saw it. Too big to be practically portable, for me anyway. So it's basically a bigger steam deck that you only use at home. Not a bad idea, but not worth what they are charging for it, not for me anyway.

Lately I've been using an 8 year old 13" Chromebook and an old xbone controller to stream steam games from my PC to my couch.

No it's not portable, but it's all I would use it for anyway, and it cost me nothing but the parts I had laying around. Anyone else could probably do the same thing for just $100-200. Not $1000+.

I'm not against buying new stuff, and new technology. But it's not always needed. For me anyway ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
