Right; a stationary Steam Machine (upgradable, etc.) would be a desktop PC running SteamOS, which should probably remain outside the purview of Valve's hardware division.

A small set-top box (essentially a Steam Deck with the screen, controls and batteries removed, and with components that don't have the space restrictions that come with a mobile device) would still be an interesting proposition. Particularly if they partnered with the main video streaming services to port their apps across, and implemented Chromecast/AirPlay support.

I can see a market for it, as a "Chromecast and Apple TV competitor that also plays all your games".

This is what nvidia did with the shield, and they don’t make a mobile version anymore. The set top box was just that successful.

I think that's called a raspberry pie, essentially.
