If I'm going to game stationary, something with more than 10W of horsepower would be nice.

I agree that the steam machine was too early. People hadn't been fully disillusioned by the planned obsolescence of their console libraries yet. Today, in a world of $600+ consoles that are impossible to find within 2 years of their release, hardly any worthwhile exclusives, and Nintendo trying to make you repurchase the old games at full price again, a steam console could potentially sweep the industry.

steal Nintendo's idea.

A Steam Deck dock with a pci slot for an external graphics card would be phenomenal.
