Yeah, but I was thinking more parents buying a console for their kids. Like oh little Jimmy can do his homework on this thing too, great I didn't have to buy him another computer. Or imagine if Microsoft put windows on Xboxes, every office building would be full of them lol.
And it would be great and would break Microsoft's hold on the "desktop" for the average user.
These sorts of computers do already exist though. They're called NUC's. Valve could basically just take one fo those, use a custom APU from AMD again, and have their own full fledged console. Heck, the XBOX and PS5 is exactly that. A Custom AMD APU in a small box.
