Before you start making plans to evict your current rig, I want to explain how the Steam Hardware Survey actually works. Rather than representing every player that uses the storefront, the monthly census instead uses a small percentage of participants who've opted in as a sample. It's anything but representative of all 154 million active users, meaning the statistic above isn't an absolute.

Does the author know how *survey sample sizes work?

Do I?

Is it because it's opt in or opt out?

Idk why everyone is giving their input when all of you will line up and buy this no matter what.

The design looks so solid but it's likely not more powerful than an RX 6750XT or RTX3080 so it's not something I'll need sadly.

It’s roughly two-thirds of a 6750xt or half of a 3080 so yeah definitely not

If a customer is satisfied with their purchase then it is equal or better to anything else out there.

Oh no, will steam machine flop again? Sometimes I wonder I am being delusional, thinking steam deck and machine has any edge in today's world where AI apparently reigns supreme.
