I don't have that information, but I almost bought a Deck to use in such a manner. Figured it would be easier to carry around than my laptop since I pretty much just move from a docking station in my office to the docking station in my den (my org is BYOD since pretty much everything is through Citrix). Ultimately decided to just buy a smaller laptop (yay X1 Carbon).

Honestly, it just sounds like you're mad at GabeN for having money.

Then don't make such a claim.

No, I'm not. Just pointing out that others are subsidizing hardware cost and that the money to do so would be there but it was decided to sell a "Beginner's Gaming PC... At an Enthusiast Price" as Giant Bomb described the SM in their review.
