More powerful Deck, or heck, even a more powerful official Steam Machine that doesn't break the bank?

Are there any patents or anything stopping Valve from pulling a Switch and making both at the same time?

Hell, the deck is mostly there. It just needs a dock and the ability to remove the controller from the frame.

Not sure. Could have sworn there was a prototype Razor tablet that never came to market which had removable side controllers as well.

My issue with a hybrid device like that though is the lack of power compared to standard consoles. I really want a decently specced Steam Machine that's just a really good 1080p - 1440p gaming machine
