You basically just got a bigger more expensive Steam Link at that point. Which the original one should still work?
Comment on Steam Machine and Steam Frame shipping "this summer", Valve now rolling out verification systems

I wonder if they’re going to have a sku for the Frame with drastically reduced ram that’s required to be tethered to a host PC and not run anything on its own until upgraded.
Being a standalone unit is nice, but I wasn’t planning on using it that wqy, and being able to save money by reducing ram would be nice

I believe you are thinking of a Steam Machine with this response.

You’re right, kinda threw out that comment before leaving the the house.

On that note, though; I’m sure the RAM in the steam machine will likely be upgradeable, since it’s basically a small form prefab PC with Arch / SteamOS pre-loaded on it.
In fact, I hope this means we will see a desktop release of SteamOS that isn’t just turning your PC into a bulky Steam Deck.

If all I had was a big screen beyond with a steam link strapped to it that’s still a pretty great vr headset for the price

They’re not the same. The OG Steam Link isn’t a VR headset

This would be smart. Like it would have been a bonus for me but it’s not worth the premium on ram right now.
