Doing it yourself would mean visiting one of those build your own pc forums for help, and I think most people would rather kill themselves.

Yeah thats completely fair. I love the small cute form factor. I think there is also a social aspect to it, with communities that are going to form around it, similar to how they did around steam deck.

Yeah there is also the social aspect to consider. Which can provide a tech support system aside from Valve's, and in general connection with others that happen to have a Steam Machine or other Valve branded device!
