Comment on Steam machine prices are live
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 2 weeks agoThis is for people who don’t have a nice and powerful desktop.
You can build a significantly more powerful desktop that is also upgradable for less than this. This price renders it absolutely useless and no one should buy it.

I don’t think you can if you take into account the form factor, noise and thermals.
I built my mini itx before this silliness and it was a good 20% more expensive on account of no space and specific components

Those are probably the 3 least important factors in a gaming PC lol. There’s also nothing special about its thermals, as if that even matters. Any gaming pc worth anything will be water cooled with multiple fans and good airflow anyway.

And how many compare with gaming performance at that price point point?
I don’t know of a single one that can match it.
