Meh. It’s just going to be a niche device anyway thanks to (not within their control) pricing.

100% agree. This would have been a great way for console lovers to get in on pc gaming.
But bc of wildly gestures at EVERYTHING this will be a collector’s item for people who are already into the Valve ecosystem.

It would have brought me over to PC gaming — even at that dumb price — if it had a few basic things right.
For example, 4K/60 not being baseline performance on a $1000+ machine is a deal breaker.

I was looking into how cost effective it would be to upgrade/build a new rig - from my research I think you’d struggle to make a new build that runs 4K/60 under $1000. I feel like the steam machine is maybe $100-200 above a similar build, but that ignores things like size/wattage/CEC

Just FYI. Essentially 1:1 steam machine performance, <$350 fully built. BC250 on eBay for ~$175 + $30 power supply and assortment of other parts + filament.

That’s fair, especially with new prices. I understand it, especially with RAM shortages driving up prices.
