The cube is smaller than it looks. It’s a bit bigger than the GameCube. 3D print a handle for it and it’s as portable as a machine gets!
Edit: I mean, obviously not as portable as the Deck, but that’s a handheld.
Edit 2:
Steam Machine is 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2 cm.
GameCube is 15 x 15 x 11 cm.
Yeah, that's tiny. That's like 3.8L.
I travel with a 10L SFF PC, and that's small for an SFF case.
My understanding of volume is awful. 3.8L sounds so much bigger than the volume described by 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2cm. Like, my brain goes, “that’s almost two 2L bottles and those are huge!”
I have several pint glasses in my kitchen and they're all different sizes, and even though I know how that works it's still weird.
Not having an optical drive like the GameCube gives it a lot more space for other components, though
