Idk. The Deck atleast is really small, and portable.
The Cube just seems like a pc tower.

The Frame though... I wish I could afford that thing.

The cube is smaller than it looks. It’s a bit bigger than the GameCube. 3D print a handle for it and it’s as portable as a machine gets!

Edit: I mean, obviously not as portable as the Deck, but that’s a handheld.

Edit 2:
Steam Machine is 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2 cm.
GameCube is 15 x 15 x 11 cm.

Yeah, that's tiny. That's like 3.8L.

I travel with a 10L SFF PC, and that's small for an SFF case.

My understanding of volume is awful. 3.8L sounds so much bigger than the volume described by 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2cm. Like, my brain goes, “that’s almost two 2L bottles and those are huge!”

I have several pint glasses in my kitchen and they're all different sizes, and even though I know how that works it's still weird.

Not having an optical drive like the GameCube gives it a lot more space for other components, though

The cube is not a pc tower, it is a small box that can sit on a shelf.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh. Well excuuuuse me, princess.

Calm down dude, you have to admit there is a big difference between a 152mm x 158mm cube and a pc tower, they can be quite large. Mine is 54cm tall, 58cm long, 9cm wide.

Calm down? Lmao im quoting a cartoon, and you're over here trying to explain box sizes. Someone needs to chill. And it ain't me. Lol

Is there any mention of a price? The store page through the app straight up crashes my phone lol

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago
