I guess that all depends on the price. If it's cheaper than a gaming PC of similar specs than I'd say its a good deal. If it's similar or more expensive, I'm inclined to agree that yes it's pointless so long as the Steam Deck exists.
I wouldn't say that, the Steam Deck is relatively old hardware at this point and it's basically a laptop with a decent APU, the Steam Machine has a dedicated GPU with OK specs. It can do at least some AAA gaming while the Steam Deck can't.
Good point
Unfortunately I can't afford either, but I still find it interesting what people think of it.
