Seems like they’re getting ready to launch soon
Will be curious when the Frame launches (I have a Steam Deck and a Desktop, so im more interested in that) - I would have figured it would have launched first given the architecture
New Steam update shows four Steam Machine models, though we still don't have a release date

The four models are probably 2 storage sizes, with or without an included controller.

They have disclosed 2 storage sizes in their tech specs (512gb NVMe SSD vs 2tb), you’re probably right on the controller.
My only disappointment is the one USB-C port and 4 USB A ports. If it were me I’d trade a microsd slot and usb a3 for a usbc.

I think you're probably right, but I also think selling the Machine without the Controller is an odd choice, given Valve's bigger vision of it being a living room console.
With that said, they've already sold many of us a controller, so... It's kind of a mess.

Or maybe lower RAM models to try and have entry level machines that are at least tolerably priced since AI distorted the RAM market?

They could do a base model where you supply your own RAM and storage…
