Small form factor Memes

The classic bait-and-switch from Valve! Everyone thought the Steam Deck competitor "GabeCube" (named after Gabe Newell, Valve's founder) would be reasonably priced at $500-600, competing with consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. But nope! Valve decided they're "competing with PC" instead – which is corporate speak for "we're charging you $1000+ for this tiny box." It's like going to buy a Honda and the salesman says "Actually, we compete with SpaceX." The PC gaming tax strikes again – miniaturization doesn't come cheap, folks!

The innovation we've been waiting for since 1981! Someone took a PC, made it smaller, and called it PC 2. Revolutionary stuff.

Square design, brave choice - because corners were the main problem with computing all along.

Cramming an RTX 5090 into a small case is basically GPU torture. That beast is now sweating harder than a programmer during a live demo. The bottom panel says it all - your graphics card is literally crying in thermal throttling pain while you're over here bragging about your Tetris skills.
