Yeah I think the market for "I will also use this as a laptop" is so small that the vast majority of people wont factor that in, and for the 19 people that will genuinely use this as a traveling computer it will be great for them. But by and large I think 90% of people that wanted a "switch but for my PC games" already jumped on the steamdeck backwagon and there just arent that many more sales to pick up from that market segment

Well, some will want to dock it as well and use it as a computer with a keyboard and mouse. I think that's a major use.

Its a major use, but only for a niche number of people. I think theres Very, very, very few people that would get this that dont already have a main computer and/or a laptop, so the usage of this as a portable computer, while very cool and interesting, is not going to be what millions of people are doing
