> Steam Machine's SSD (NVMe 2230 or 2280) and memory (DDR5 SODIMMs) are both accessible and upgradeable.

So, you're saying you can still ship on time without including these things and we just add them ourselves? Cool.

That really seems not like the target market for a product like this, though.

So its unlikely a launch like this could be successful and would just result in the new Steam pc/console being dead on arrival..

Hard disagree. The Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck are both loved for their expandable storage, the "target market" just wants to play games and doesn't protest when they get extra features they won't use.

Good luck finding DDR5 for better $$$ than Valve.
