They aren't "bad" for what they are - mobile GPUs are incredibly energy and heat-constrained. Maxwell has brought some of the most significant improvements to mobile graphics in some time, in fact. But to put it in a desktop form factor is an exercise in setting up customers for disappointment, since it sets up the expectation for desktop-class graphics performance to match.My only confusion surrounds who the audience is - Steam machines that are significantly more capable than consoles will cost much more, so it's not something a budget-minded person will want. And most people who spend a lot of money on gaming computers either already have expensive towers, or couldn't fit what they want to in the constraints of a LRPC, or prefer keyboard/mouse controls, so they wouldn't want this either.If someone who's keen to get one of these could elaborate on why, in fact, that would be helpful
