Steam Machine - base=$1049

Featured Replies

It's not up to par with my old desktop (gaming performance wise) nor, I think, with PS5 pro etc. Also, base has a itty bitty storage space. Not even 1TB. I think the 2TB version was something like $1200+.

I figure you all know the tech Youtubers re: stats and benchmarks.
This isn't surprising really, in today's climate. But it does make me sad re: the potential future of the thing - eg, I'd expect lowish sales after initial fan/hopeful purchase wave. Thus I wonder if Valve will give up/not make new versions etc.

I wasn't looking at it to replace a desktop or uber power gaming - I was looking at it as a way to console-like play/access already purchased Steam Library and some future releases without having to build a $$$$ whole new desktop, since my desktop can still do any desktopping just fine. Thus it's the Steam Library access that made Steam Machine as a "console-like" potentially interesting.

I'm sure there will be a wave of people making videos showing how for $1000-$1200 they could build a PC far better, heh.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
