steam deck can already be used as a non-handheld machine.
and if you actually need one, get a pc.

Sure, but the form factor of the Steam Deck will always limit performance and carry some extra cost with it. And for a large user base installing another OS on a PC (Holo ISO) is something they are not going to do. Hence, Steam Machine.

They just need to release a thunderbolt capable SteamDeck with a eGPU.

There is no PC as capable as the Steam Deck at the same price point.

you can build a more powerful pc for less, i built a machine with new components during the gpu shortage and it's still faster. (1050ti, 1600af)
